PERMANENT MOUNTING

If your drill press is to be used in a permanent location, the drill press base must be secured to the supporting surface

with fasteners through the two mounting holes, (A) Fig. 20, in the drill press base.

MOUNTING DRILL PRESS

TO A PLYWOOD BASE

If you do not fasten your drill press in a permanent

manner, the drill press must be fastened to a plywood

mounting board to prevent the drill press from tipping

over during normal use. NOTE: Use a good grade of

plywood with a minimum 3/4" thickness. Do not

make the mounting board from particle board since

particle board breaks easily.

1. Drill two 3/8" diameter holes 12¼" (B) Fig. 21, apart

from center, corresponding to the mounting holes (A)

Fig. 20, of the drill press base in a 21" by 28" minimum

size plywood board.

2. Fasten the drill press base to the mounting board

using the carriage bolts, flat washers, lockwashers, and

hex nuts (C) Fig. 21, furnished with your drill press. The

holes for the carriage bolt heads must be countersunk

so that the bolt heads are flush or below the bottom

surface of the mounting board in order to guarantee

proper stability.

3. When the drill press is mounted to the supporting

board, the board must extend a minimum of 3" beyond

each edge of the drill press base, as shown in Fig. 22.

4. The plywood base must be secured to the floor or

supporting surface if there is any tendency of the drill

press to vibrate, slide or walk during normal operation.
