Headstock Position
The headstock height and rotation on the Model G0705 can be adjusted for various applications. For increased quill rigidity and reduced vibrations, which will produce the best results, keep the quill fully retracted and set the headstock as low as possible.
To adjust the headstock height:
1. Using the lug wrench provided, loosen the two headstock locking nuts located on the right side of the head near the back (Figure 40).
Figure 40. Headstock locking nuts.
2. Use the head crank to move the head up or down, and rotate the headstock by hand according to your needs.

Depth Stop
The depth stop is used to limit the range of down- ward movement by the drill bit or cutter. Maximum depth is 4 11⁄16".
To calibrate the depth stop:
1.Install the cutting tool, then make sure the spindle is drawn all the way up into the head. To prevent damaging the workpiece, place a piece of paper on the workpiece. Loosen the headstock locking nuts and lower the head until the drill bit or cutter just contacts the paper. Tighten the headstock locking nuts. (Refer to Figure 40 for the location of the headstock locking nuts).
2.Turn the knurled knob of the depth stop leadscrew until the top of the indicator plate is level with your desired depth as listed on the scale to the left or right (Figure 41).
