    Default 12 speed belt drive 32mm floor standing drill press adjust table angle

    I have one of these, of generic origins. I want to drill some wood at an angle. The table is adjustable for angle, to 45 deg in either directions.

    Under the table is a large bolt, I think with a 32mm head.....18-20 mm thread. There is also a much smaller threaded rod with a nut on it to adjust .. something.

    I first tried the little bolt to no effect that I could see. I then started to loosen the large very slowly at each try. The able became loose and wiggled, but still no rotation. As the table is very heavy, I stopped unless it fell off.

    I have tried searching manuals, but without luck.

    So yeah. Do I use the large bolt, or is the little one some sort of set screw?

    Any help appreciated.

    Yes remove the small one as it is a detent to hold the table at 90degrees. The large one is the locking nut.

    OK. Thanks for that. I figured, but I am having trouble with the little screw and I will probably have to lubricate it.
