is tightly applied against the spindle "flat." Do not operate at excessive speed; use "second" or intermediate speed, which is fast
enough for most purposes.
The saw table is used as a work support. Set surface of the table about 1-inch below center of the disc. Edge of table should
clear disc by about 1/8 inch. Plain and compound miters are sanded by using the miter gauge, tilting the table, or both. New
abrasive discs can be applied by stripping off the worn disc and holding a stick of adhesive against the revolving disc until evenly
coated and then pressing fresh disc into even contact.
The headstock and carriage can be moved to the extreme right, which will give maximum operating convenience.
CAUTION:
In sanding-disc operations, the table should always be horizontal or tilted away from the disc - never angle
table into the disc.
HORIZONTAL DRILL PRESS - In addition to handling work too large or too awkward to be worked on a vertical drill press, Shopsmith,
as a horizontal drill press, will do many jobs with greater precision and ease. Jacobs chuck is placed on the spindle and held in
place by tightening its setscrew. Drills, reamers and other tools within the 1/2 inch capacity of the chuck are tightened or
released by the accompanying chuck key.
CAUTION:
Always be sure to remove key from chuck before applying power to motor.
Locate table at desired position on the ways and set for height with micro-table raising mechanism. The rip fence and miter
gauge can be used either as guides or stops. For example: If it is required to drill a series of holes along the edge of a 1" x 12"
plank
(Fig.
18), adjust table so point of drill will center at required points and set the rip fence, as a guide, to bear against
opposite side of the work. For end-drilling in long stock
gauge to the table after the drill has been centered. When Shopsmith is used in its horizontal position, the feed lever should be
screwed into the pinion shaft knob on the side nearest the operator, so that the drill feed can be made without reaching over the
headstock.
The table extension can be used with the horizontal drill press by placing the tailstock upside down on the end of the ways. Then
attach the table extension bracket to the tailstock, and the latter to the ways, with the bracket knob and studscrew.
VERTICAL DRILL PRESS - To change Shopsmith from any horizontal-operating unit to a vertical drill press simply raise and lock the
table at its highest position and swing it at a right angle to the ways
down against carriage. Move carriage to a point about 15 inches from base plate arm and tighten carriage lever. (This point will
vary according to the operator's height to give the most convenient operating level). Move headstock up until chuck is about 8
inches from the table and lock headstock lever. Check to see that the base-plate knob is unscrewed and unscrew the headrest
knob. Grip the ways with both hands near the headrest and swing entire unit up to the vertical position. Tighten base plate knob.
The feed lever can be used on either side and the drill press operated from the right or left at the operator's convenience.
Lock-nuts on the depth stop-rod can be set to control length of spindle stroke or boring depth. To use the depth of stroke gauge,
extend the quill until the drill touches the Work piece; lock the quill in this position. Then turn the depth gauge collar until
the indicator points to zero.

To adjust it, loosen thumb knob and
set screw in indicator block and
move miter gauge body right or left
until square. Be sure in so moving
that the spring ball-bearing stop
stays in the 90ø notch. When
square, lock assembly with thumb

Rip fence should be parallel to the
saw blade. When miter gauge slots
have been checked (as above) the
fence should be parallel to the slots.
If adjustment should be necessary,
loosen the two bolts in the rip fence
base; correct alignment and tighten.
