Glossary of Terms
Angle gauge -Indicates the angle of till of the drill press head.
Backup material -A piece of scrap wood placed between the
workpiece and table. The backup board prevents wood in the
workpiece from splintering when the drill passes through the
backside of the workpiece. It also prevents drilling into the
table top.
Base -Supports drill press. For additional stability, holes are
provided in the base to bolt the drill press to a workbench.
(See specitic safety instructions tor drill presses).
Belt guard assembly -Covers pulleys and belts during the
operation of the drill press.
Belt tension -Refer to the ASSEMBLY section (Belt tension
adjustment).
Belt tension knob -Turn to apply, adjust, or release tension to
the belt.
Bevel scale -Shows the degree of table tilt for bevel opera-
tions. The scale is mounted on the side of the arm.
Chuck -Holds the drill bit or other recommended accessory to
pe???n desired operations.
Chuck key -A self-ejecting chuck key which will pop out of
the chuck when you let go of it. This action is designed to help
prevent throwing of the chuck key from the chuck when the
power is turned on. Do not use any other key as a substitute;
order a new one if damaged or lost.
Column -Connects the head, table, and base on a one-piece
tube for easy alignment and movement.
Column-head bracket -Connects and supports the horizontal
tube of the drill press head assembly to the vertical column.
Column support -Supports the column, guides the rack, and
provides mounting holes to attach the column to the base.
Depth scale -Indicates the depth of the hole being drilled.
Depth scale pointer -Indicates the drilling depth by pointing
to the depth scale.
Depth scale lock -Locks the depth scale to the selected
depth.
Drill bit -The cutting tool used in the drill press to make holes
in a workpiece.
Drill on/off switch -Has a locking feature intended to help
prevent unauthorized.and possible hazardous use by children
and others. Insert key into switch to turn the drill press on.
Drilling speed -Changed by placing the belt in any of the
steps (grooves) in the pulleys. See the spindle speed chart
inside the belt guard.
Feed handle -Moves the chuck up and down. If necessary
one or two of the handles may be removed when the work-
piece is of such unusual shape that it interferes with the hand-
les
Fence -Attaches to the table to align the workpiece or for fast
repetitive drilling. Removable. Remove fence when it interferes
with other drill press accessories.
Horizontal feed knob -Moves the radial drill press on the
horizontal tube to drilllarger workpieces or move the drill be-
tween holes without unclamping workpiece.
Horizontal rack -Combines with the gear mechanism to pro-
vide easy forward and backward movement of the drill press
head.
Milled slot -Groove on the horizontal tube for the vertical lock
knob. Maintains the drill press head in the vertical position.
Rack - Combines with the gear mechanism to provide easy
elevation of the table by the hand operated table crank.
Revolution per minute (R.P .M.) -The number of turns com-
pieted by a spinning object in one minute.
Rotation lock handle -Locks the drill head at the desired tilt
angle on the horizontal tube.
Spindle locks -Locks the spindle to the horizontal tube
column. ALWAYS lock the housing in place while operating the
drill press.
Spindle speed -The R.P.M. of the spindle.
Spring cap -Adjusts the quill spring tension.
Switch key -Removing the key from the "ON/OFF" switch
makes the drill press child-safe.
Table -Provides a working surface to support the workpiece.
Table bevel lock -Used for locking the table into any angle.
Table crank -Elevates and lowers the table. Turn clockwise to
elevate the table. The support lock must be released before
operating the crank.
Table support -Rides on the column to support the table.
Table lock -Locks the table after it is raised, lowered or rotated
on the rack and column.
Tilt lock handle -Locks the drill press head at the desired
angle of tilt.
Vertical lock - Locks the drill head into a vertical position by
snapping into a milled slot on the horizontal tube.
V-Groove -A scored groove on the horizontal tube used with the
angle gauge to determine the degree of tilt.
Workpiece- Material being drilled.
