Utilize the depth gauge for precise measurement.Select the appropriate drill bit: Choose a drill bit with the correct size and type for the material and desired hole diameter.Install the drill bit: Secure the drill bit tightly into the drill chuck following the chuck’s manufacturer instructions.Set the spindle speed: Choose the appropriate speed setting based on the material and drill bit size from the 12 available speed options. Refer to a drill speed chart for recommended speeds.Engage the power and downfeed: Turn on the drill press and activate the power downfeed system if desired for controlled drilling. Lower the spindle slowly with the quill handle, applying gentle pressure.Drill the hole: Maintain steady pressure on the quill handle while the drill bit penetrates the material. Utilize the depth gauge to monitor drilling progress and stop when the desired depth is reached.Disengage the power and raise the spindle: Turn off the drill press and power downfeed (if engaged). Raise the spindle using the quill handle.Clear the hole (optional): If necessary, use a deburring tool to remove any sharp edges around the drilled hole.BENEFITS OF USING Jet GHD-20PFT 20″ 230V 3PH Tapping Drill Press w/ Pwr Dwnfd (354026):Precision drilling and tapping: Achieve accurate and consistent results for various metalworking projects.Heavy-duty construction: Ensures long-lasting durability for demanding workshop environments.Versatility: Handles a wide range of drilling and tapping applications with its powerful motor, multiple speeds, and large table capacity.Ease of use: User-friendly features like the power downfeed, depth gauge, and tilting head simplify operation.Increased productivity: The power downfeed system and efficient design streamline drilling processes.FEATURES:Heavy-duty design for a variety of precision drilling and tapping applications.Integrated tapping and reversing controls.Large production table and T-slotted base.Easy-to-read internal depth gauge.Three power downfeed rates.Calibrated fine downfeed built-in.TEFC motor.Built-in spindle lock.Head tilts left or right.Easily accessible table raiser.
