I hope, this is going to help you a lot for proper setup and maintenance of the drill press. Safety is a first and foremost thing to consider while setting up the drill press. You need to take proper safety precaution before assembling the drill press. You should check out the points below before the set-up:. Lubrication is very important for the smooth run of any motor. It also, enhance the longevity by protecting the materials used in power tools.
Use a coat of wax paste or rub with a wax paper to save the surface of the table. It is proper lubrication method of a drill press. Moreover, lubricate will and spline with the light machine oil.
For finding out the lubrication point, take some time to digest the manual of the drill press. Then apply it for the well managing of the drill press parts. Though setting the speed is not in the assemble part of the drill press. You can change the speed after the complete drill press setup of the machine. For determining the best speed and feed you need to consider some important points. Firstly, the material of the stock. If the material is soft, go for high speed. It will let you quickly drill holes through the woods and plastic and save times.
On the other hand, if materials are hard then applying lower speed. Lower speed will allow you to have proper holes in the tough surface. Besides, you need to consider the type of the drill, the size of the hole and the quality of the cutting. Thus, all these results in the perfect output with better accuracy. You need to ensure a safe environment for the proper drill press setup. The auger bit fits inside the chisel and protrudes slightly. During operation, the auger drills a round hole and the four-sided chisel squares the corners.
Cut side by side, square holes create mortises. Slow down. Mortising chisels work best at slow speeds, between 1, rpm and 1, rpm, depending on the mortise size and the wood density.
Within this range, use trial and error to find the speed that works best. Mount the mortising fence on a separate base, rather than fastening it directly to the drill press table. Then clamp the base to the drill press table. This setup makes the fence easy to adjust; so positioning the workpiece is a breeze. Install the chisel and bit. The chisel holder, which clamps on to the drill press quill, centers the chisel directly beneath the chuck.
Lock the chisel with its collar tightly against the holder. Then slide the bit into the chuck. Leave a gap. The gap is essential, because it allows shavings cut by the auger to be lifted into the hollow chisel and ejected. If the gap is too small or too large, the trapped shavings will bind the bit.
Then reposition the chisel. Lubricate the auger bit after making sure it spins freely inside the chisel. Shut off the power, rotate the chisel 90 or or degrees and retest. If the squeal persists, loosen the chisel holder and rotate it slightly. Check your hold-down. Installation of the Machine. First of all, the installation of the drill press must be done at a proper place. The shop floor engineer must consider the ergonomic considerations while carrying setup a drill press in the machine shop.
There must be sufficient amount of space available to the machine operator for carrying out the machining operations with an ease. The land on which the drill press is installed should be at a proper level. We must avoid placing the machine on an uneven portion of ground. Otherwise, it might affect the performance of the machine and make it unstable. Due to this, we must enforce on using the machine on a leveled surface.
Establishing the Support. It is also essential to provide the sufficient amount of support to the structure of the machine. In this way, we can assure its proper functionality. Initially starting with the foundation, we must make the use of bolts for installing the drill press. Check out the Safety Measures.
