HeadStock

The headstock repre- sents a heavy load. Seek assistance before begin- ning this step.

1.The bottom of the headstock has a pocket for inserting the column. Position the pock- et over the column, as in Figure 15. Allow the headstock to slide down until it stops (approximately 31⁄2").

2.Align the headstock directly over the foot of the base by using a plumb bob. Lay a mea- suring tape or ruler across the drill press base and find its center. Suspend the plumb line from the center of the headstock label as in Figure 16 and lower the bob until it is near the tape/ruler. Adjust headstock from side to side until the tip is equidistant from the left and right sides.

3.Tighten the two setscrews in Figure 17 to secure the headstock to the column.
