seen that the chrome cover has a total of three notches (Fig.30b) cut into the
edge that align with the cast body of the head stock. One of these notches is
located over a cast peg (Fig.30a) that is part of the main casting.
WARNING: Before slackening the lock nuts ensure that the chrome housing
is held securely with a suitable grip or wrench. If not held securely the quill
spring will fully uncoil. Carefully slacken the lock nuts (Fig.30c) only enough
to allow the chrome housing to be pulled out far enough to just clear the cast
peg (Fig.30a) while holding the chrome cover with suitable grips. The spring is
still under tension and will try to uncoil as soon as it is released so be sure to
resist the torque. As soon as the chrome housing is able to clear the cast peg, turn the chrome housing in
an anti-clockwise direction until the next notch locates onto the peg. While holding the chrome housing in
this position tighten the lock nuts. Do not over tighten otherwise you will damage the chrome cover.

DRILL OPERATION
I N D U S T R I A L
POWER TOOLS
USING A MACHINE VICE
WARNING: The Pillar Drill should never be used without the work piece
being securely held in a machine vice or clamped directly to the drill table.
The drill table is designed to accept a variety of machine vices which can be
fastened directly to the drill table; (Fig.31) gives an indication as to the type of
machine vice required.
Always secure the vice to the table with bolts, washers and nuts. If the drill
jams into the work piece, an unsecured machine vice will spin out of control
causing the drill to snap and possibly injure the operator.
USING THE 3 JAW CHUCK (Fig.32)
Select the drill bit required, then select the correct speed from the drilling
speed chart (Page. 14 - Fig.49) and change settings as per the section
CHANGING THE SPINDLE SPEED on page 12. Open the jaws and insert the
drill shank centrally into the chuck (Fig.32). Rotate the chuck by hand until the
jaws grip the drill bit. The chuck has three holes around the chuck body. Using
the chuck key, exert an even torque to tighten, moving from one hole to the
next until all three holes have been covered. Do not over tighten otherwise you
will have difficulty removing the drill bit.
SETTING THE DEPTH STOP
This facility is useful if a number of uniform depth holes are required in a work
piece. The depth stop is located on the front of the drilling head. To adjust,
turn the thumb wheel (Fig.33) to the right to increase the depth of travel of
the drilling head or to the left to decrease the depth of travel.

ASSEMBLY

FITTING THE TABLE/SUPPORT ARM ASSEMBLY AND THE GEAR SHAFT (Fig. 5 – 9)
Locate the table support arm assembly and the gear shaft (Fig.1) . Offer the gear shaft through the top of
the table support arm and locate the gear shaft against the gearing. (Fig.6) Hold the gear shaft in place
with your thumb whilst locating the table support arm over the column. (Fig.7)
Lower the table support and the gear shaft until the shaft locates in the top of the column supporting cup
as shown by the arrow in (Fig.10) Locate the
gear shaft retaining cover (Fig.1) and place over
the top of the column (Fig.8), lowering down
until the bevelled under edge of the cover
locates on the top of the gear shaft. Tighten the
grub screw in the cover to hold the gear shaft in
place (Fig.9) Loosen the support arm column
clamp (Fig.11) and turn the handle (Fig.10) to
check the table moves easily up and down.
Once you are happy with its function, tighten the
support arm column clamp (Fig.11) Do not put
too much downward pressure on the cover as
the gear shaft and the table/support arm need
to be able to rotate 180° around the column in
order to use the base as a secondary work table
when working on larger objects (Fig.23).
FITTING THE HEAD STOCK AND
MOTOR ASSEMBLY (Fig.12 – 13)
Locate the two grub screws in the side of the
drill head stock and motor assembly (Fig.13).
Using a hexagonal key slacken the two grub
screws. Lift the drill head stock and motor
assembly onto the column (Fig.12). Make sure
that it slides down and locates fully on the
column. Position the head stock and motor
assembly, with the drill head aligned over the
table and base plate. Tighten the two grub
screws (Fig.13) to secure the head stock and
motor assembly into place. Retain the hexagon
keys for future adjustments.
FITTING THE CHUCK
The chuck has a taper fitting, simply place it
onto the spindle adaptor and tap with a soft
rubber mallet (Figs.14 - 17). This is enough to
secure in it place and it should be tight enough.
