The alignment pin (E) only works at 90

°

 and must 

be reinserted when the table is returned to 90

°

Reinsert the alignment pin, along with the nut, and 
tap it lightly with a rubber mallet for full insertion.  

 

Figure 15 

8.3

  Table insert leveling 

Refer to Figure 16. 

The insert should be flush with the table surface: 

1.  Remove the two screws beneath table insert 

(G, Figure 16). 

2.  Loosen any of the wing nuts (H) and rotate the 

bolts (J) as needed until the insert is level with 
the table surface.  

TIP: A straight edge clamped to the table and 
across the insert will facilitate correct leveling 
during this procedure. 

3.  Tighten all four wing nuts. 

4.  The two screws (G) may be reinstalled, if 

desired, to retain insert in position. 

 

Figure 16  

8.4

  Table slots 

The table has four through-slots and two T-slots, 
for attaching clamps, fence, or other accessories. 

8.5

  Chuck and arbor removal 

Refer to Figure 17. 

1.  Disconnect machine from power source. 

2.  Lower the table to clear the chuck area. 

4.  Lower quill assembly with the downfeed 

handles to expose slot and lock it in the 
lowered position (see 

sect. 8.5, Quill retraction 

lock

). While maintaining the lowered quill 

position, rotate spindle by hand to align the 
slot in the spindle with the slot in the quill. 

5.  Insert drift key (HP1) into the aligned slots and 

tap lightly. The chuck and arbor assembly 
should fall from the spindle. 

 

Prepare to catch the chuck 

and arbor as it drops. Striking the floor 
could damage tool.

 

 

Figure 17 

8.6

  Installing bits 

The chuck accepts bits with a 5/8” or smaller 
shank. 

1.  Insert bit (not provided) into chuck jaws with 

about 1” insertion. When using a small bit, do 
not insert it so far that the jaws touch the flutes 
of the bit.  

2.  Make sure bit is centered in chuck before 

tightening chuck. 

3.  Turn chuck key clockwise to tighten chuck 

jaws. See Figure 18. NOTE: Insert chuck key 
into each of the three holes in the chuck and 
tighten to ensure tightness of each jaw. 

4.  The chuck key has a spring-loaded pin to 

prevent it being left in the chuck. However, 
always check the area and clear away any 
tools before starting the drill press. 

5.  Turn chuck key counterclockwise to loosen 

chuck jaws and remove bit.
