Where to locate your Drill Press Before you remove your drill press from the packaging, select the area where you will use your . machine. There are no hard-and-fast rules for its location, but below are a few guidelines. 1. There should be an area at the front, back and sides of the machine suitable for the length of material that you will be processing.
Unpacking & Assembly Unpacking requires; tin snips, knife, and wrench. Assembly requires; Hex Wrenches Note: The machine is heavy, and if you have any doubt about the described procedure, seek professional assistance. Do not attempt any procedure that you feel is unsafe or that you do not have the physical capability of achieving.

6. Remove plastic coverings and clean the anti-rust coatings from the raw cast iron surfaces, using a degreaser such as Simple Green or similar. * Do not use gasoline or distillates on or near painted surfaces, which can harm paint! Figure 17: Removing plastic Figure 18: Cleaning 7.

Figures 20-22: Installing handle (right or left side) 9. Assemble and install the table height adjustment handle, using the 3/8 x 4-1/2” hex bolt, pivot handle and set screw. Figures 23-26: Crank assembly 10.Chuck Installation: Unplug the machine prior to installing the chuck. Clean the tapered portions of the chuck arbor with mineral spirits and a soft rag to ensure that all oil, grease, or other packing debris are cleaned from the arbor.
Page 21
Clean the internal taper in the drill press with mineral spirits and a soft rag. Use a dowel or pencil to push the rag into the taper for cleaning. Any debris or residual grease can cause the chuck arbor to not seat properly. Dispose of rags safely! Rotate the outer ring of the chuck to retract the jaws into the chuck body to prevent damaging the chuck jaws during installation.

Table Adjustments Table Tilt: The tilt or angle of the table can be adjusted by disengaging the Stop Stud, loosening the Tension Nut and tiling the table to the desired angle. Tighten the tension nut to secure the table in desired position. NOTE: Some models may include a Stop Stud for a 90-degree quick reference (not for precise alignment) and may need to be removed for precision settings of table.
Page 23
Table Height: The height of the Table can be adjusted along the length of the Column. To adjust the Table Height, loosen the Column Lock on the Table Support Casting and turn the height adjustment handle to move the table to the desired height. Tighten the Column Lock to prevent the Table from moving. Column Table Height Lock...

Table Clamping The DP20 table provides several methods for material clamping. Including one side-to-side T- Slot and two front-to-rear T-Slots to use table clamps, fences, jigs, fixtures, or work vises. Figure 34: T-Slot dimensions Ten holes in the table accept various types of clamps with either 5/8 inch or 16 mm posts. Please note that during manufacturing, these holes may get thicker amounts of powder coating material onto the sides of the hole which could prevent some posts from going into the hole.
The drill press is supplied pre-wired with a 110V 3-pin plug. It is recommended that it be connected to a 15-amp (min.) dedicated circuit. Laguna Tools does not recommend connection to GFI/GFCI outlets or circuits. Local codes often require GFI protected outlets in many areas but also often provide exceptions for certain types of applications including connections to industrial machinery or when the outlet is not easily accessible along with other exceptions.

2. If, after cleaning debris on the quill (if any), the Live Depth display reads something other than 0.00, cycle the power off and then back on using the switch at the rear of the drill press or the E-stop switch at the front of the drill press. Once the boot up screen cycles off, simultaneously press the Depth button and the Laser button momentarily and then release.
Programming-Control Panel Specific and repeatable applications can be achieved with programming within the Control Panel. For example, tapping can be programmed with a specific RPM, stopping point and then reversing to back a tap out of the newly threaded hole. The DP20 touch screen will illuminate all the lit elements of the screen during start up.
Page 29
Button Functions/Touch Screen Displays: Each of the touch screen buttons has an illuminated “teal/blue” colored indicator bar below the button. When the indicator bar is illuminated, the feature is active, selected, or in the On position. When the indicator bar is off, the feature is not active. 1.
Page 30
8. Zero Button - Sets the depth display to Zero when at the material surface. Before drilling, lower the bit down to the surface of the material and press the Zero button. This will set the depth display to zero at the top of the material. Once the zero point is set and the drilling begins, the depth display will show negative values when drilling into the material and positive numbers above the material.
Page 31
13. Increment Indicators - The indicator bar will illuminate under the selected measurement increment, either Inch or Millimeter (mm). The Inch indicator will be illuminated for either Fractional Inches or Decimal Inches. 14. Auto Start Button - Used for repeated hole drilling to automatically start the spindle when pulling down on the quill stroke handle.

Selecting RPM / Drill Speed To adjust the drill press RPM, select the “SPEED” setting on the Control Panel. The light bar next to the switch will light up and flash. While the light bar is flashing rotate the Control Knob until the desired RPM is reached.
Page 35
Drill Bits Fence position The selection and use of bits is a very extensive subject, and there have been many books written on the subject. This section of the manual is intended as a general guide only. Selecting a Drill Bit Using the correct bit is important.
Figure 44: Chuck Key Holder 6. When the chuck jaws are holding the bit in place, tighten securely using the key. Making sure the chuck jaws are not touching the flutes of the bit. 7. To remove the bit, loosen the chuck, using the key while holding the bit with a rag, to prevent the bit from dropping out of the chuck.

Figure 46: Laser Light indicator Laser Adjustment: The alignment lasers are pre-set at the factory during production. These lasers can go out of alignment during transportation and assembly and should be checked and adjusted if necessary after machine assembly. They should be checked periodically and adjusted as needed during regular maintenance intervals.
Page 38
Select one of the laser modules to adjust first. Adjust the crosshair adjustment screw on the laser which is toward the rear of the drill press. Adjust this screw as needed to bring the laser line directly over the dimple in the board. Adjust the laser on the other side of the drill press in the same manner until both lasers cross directly over the dimple in the wood.
Using the drill press Install desired drill bit, tap, or appropriate tooling into chuck. Tighten Chuck with Key, replace key into magnetic holder. Adjust the table (height, swing & angle) and tighten all locks and tension bolts. Turn ON LED light if needed for this application. Position workpiece on table.
Maintenance All tools and machines require regular maintenance, and the drill press is no exception. This section details the general maintenance and care. In general, we recommend that you only use a Teflon-based lubricant. While regular oil attracts dust and dirt, Teflon tends to dry and has fewer tendencies to accumulate dirt and dust on your machine.
Troubleshooting Drill Press will not start: 1. Check that the electrical power cord is plugged into the power outlet. 2. Check that the start switch is fully lifted (back of headstock). 3. Check that the yellow safety plug is fully engaged (back of headstock). 4.
