Assembly.7 - Grizzly G1201 Instruction Manual

VII. ASSEMBLY
Most of your G1201 drill press has been assembled at the factory. The few remaining pieces
should go together quickly and easily. Assembly of your new drill press is quite straight forward
and with a few tools you can do the entire job yourself.
The bottom of the column is bolted to the base. The rack is held in place on the side of the
column by the bevel machined into the top of the column holder and the rack ring. A worm
pinion gear is inserted inside the table bracket and meshes with another gear that engages the
teeth in the rack. When the crank handle is turned the table bracket and table move up and
down the column. This arrangement allows the table bracket, table and the rack to rotate around
the column when you need to swing the table out of the way. The table can be securely locked
into place with the column lock handle and the table lock handle. The head assembly contains
the motor, pulley system and the spindle and quill arrangement that cause the chuck to rotate
and permit it to move up and down. The head assembly is held securely in place on the top
of the column by two setscrews.
1. Place the base on the floor. Be sure the surface is flat and stable.
2. Place the column holder onto the base, line up the four holes and secure tightly with
the four hex head bolts provided (See Figure 2).
3. Secure the column in the column holder by tightening the 6mm setscrew located on the
back of the column holder.
