Difficulty of set-up. Indication of Extreme Speeds and Feeds A drill that splits up the web is evidence of too much feed or insufficient tip clearance at the center as a result of improper grinding. The rapid wearing away of the extreme outer corners of the cutting edges indicates that the speed is too high.
Adjustments Table Adjustment The table can be raised or lowered to accommodate the height of the component being drilled (refer to Figure 4). To raise or lower the table, loosen the lock handle. Then use the hand crank to move the table to the desired height.
