Depth Stop

Your radial drill press comes with a depth stop for use when drilling. Follow the instructions below for use.

1.Loosen the depth collar lock knob. See Figure 11.

2.Secure the wood stock you will be drilling onto the drill press table.

3.With the desired bit installed, lower the spin- dle until the tip of the bit just touches the wood stock you will be drilling. Hold the spin- dle in this position.

4.Turn the depth collar to the desired depth indicated by the scale on the collar. Secure the collar by tightening the lock knob.

3.Remove the wood stock and test the depth stop by measuring how far the spindle travels when the handles are rotated. See Figure 12.
