Drill press having telescoping extension arm

摘要

A drill press comprising a vertical post (3) and a table (11) supported by the vertical post (3). The drill press additionally comprises a clamp plate (12) adjustably secured to the table (11); and a telescoping extension arm (40) for providing support for an extending portion of a workpiece, the arm (40) being fixably securable at selected locations relative to the table (11) by the clamp plate (12). The telescoping extension arm (40) may include an extension rail (44) and the table (11) and clamp plate (12) jointly define a channel (48,50), such that the rail (44) is slidably disposable within the channel (48,50) and may be clamped between the clamp plate (12) and the table (11) fixably to secure the arm (40). In this way either the effective width or the effective length of the table may be increased. <IMAGE>
