Use Figure.37.to select the optimum motor-to-spindle pulley ratio for drilling, cutting, and sanding
operations. for example the above figure shows the belt in the C position on the spindle pulley and the

Your new drill press comes fitted with a depth
stop that allows drilling many holes at a pre-
setdepthconsistently.Whenthehexnutsare
set, the nuts will contact the stop flange and
stop the drill press from drilling any deeper.
To.adjust.the.drilling.depth,.do.these.steps:
1. Measure the maximum depth that you want
to drill a series of holes at. In this example
the maximum depth is 1 1⁄4" deep.
2. Loosenthehexnutsshownonthedepth
stop and align the lower nut to the 1 1⁄4"
markonthedepthstoprod(seeFigure.
38).
3. Hold the lower hex nut and tighten the
upper hex nut so both nuts are locked
together.
4. Make sure the depth has been set cor-
rectly, measure, or drill a hole into scrap
wood before drilling into any workpiece.
