This pocket-sized durable manual is ideal for quick reference in the workshop.
This book on hand drills and drill presses goes beyond basic safety and set up. It covers how to setup your drill press, square the table, check alignment, and how to remove the chuck on your drill press. This book displays various drilling operations from joinery to mortising, you’ll learn techniques and tips for sharpening a variety of drill bits with different methods.
When you unpack a new portable drill or a drill press, the enclosed manual doesn’t venture much beyond basic safety, assembly, and set-up. The Missing Shop Manual-Drills and Drill Presses takes that next step with you. Even if you’ve been woodworking for years, you’ll wish this was the manual that originally came with your new drill.
