Description:
The drill press comes in a floor standing model. It has a motor driven head that has a chuck that accepts bits or cutters. It also has an adjustable table on which the work is mounted. It is operated by pulling a rotary lever that lowers the drill bit into the material. To avoid accidents, the following operational safety rules must be observed by everyone working on the Vancouver Hack Space drill press. Failure to follow the safety rules may result in a loss of shop privileges.
