DRAWER BASE
Included with SKU DPPROT-B and also sold separately.

NOTE: The DP-PRO TCS can be adapted to virtually any drill press. Fundamentally, there are two types of drill press tables, those with through- slots and those with T-Slots. Section I. details installing directly to through slots. Section II. details installing with an interface board on aT- Siot table. And Section Ill. (gage 5) details installing on either style using the DP-PRO Drawer Base. Take a look at your drill press table and proceed with the appropriate Section.

MOUNTING DIRECTLY TO A THROUGH-SLOT TABLE

AT THIS POINT YOU WILL NEED:
(1) Table (23.3/4″ wide}
A-3 46) Panhead Phillips Wood Screw. #10
B-1 (4) Rectangular Nut, 5/16-18
1A. If the main table of your drill press is easily removed, set your DP-PRO TCS Table face down on a work surface. Remove the original table from your drill press. Set it face down onto your DP-PRO TCS Table. Center the original table over the 1/8″ hole in the DP-PRO TCS Table. FIGURE A.
2A. Pick (4) locations that are well away from the filler recess on the opposite side and as widely distributed as possible. Mark the locations on the DP-PRO TCS Table (1).
Remove the main drill press table and drill 5/32″ pilot holes at the (4) locations to a depth of approximately 3/4″.
3A.Secure the tables together by installing (4) Panhead Screws A-3. Rectangular Nuts B-1 are provided to bridge over large slots in the main drill press table.
18. If your main drill press table is not easily removed, locate the DP-PRO TCS Table @ on the main drill press table, centering the indexing  hole of the DP-PRO TCS with the center hole of the main drill press table.
2B. Reach under the table and mark (4) locations through the table slots, well away from the filler recess. Remove the DP-PRO TCS Table, tum it over and and drill 5/32” pilot holes at the (4) locations to a depth of approximately 3/4”.
3B.Secure the tables together by installing (4) Panhead Screws A-3. Rectangular Nuts B-1 are provided to bridge over large stots in the main drill press table.

MOUNTING TO A T-SLOTTED TABLE WITH INTERFACE BOARD

AT THIS POINT YOU WILL NEED:
0] (1) Table (23-3/4″ wide)
A-3 (6) Panhead Phillips Wood Screw, #10
B-1 (4) Rectangular Nut, 5/16-18
1. If your drill press table has T-Slots, you’ll need to make an interface board at least 1-1/2″ wider than your main drill press table, approximately the same depth as your main drill press table and preferrably 3/4″ thick. MDF and Baltic Birch plywood are popular choices for the material.
2. Theincluded Rectangular Nuts B-1 will likely fit the T-slots in your table. Given the wide range of table sizes and thicknesses, no bolts are provided. Determine the proper length and purchase (4) 5/16-18 bolts. The bolt heads must be mounted flush with or below the face of the interface board. Hex head bolts will need to be counter-bored or flathead machine screws will need to be counter-sunk. 3. Select four locations for mounting bolts. They should be the outermost points of the fit between the main drill press table and the interface board. Mark the locations ensuring that they are centered on the T-slots.
4. If using hex head bolts, counter-bore the holes the appropriate size and depth to accomodate any washers and the bolt heads. Drill 3/8″ diameter through holes. FIGURE B shows counter bored holes. If using flathead machine screws, drill 3/8″ diameter through holes and counter-sink to appropriate depth. Mount the interface board to the main drill press table.
5. Align the DP-PRO TCS table on the interface board so the indexing hole in the table aligns with drill chuck. Clamp the DP-PRO TCS table to the interface board and drill (4) pilot holes outside the edge of the main drill press table. Use Panhead Screws A-3 screws to fasten the DP-PRO TCS table to the interface board

MOUNTING WITH THE OPTIONAL DRAWER BASE

AT THIS POINT YOU WILL NEED:
1 (1) Table (23-3/4″ wide)
1 (1) Drawer Base
A-2 (2) Drawer Slide (includes Drawer Slide Extension)
The DP-PRO Drawer Base 4 has several slots in the Base. The pattern is designed to intersect with virtually any pattern of slots in a factory drill press table. Before installing the Drawer Slides A-2 and Table (), set the Drawer Base on your main drill press table with the center holes aligned and find the outermost points where the slots in the Drawer Base align with the slots in your factory table. These are the optimum points for securing the Drawer Base to your factory table. It’s a bit easier to decide where you want to locate your fasteners before the table top is on. FIGURES G& H (page 6).
NOTE: If you purchased the Extension Wing option, you should install the wings onto the DP-PRO TCS Table before proceeding further with the installation. Directions for installing the wings are included with the Extension Wing Kit.

     If  you use a power driver be extremely cautious. FIGURE I.

  2. Assemble a Nylon Washer C-3, Red Tube C-2 and aNylon Washer C-3 onto the Screw of the Knob 8 in that order and into the Oval Nut C-5 securing with the Knob. FIGURES 1 &J.

USING THE DP-PRO FLIP STOPS 3

« The Flag of the Flip Stop should always be on the chuck side of the stop. Stops to the left of the chuck should have the Flag on the right side of the Flip Stop assembly. Stops to the right of the chuck  should have the Flag on the left side of the Flip Stop assembly. Figure M.
To reverse a Flip Stop for use on the other side of the chuck, remove the Flag Screw, reverse the Flag and re-install it. Figure N.
Loosen the Locking Thumbwheel and position the stop approximately where you need it. Tighten the Locking Thumbwheel.
The precise position of the Flag can be fine-tuned using the Micro-Adjust Thumbwheel.
