W1681 Buffing Assembly

SETUP

Mounting

The strongest bench mounting option is a "Through Mount" where holes are drilled all the way through the workbench, and hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to secure the drill press to the workbench.

Another option for mounting is a "Direct Mount" where the machine is simply secured to the workbench with a lag screw.

The Model W1681 is designed to mount to a bench top using (4) 516" diameter lag bolts or through bolts, as shown in Figures 2 & 3.

The motor must be mounted either directly below or behind the Buffing assembly. If the motor is mounted below the buffing assembly, a hole must be cut in the bench to allow passage of the V-belt between the buffing assembly and the motor. If the motor is mounted behind the buffing assembly, no hole in the bench is needed because the V-belt will connect to the motor through the rear casting of the buffing assembly body.

The buffing assembly must be attached to a stable workbench capable of handling the rigors of a motor driven machine. Determine if you will be mounting the motor below or behind the buffing assembly.

Motor Below

1.Position the buffing assembly on the workbench in the desired position. Mark the four mounting hole locations onto the workbench, as shown in Figure 4.

2.Trace around the open area on the inside, bottom edge of the buffing assembly. This will be the hole for the V-belt passage to the motor mount beneath.

3.Remove the buffing assembly from the workbench. Using a jig saw and drill, cut out the V-belt passage hole and drill the mounting holes into the workbench.

4.Place the buffing assembly over the mounting holes in the workbench. Using (4) 516" diameter lag bolts or through bolts, attach the buffing assembly to the workbench, making sure that it is secure.
