The POWERTEC 71539 drill press table features a T-Track
system that allows for quick and secure mounting to most sizes
and styles of drill press tables.
1. Place the table on top of your existing drill press table
and determine the best position based on your drill press
and requirements. NOTE: The insert opening is not in the
center of the table. The shorter side of the table should be
positioned towards the column as shown in Figure 6.
-For drill presses 12" or larger - center the table
opening on the drill press chuck in both directions.
-For drill presses 12" or less - center the table
opening left to right and push the table back against
the column.
-For drill presses with a table 9" wide or less, slide the
T-Bolts on two of the supplied 71083 POWERTEC
T-Track hold-down clamps into the lower table
T-Track slots and clamp directly to the existing table.

Flip Stop
Refer to Figure 9 and 10
The POWERTEC 71367 3" fence flip stops are extremely
versatile and quickly convert from inboard to outboard
position for a variety of applications. In addition, the flip
arm can be moved from right to left to match your feed
direction requirements.
• Slide the T-Bolt on the bottom of the flip stop into the T-Slot on
the top of the fence. See Figure 10.
• In the inboard position, the stop works with the supplied multi
T-Track fence and functions as an easily adjustable stop.
• In the outboard position, the body rotates and the flip arm
moves out. In this position the stop can work with the supplied
multi T-Track fence and a 3/4" sacrificial wood board.
To Convert from Inboard to Outboard Position
Remove the knob and T-Bolt and rotate the stop body 180°.
Replace the knob and T-bolt. See Figure 9.

TIPS
• Turn the feed handles on the drill press to makes sure they do
not interfere with the fence system. If needed, one or more of
the feed handles may need to be removed.
• Periodically check and make sure all knobs are tight
and secure.
• Clean the drill press table/fence system after each use:
-Wipe the drill press table and vacuum all T-Slots in
the table and fence.
-To prevent condensation and rust between the two
tables, DO NOT leave the drill press table mounted
on the drill press for long periods of time.
