Outfeed Roller Height

1.Disconnect machine from power source.

2.Make sure the knives are set properly as previously explained under "Knife Adjustment."

3.Place the gauge block (J, Figure 26) on the table directly beneath the cutterhead (D, Figure 26).

4.Using a 0.02" (0.5mm) feeler gauge (K, Figure 26) placed on top of the gauge block, raise the work table until the knife just touches the feeler gauge when the knife is at its lowest point. Do not move the work table any further until the outfeed roller is adjusted.

5.Remove the feeler gauge and move the gauge block (J, Figure 27) under one end of the outfeed roller (F, Figure 27). The bottom of the outfeed roller should just touch the top of the gauge block. If an adjustment to the outfeed roller is necessary, loosen the lock nut (L, Figure 27) and turn screw (M, Figure

27)until the outfeed roller just touches the gauge block. Then tighten lock nut (L, Figure

6.Check and adjust the opposite end of the outfeed roller in the same manner.

Infeed Roller Height

Use the exact same procedure for checking the infeed roller as you did for the outfeed roller, except use a .004" (0.1mm) feeler gauge atop the gauge block. If adjustment is necessary, use the lock nut and screw on each end of the infeed roller.

Chipbreaker Height

The chipbreaker breaks off the larger chips before the stock reaches the cutterhead. Use the gauge block and a .004" (0.1mm) feeler gauge to check the height of the chipbreaker, following the same procedure as above. If adjustment is needed:

1.Remove top cover.

2.Loosen the lock nuts (A, Figure 28) at both ends of the chipbreaker, and turn the set screws to raise or lower the chipbreaker as needed. The set screws should be turned the same amount.

3.When the chipbreaker contacts the gauge block, tighten both lock nuts (A, Figure 28).

The Powermatic 209 uses a powerful motor that provides ample torque for a variety of materials, from soft woods to tougher metals. The variable speed control feature allows users to easily adjust the spindle speed to match the requirements of the specific operation, accommodating drill bits of different sizes and materials. This adaptability is further enhanced in the 209HH model, which is equipped with an integrated digital RPM readout. This technology provides real-time feedback to the operator, allowing for optimal speed adjustments and ensuring enhanced accuracy.

Another key characteristic of the Powermatic 209 and 209HH is their precision-engineering features. The machines include a laser positioning system, which aids in aligning drill bits with great accuracy on the workpiece. This feature significantly reduces setup time and ensures consistent results, especially on intricate drilling tasks.

Furthermore, both models come with a quick-release table, making it easy to switch between various workpieces. The adjustable quill depth stop is another notable feature, allowing operators to set precise depths for repeated drilling tasks, thus enhancing productivity.

In conclusion, the Powermatic 209 and 209HH drill presses stand out in the marketplace for their combination of robust construction, advanced technology, and precision engineering. These machines not only ensure high-quality results but also bring a level of efficiency and adaptability that is vital for serious craftsmen.
