Vertical Drill Press Setups

STEP 2 -- Stop Drilling
 
Follow the procedures for through drilling . . . except set the MARK V’s depth control dial to limit the depth of your hole. All holes will be exactly the same depth . . . until you change the setting.  Although no scrap block is necessary, using one, clamped to the table will help keep your stock from sliding.

STEP 3 -- Angle Drilling
 
Tilt the worktable to drill any angle you prefer between “0” and 90-degrees and lock it into position.  Mount your rip fence on the downside of the table.  If your angle is steep, clamp scrap blocks to the table or use a
V-Jig to protect the surfaces of the table and rip fence.

STEP 4 -- Drilling Round Stock
 
Mount the rip fence in the center of your worktable and tilt the table to 45? , forming a  V-Block.  Clamp scrap blocks to the table
(or use V-Jig) to protect its surface.  Lower the quill and adjust your table to align your bit point with the intersection of the table and fence.  Insert workpiece and drill.
