    The document provides information about safely operating a drill press. It discusses [1] wearing protective equipment, [2] inspecting the drill press for damage before each use, and [3] securely clamping materials being drilled to prevent injuries. It then [2] introduces the drill press as a machine that uses a rotating drill bit to bore holes vertically into materials. Finally, it [3] lists the main parts of a drill press including the power switch, headstock, table, quill and chuck.

    DRILL PRESS

    1. SAFETY
    This section discusses the safe use of the drill press as well as the hazards associated
    with it. This section is the most important of all the sections because it emphasizes safe
    practices, as well as preventative measures to ensure safe use of the drill press.
    i. Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection and avoid wearing loose
    clothing.
    ii. Always inspect the equipment for damage to electrical components and cords,
    belts, and other components prior to use.
    iii. Inspect multi-cutting-edged drill bits or tooling for damage prior to use with the
    drill press.
    iv. Never leave the machine unattended when it is turned on.
    v. Ensure all materials being used are secure to the platform prior to drilling or
    boring holes.

    Serious lacerations and entanglement can occur if operators contact the rotating bit
    or chuck, or when operators try to hold the stock by hand when drilling. If not
    adequately secured, the stock can spin violently and contact the operator and others
    nearby. Also, injuries can occur from a projected chuck key if it is left in the chuck.

    2. INTRODUCTION TO THE DRILL PRESS

    The drill press is a machine that uses a multiple-cutting-edged drill bit or tooling secured in
    a rotating chuck to bore and drill holes, normally into wood stock. Either in floor or bench-
    top designs, drill presses are usually arranged vertically, requiring the operator to raise and
    lower an operating handle to control the drill bit. These machines also have variable speeds,
    and some have multiple spindles for gang drilling. The most used drill press is a single-
    spindle, floor-mounted, belt-driven machine for non- production drilling. The drill press
    should never be used in place of a router, milling machine or any other equipment designed to
    remove material in a linear motion.
    3. PARTS/ COMPONENTS

    A. Power Switch: Turns motor ON/OFF


    B. Light Switch: Turns light ON/OFF.
    C. Headstock: The cast-iron upper portion of the drill press, which houses the quilland
    work light, and supports the motor and belt housing.
    D. Belt Tension Lever: Adjusts motor location to increase/decrease belt tension.
    E. Belt Tension Locks: Two knobs on each side of headstock lock motor in place.
    F. Table Height Crank: Raises/lowers table.
    G. Table Lock Lever: Locks table rotation.
    H. Spring: Automatically returns quill into headstock.
    I. Lash Screw: Removes quill lash.
    J. Depth Stop: Limits quill travel to a pre-set drilling depth.

    2
    K. Quill: Houses the spindle and bearings
    L. Spindle: The hollow shaft that accepts the arbor.
    M. Arbor: A tapered shaft that connects the chuck to the spindle.
    N. Chuck: Accepts drill bits with shanks from 3⁄64" to 5⁄8" and uses a JT-3 key.
    O. Scale: Displays current table-tilt angle.
    P. Column Lock Lever: Locks table height.

    4. FUNCTIONS
    I. The drill press’ main function is to drill holes by use of a rotating tool in a linear
    vertical motion.
    II. Another function of the drill press is to enlarge existing holes by boring them
    with a reaming tool.
    III. An additional function, though not a primary function is to tap a hole using a tap
    tool, which threads the hole to be used with bolts or screws.

    5. OPERATIONS
    I. Setting the speed- Setting the speed on the drill press involves adjusting a
    series of belts in the headstock of the machine.
    II. Removing and installing drill bits/ tools involves the use of a chuck key.
    Remove/install drill bits/tooling by installing the chuck key into the chuck
    and rotating it to loosen or tight the clamps inside the chuck.
    III. Vise/ clamping fixture holds the material that is being drilled or reamed in
    place. Secure the material in the clamping fixture prior to drilling.
    IV. Adjust the Table height as needed to achieve proper drilling/reaming based
    on bit length and desire hole depth and material height.
    V. Adjust jam nut on depth stop to restrict the amount of depth the hole will be
    drilled/ reamed too.

    6. TOOLS/BITS
    Drill bits- used for drilling boring and counter boring.
