Hey good day everybody I'm gonna do an unboxing review on this porter cable 3.2 amp 10" drill press. Here's everything it came with. First thing to do is install the column onto the base using these 3 bolts and a 13mm wrench. As far as positioning goes we're going to make it so the adjuster here is 90 degrees this way. That way the holes all line up right there.The next step is to install the table lock handle it goes right in here. Just threads right in. The next step is to install the worm gear. It needs to engage the the gear right there the inside gear. Before we put this on here this collar has to come off so they provide an allen wrench so just loosen that up take that off go ahead and put the crank handle on here and we'll have to tighten that up on there with the set that set screw right there is going to secure it right now it's loose it fits we'll tighten that up right there and then we can crank this thing around okay now when you put this on it goes on with the the arrow facing up when you install this it's got to be installed with these two together the teeth what they're talking about in the directions there the teeth on this have to already be engaged in that so what you need to do is they get installed together you slide the slide the rack that's the black is this right here this is the rack so you slide the rack into this here and then drop it down over the tube together just like this so pull it all the way out put the rack in engage the gears like that. Then drop it down in there and then this thing will sit right down in there now we'll go ahead and put the put the collar on and snug that up now you see that way this thing. You want to make sure this is somewhere in the column of the rack and the teeth are engaged on the worm gear so I'm just holding it like that and then i'll slide the whole thing on again the collar is removed collar is sitting right there and then this is just going to go you don't want to have it all the way to the bottom or all the way to the top arrow up and then it's just going to sit down right on this thing it gets installed together just like that okay there we go now you can see it'll go up and down real nice okay now what we'll do is we want to secure this thing up here with the collar tighten that down snug don't over tighten this got free range of motion here that all working good this is tight the collar is tight now i'm gonna go ahead and put the put the head on here okay it took two hands to uh to just slide that on there the directions recommend a two person lift i was able to easily do it with just one person and then the two tightening screws on that are going to be right here so i made sure they were loose before i slid it down over the the column here so i'm just going to go ahead and tighten these up crank them down and don't over tighten them that one's good and this one's good. There we go okay now on the side of the head here we're going to go ahead and install these three red handles they just screw right in here. Here's the parts that we got left we gotta install the batteries and we're gonna go ahead and install this to the spindle here. They say to clean it all out clean the inside of this out too with a non alcohol based cleaner i'm gonna go ahead and clean that up real good they see any grease or grime dirt or anything at all can make this thing not function properly and come loose we'll go ahead and clean that all out real good and make sure it's completely residue for installing this thing see how these are all the way protruded out this is the opposite of what you want you want these things all the way receded into here so we're going to go ahead and rotate this thing so these these teeth here the grippers are fully receded there is what we're after fully over seated in there fully cleaned out and the spindle fully cleaned out as well okay with the uh jaws fully receded into the chuck we're gonna go ahead and put it on there we're gonna smack it on there a little bit with the hammer it's gonna slide up on there we're gonna use a mallet and a piece of wood so we don't damage that. I gave this thing some love so I can't pull it off. I think it's going to be good to go looks like it's going to function just fine too. The chuck goes right in here the chuck key snaps right in there. The other thing to do is if you're going to install this permanently and actually you want to do this before operation is put in 2 securing bolts down there to whatever table you're going to work okay to install the batteries there's a little tab under here push that and that'll pop right out now you just put your batteries in there. That just pops right back on. The top part in first. I'll show you the light will come on there which is your light for down here.
