At the rear end of the motor shaft, there is a threaded
location to accept the optional Drill Chuck (Fig. 67),
enabling your machine to be used as a radial drilling unit.
The capacity of the chuck available is 10mm or %".
It is particularly useful in preparing material for dowels (Fig.
68), and for drilling a series of identical holes (Fig. 69).
It also enables many drill accessories to be used with your
Powershop, such as drill bits, boring bits, grinding wheels
and arbors, sanding and polishing discs, flexible drive, etc.
Note: For complete safety, always remove the Sawblade
before fitting the Drill Chuck.
Special adjustable mitre fences are available as an
accessory to extend and speed-up the angle-cutting
facility of the Powershop (Fig. 70). The non-identical pair of
fences fit in place of the standard wooden fence (Fig. 71)
and allow cuts to be made from 0-90°, including acute
angles left or right, as well as the more normal angles in
excess of 45°.
In picture framing, for example, you would set material
against the left- hand fence for the first angle and then the
next piece would be laid against the right hand side to cut
the matching 45° angle and guarantee a neat 90° corner.
If the project requires various mitre angles, use of these
fences avoids having to make a new cut in the standard
fence each time, since the sawblade always passes down
the middle between the pair of special fences.
This accessory (Fig. 72) ensures that the blade returns to
the rest position behind the fence after each cross-cut. It
is particularly useful when the project involves repeated
passes of the blade. The return mechanism is mounted via
the two holes in the top right-hand side of the column, with
the other end of the cable attached to the yoke assembly.
There are two different types of Legstand.
DW1251
Cat. No. DA850 fits the DW1251 (Fig. 73) and is assembled
as follows:
The stand comprises 12 strips of angle iron.
(i)
The 4 legs are the long angle pieces with holes at
one end only. The other ends of the legs accept the
orange rubber feet.
(ii)
Of the remaining 8 pieces, two pairs fit together at
the top of the legs to form the top of the Legstand
which is the same size as the base frame of the
DW1251.
(iii)
The remaining two pairs fit to the legs at about one
third up from the feet.
(iv)
Do not tighten any of the nuts and bolts in the
Legstand assembly until all have been properly
located in the relevant holes.
(v)
Once you have been able to tighten the stand '
together, the Powershop can be secured to the top. If
you do not have an assistant, the best way is
probably to lay the Powershop down with its column
on the floor. You can then lay the Legstand down
and bolt it via the holes provided. The complete
Powershop plus Legstand can then be carefully stood
upright.
