OPERATIONS Your drill press is to be used with drill bits with a shank of 5/8" or less in diameter. The following will give the inexperienced operator a start on common drill press operations. Use scrap material for practice to get a feel of the machine before attempting regular work. The use of accessories and attachments not recommended by Delta may result in risk of injury. IMPORTANT: When the workpiece is long enough it should always be positioned on the table with one end against the left s

BORING IN WOOD Twist drills, although intended for metal drilling, may also be used for boring holes in wood. However, machine spur bits are generally preferred for working in wood; they cut a flat bottom hole and are designed for removal of wood chips. Do not use hand bits which have a screw tip; at drill press speeds they turn into the wood so rapidly as to lift the work off the table and whirl it. For through boring, line up the table so that the bit will enter the center hole to avoid damage
