mounting
once you have determined that the inventory is
complete, mount the machine to a workbench
through the holes in the base. We recommend that
you cut a hole in your bench top to allow access
to the under side of the base on the machine.
this will be necessary for adjusting the y-plane
leadscrew. refer to leadscrew backlash on
page 33.
the strongest 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 (figure 7).
figure 7. example of a through mount setup.
Another option for mounting is a "direct Mount"
where the machine is simply secured to the work-
bench with a lag screw (figure 8).

assembly
handwheels
there are three handwheels provided with the
machine that control table movement.
to mount the handwheels to the machine:
1.
turn the lock nut on the handwheel handles
until it is almost against the plastic handle.
2.
screw the handle into the handwheel and
tighten the lock nut against the wheel. this
nut acts as a locknut and a spacer (figure
9).

secure one handwheel in each of the loca-
tions shown by sliding the handwheel onto
the leadscrew and tightening the set screw
(figure 10).
