The headstock must be mounted on the column/base assembly before the drill press can be operated. Moving and installing the headstock is a two-person job, at the very least. Although the headstock can be lifted directly onto the column while upright, doing so is difficult and potentially dangerous because of the heavy weight involved. We recommend sliding the column into the headstock, then tilting the entire assembly fully upright, as described and shown in this section.
