User Tips

Safety First: Always wear eye protection and hearing protection when operating a drill press — flying chips and debris are common.

Set Speed Appropriately: Lower speeds are ideal for larger bits and harder materials; higher speeds work well for smaller bits and softer materials.

Secure Workpiece: Clamp your workpiece firmly to the table to reduce vibration and improve drilling accuracy.

Maintain the Table: Keep the cast iron table clean and free of debris to ensure stable workpiece support.
