Table Adjustments
The table can be adjusted to accommodate
height of materials to be sanded or drilled. To
adjust:
1. Loosen the table support bracket lock knob.
Turn the table hand crank to raise or lower
the table. Figure 27.
2. The table can be adjusted out of the way so
the base of the drill press may be used to
support the workpiece for drilling opera-
tions only. Loosen the table lock knob and
pivot the table to the back side of the col-
umn. Figure 28.
3. The drill press is supplied with 4 table
inserts. Always choose the insert whose
opening is only slightly bigger than the sand-
ing drum chosen. Figure 29. For drilling,
always use the table insert with the small-
est opening unless using a vise. Install the
chosen table insert into the pocket provided
in the top of the table.
4. The table should be adjusted so the opening
in the installed table insert is centered to
the drill bit or sanding drum. Loosen the
table and pivot the table until the bit or
drum is centered with the hole.
A table insert is not needed when sanding with
a 2" drum.
Sanding Tip: To use all of the grit on the paper,
adjust the table height as the paper wears.
When the thickness of the workpiece does not
allow much table movement, remove the drum
from the sanding spindle, turn it end for end and
replace it on the sanding spindle.

Never sand or drill with-
out the table for support
and workpiece properly
secured. Serious per-
sonal injury may occur.
