Boring Bit Information
This Line Boring achine requires 6 left (RED) and 7 right (BLACK)
10mm shank boring bits (optional, not included). ost common boring
bit sizes are 5mm or 7mm.
The front of the machine head is identified with colored circles which in-
dicate the corresponding boring bit to install, all spindles identified with a
red circle will rotate counterclockwise, all spindles identified with a black
circle will rotate clockwise.
Installation & Alignment
Warning: Before mounting or removing a boring bit, remove safety guard
and disconnect from power source. Reinstall safety guard before operat-
ing LIne Boring achine.
1. Boring bits (A) Fig.9 are especially designed for Line Boring achine
spindles, they have a flat face (B). Insert and position the flat face of
each boring bit into the corresponding spindle (red or black) and align
it with the spindle set screw (C).
2. Tighten each set screw of each spindle. Before proceeding to the next
step, make sure you have installed the correct boring bit in the corre-
sponding spindle.
3. Place a flat piece of wood (A) Fig.10 that is long enough to cover all
13 boring bits onto the table, under the boring bits, up against the
fence. Pull down on the feed handle until ANY of the 13 boring bits (B)
come into contact with the workpiece. If all of the bits come in contact
with the workpiece at the same time, no alignment is necessary.
4. If a boring bit needs alignment, hold the feed handle down. Loosen the
set screw (C) Fig.9 of a boring bit that is NOT touching the workpiece.
Let the boring bit drop down and come into contact with the workpice.
Secure the bit by tightening the set screw.
5. Repeat Step 4 as necessary until all of the boring bits are touching the
workpiece.
ADJUSTING THE FENCE
1. The fence (A) Fig.11 can be moved back and forth by loosening the
two lock handles (B) on both sides of the fence and manually moving
the fence to the desired position. ake sure to align the scales (C) on
both sides of the fence to the identical measurement, and retighten
lock handles (B).

B RINGDEPTHST P & HEAD HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The boring depth scale (A) Fig.12 on the side of the machine displays
the boring depth in Imperial and etric measurements.
1. ove the boring head down as close to the workpiece as possible with-
out making contact, and tighten the top depth stop lock knob (B) Fig.12,
this adjustment sets the maximum height the head will travel upwards
between each operation.
2. Use the scale lock knob (C) Fig.12 to set the maximum boring depth
to the desired position by moving it up, this adjustment will act as a
stop to prevent drilling further than desired. Use the scale (A) as a
guide to make the desired adjustment.
3. For all workpieces thicker than 2-1/2”, loosen the two hex. bolts (D)
Fig.12 , one on each side, and turn the knob (E) to raise the boring
head to the desired position.
USINGFENCE W RK ST PS AND INDEX PINS
A typical line-boring operation consists of a workpiece positioned against
the fence (A) Fig.13 and the fence stop (B) as shown, 13 holes are bored
with a 1-1/4” (32mm) centre distance between each hole.
The fence stops (B) Fig.13 can be moved to the desired position by
loosening and tightening the lock handle (C).
If more than 13 holes are required, lift the fence stop and slide the work-
piece along the fence and push down on the indexing pin (A) Fig.14 until
the pointed end of the pin is in the last hole previously bored. This aligns
the workpiece for the next series of holes.
