When the drill is further extended, the indicator will register the exact depth of cut. The quill lock-lever will hold the spindle at any
extended position. The rip fence is a very useful guide for drilling a series of holes, or as part of a jig; the table will tilt to any
desired angle.
It is advisable to use a piece of wood as a "pad" between the table and work to be drilled in order to prevent the table from being
scarred.
CAUTION:
When drilling metal, always support the work in a table vise or clamp, or clamp it securely to the table; do
not attempt to hold such work in the hands. Re-check to be sure headstock lever and carriage lever are tight before
raising to vertical drill-press position.
MISCELLANEOUS APPLICATIONS
BUFFING - Use buffing wheels on a Shopsmith 1/2 inch arbor
(Fig. 21)
and operate at high speed. Polishing compounds, such as
tripoli, emery and rouge deposited on the ways should be carefully removed before sliding carriage or headstock.
SCRATCH BRUSHING - Steel or brass-wire scratch brushes in various degrees of fineness can be used to produce either a rough-
textured or fine satin finish on metals, depending on type of brush and operating speed. Support on a Shopsmith 1/2 inch arbor.
DRUM SANDER - In either its horizontal or vertical position, Shopsmith can be used to excellent advantage as a drum sander
(Fig.
22). Tool-rest can be used as a guide. The Shop-smith sanding drum, which fits "over" the spindle, is recommended. For
precision type of surfacing or sanding, the Shop-smith shaper fence is recommended with sanding drum, see
(Fig.
23).
ROUTER - The large work table makes an excellent surface for routing and veining operations. Both the miter gauge and rip fence
can be used as guides. Use a Shopsmith router chuck to hold router bits. (See Instructions packed with Accessory).
SHAPER - Shopsmith can be used in either of two positions for shaping and molding: horizontal or vertical. Shopsmith shaper
fence and arbors are available for this operation. (See Instructions packed with Accessory.)
FLEXIBLE SHAFT - Shopsmith makes a good source of power for a flexible shaft
(Fig.
24). The table makes an excellent base for
resting or clamping work when grinding, routing, and buffing, etc.
MORTISING - With Shopsmith mortising attachment
(Fig. 25)
accurate mortising can be accomplished in either the horizontal or
vertical position. (See Instructions packed with Accessory.)
JOINTING - Using the Shopsmith shaper fence, and 2 1/2-inch jointer-cutter, edging or light jointing can be easily performed in
either the horizontal or vertical position.
