Adjusting Table Height & Tilt - Shop fox W1668 Owner's Manual

Adjusting.Table.
Height.&.Tilt
You can adjust the table height and tilt to
accommodate for workpiece height or achieve
special drilling/sanding angles. You can also
move the table out of the way and use the drill
press base as a table for drilling/sanding.
To.adjust.the.table,.do.these.steps:
1... Loosen the table lock lever.
2. Turn the hand crank to raise or lower the
table, as shown in Figure.34.
3... Position the table so the opening in the
installed table insert is centered to the
drill bit or sanding drum.
NOTE: If the table is not needed, pivot
the table to the back side of the column
(Figure.35) so you can support the work-
piece on the base (drilling.operations.
only)..
4... Tighten the table lock lever.
5... Loosen the table tilt lock bolt.
6... Turn the index pin jam nut clockwise and
draw the index pin out of the casting until
you can rotate the table to your desired
angle, and use the tilt scale to find your
desired drilling or sanding angle (see Figure.
36).
NOTE: Use this index pin only for indexing
the table in the "Zero degree" position.
(To index the table back to the zero posi-
tion, turn the table to zero, tap the index
pin back into the casting, snug the index
pin jam nut, and tighten the table tilt lock
bolt.)
7... Tighten the tilt table lock bolt, and double
check your angle.
