Editing Instructions:20in Drill Press

== Purpose ==
The drill press is used for drilling holes. Fences and stops can help make cuts safer and more precise.

== Safety ==
'''Do:'''

* Use clamps, fences, and fixtures to hold the workpiece
* Make sure the table is locked in place before starting
* Use a sacrificial board when drilling through the workpiece

'''Do not:'''

* Hold workpieces by hand when drilling - the bit can lift and spin the workpiece, causing injury
* Drill into the table surface or communal jigs

=== Emergency Stop ===
The drill press can be stopped with the power switch.

== Operating Procedure ==
# Set the table height:
## Consider the height of your sacrificial surface, drilled material and drill bit
## Unlock the table lock
## Crank the handle to change the height
## Securely lock the table
# If drilling completely through the material, install a waste board to protect the table.
# Clamp the workpiece to the table. Never hold workpieces by hand when drilling.
# Install the drill bit in the chuck
# Set the speed range: large tool = SLOW, small tool = FAST
# Using the feed handle, carefully press the bit into the workpiece.
# When drilling deep holes (more than 2x the diameter of the drill bit), raise the bit periodically to clear chips.

== Shutdown and Housekeeping ==

* Remove all workpieces, tools, and fixtures
* Store drill bits in their proper spot, organized according to size
* Make sure the chuck key is stored in the holder on the side of the drill press
* Wipe down table, handles, switches with a brush or rag
* Sweep floor around the drill press and work table
