Press Safety Rules.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS https://www.lsu.edu/eng/mie/cuf/ammf/safetyrules/Drill
Press.php

Always remove the chuck's release key
before starting the drill press to avoid the
risk of your arm getting twisted around
the spindle. Never leave the key in the
chuck while the machine is running.
Avoid holding the workpiece by hand;
securely clamp it to the table before
starting the machine.
Operate the drill at the recommended
speed and avoid excessive force; moving
too quickly can lead to drill breakage and
pose injury risks.
If the workpiece slips, avoid stopping it
with your hands. Stop the machine before
making any adjustments.
Avoid excessive pressure on the feed
lever when using drills, reamers, or tools,
as it can cause breakage and injury.

COMPONENTS & FUNCTIONS
HEAD
The upper section of the drilling machine is
known as the head, housing a spindle that
moves both upward and downward.
SPINDLE
It is used to hold and rotate the drill bits
tool. It is fitted with the head of the drilling
machine.
CHUCK
It secures straight shank cutting tools, and
the drill chucks, whether three or four jaws,
move together when the outer sleeve of the
drilling machine is rotated.
TABLE
The table supports the workpiece or job
and is adjustable in both upward and
downward directions.
HAND WHEEL
Rotating the handwheel causes the spindle
to move vertically, going up and down.
ELECTRIC MOTOR
Electric motor supplies power to the
drilling machine
COLUMN
It provides support to the table, head, and
all other attached mechanisms.
BASE
The most important part of the drilling the
machine as it carries the whole weight of
the machine.
DRILL PRESS DIAGRAM GUIDELINES
1 . Prepare your workspace
Maintain a clean and organized workspace,
removing any debris that could impede your
movement or pose a safety risk.
2. Choose the right drill bit
Choose a drill bit appropriate for your
intended material.
3. Adjust the drill press
Adjust the height of the drill press table to a
comfortable level.
4. Secure the workpiece
Position the workpiece on the table and
ensure it is correctly placed. For stability,
utilize clamps or other securing techniques.
5. Position yourself
Stand or sit properly and align yourself with
the drill press.
6. Activate the drill press
Turn on the power switch to start the drill
press.
7. Begin the drilling
Lower the drill bit gradually and steadily
onto the marked spot. Apply constant
pressure as it penetrates the material.
Maintain a firm grip and control.
8. Complete the drilling
Once you've drilled to the desired depth,
release pressure on the handle, lift the drill
bit, turn off the drill press, and wait for it to
come to a complete stop before removing
the workpiece.
