M1102/M1103
Mounting
The Model M1102 must be secured to a bench. The Model M1103 base should be secured to the floor, or bolted to a mobile base.
Bench Mounting
To mount the Model M1102 drill press to a table:
1.Clamp the base on a bench top capable of hold- ing approximately 100 lbs. plus the weight of the workpiece using two clamps. Make sure the surface is flat and stable.
2.Using holes in the base as a guide (Figure 17), drill and bolt the base to the bench top using lag bolts, or hex bolts, flat washers, and hex nuts.
Floor Mounting
Once you have confirmed that your Model M1103 is running properly, we strongly recommend mounting it to the floor to ensure optimum stability.
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor studs (Figure 18) are two popular methods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We suggest you research the many options and methods for mounting your machine and choose the best that fits your specific application.

Mobile Base Mounting
Because the Model M1103 drill press is
If you must use a mobile base, ALWAYS mount your drill press to a base plate inside of the mobile base, as shown in Figure 19.
A good quality base plate increases the standard footprint of the drill press to make it much more stable. The base plate must be at least 11⁄2" thick and made of plywood (do not use OSB, MDF, or particle board as this type of board will soak up oils, breakdown, and screws or bolts may pull through).
