Flexible Lamp, Table Adjustments | Porter-Cable DP350 instruction

FLEXIBLE LAMP

The flexible lamp operates independently of the drill press. To turn the lamp “ON” and “OFF”, rotate switch

(A) Fig. 18A.

To reduce the risk of fire, use 40 watt or less, 120 volt, reflector track type light bulb (not supplied). A standard household light bulb should not be used. The reflector track type light bulb should not extend below the lamp shade.

TABLE ADJUSTMENTS

1.The table can be raised or lowered on the drill press column by loosening the table clamp (A) Fig. 19, and turning the table raising and lowering handle (B) Fig. 20. After the table is at the desired height, tighten clamp (A) Fig. 19. NOTE: Final positioning of the drill press table should always be from the bottom to the up position.

2.The table can be rotated 360 degrees on the column by loosening clamp (A) Fig. 19, rotate table to desired position and tighten clamp (A).

3.The table can be tilted right or left by pulling out and removing table alignment pin (C) Fig. 21. NOTE: If pin (C) is difficult to remove, turn nut (E) clockwise to pull pin out of casting.

4.Fig. 22, illustrates the table alignment pin (C) removed. Loosen table locking bolt (D), tilt table to the desired angle and tighten bolt (D). When returning table to the level position, replace table alignment pin (C). This will position the table surface at 90 degrees to the spindle.

5.A tilt scale (E) Fig. 23, is provided on the table bracket casting to indicate the degree of tilt. A witness line and zero mark (F) are also provided on the table to line up with the scale (E).

This variability is crucial for adapting to different materials and thicknesses, enhancing user capability.

Another standout characteristic is the drill press's 2-inch stroke length, which allows for deeper drilling and increased versatility. This feature is particularly valuable when working with thicker materials or when creating holes that require more depth. The depth stop system is another excellent addition, enabling users to consistently achieve the desired depth across multiple projects.

The DP350 also incorporates a durable and stable base that minimizes vibrations, providing a steady platform for accurate drilling. This stability is complemented by an adjustable work table that can tilt and swivel, allowing for greater flexibility and ease of use. The table can also be easily locked in place, ensuring safety during operation.
