Abstract
A drill press table includes a drill table having a pivot element on one end of the drill table, and a support member having a bracket with at least one bracket recess. The drill table is mounted to the support member such that the pivot element is rotatably engaged with the bracket. The pivot element includes a pivot element plate with an arcuate slot that received a bolt. A locking mechanism extends through the pivot element plate, and removably secures the pivot element to the support member bracket. Ends of the arcuate slot, in cooperation with the bolt provide positive stops at extreme tiltable positions of the drill table at 90° and 45° from horizontal. The drill press table also includes a detent mechanism, which at least partially engages with the bracket recess, thereby indicating a desired position.
Claims28
A drill press table, comprising:
- a support member having a bracket with at least one bracket recess;
- a drill table pivotally connected to the support member bracket;
- a pivot element plate connected with the drill table, the pivot element plate having an arcuate slot;
- a locking mechanism extending through the pivot element plate to removably secure the pivot element plate to the support member bracket;
- a bolt received in the arcuate slot, so that ends of the arcuate slot provide positive stops at extreme tiltable positions of the drill table;
- and
- a detent mechanism configured to at least partially engage with the at least one bracket recess, thereby indicating a desired position of the drill table.
A drill press table, comprising:
- a support member having a bracket with a plurality of bracket recesses, wherein at least one of the plurality of bracket recesses corresponds to an extreme tiltable position of the drill table;
- a drill table pivotally connected to the support member bracket;
- a pivot element plate connected with the drill table;
- and
- a detent mechanism connected to the pivot element plate and configured to at least partially engage with the plurality of bracket recesses, thereby indicating a desired position and thereby providing a positive stop at the extreme tiltable position of the drill table.
