It wobbles a little bit. It is just a drill support for your hobby shop / garage, when you need a hole decently vertical, but it's not as accurate as a press drill. In fact, many press drill have also some wobbling. Bottom line: For the garage, occasional hole in wood or metal with a better vertical than doing the hole by hand, yes. If you are really looking for accuracy and are aligning several pieces and you have to drill them separately, not quite. I'm happy myself with it, but my line of work falls in the first category (just vertical hole, not a lot of accuracy)

It pivots on the rounded piece on the bottom, allowing it to slide inside the rungs, then you step on the step above and slide the platform back out with your foot and step down. Hard to explain, makes sense when you actually see it working.

Robb is correct, it's the detent mechanism that allows you to quickly attach or remove your drill bit. Pulling out on it releases the detents allowing the bit to be inserted or removed.

Many drill presses have a press fit chuck. Clean the inside of the chuck and the out side of the shaft completely. Put something solid under the chuck and pull down on the handle to force the chuck home firmly. Then tap with a hammer to tighten with a wood block between hammer and chuck.

I would simply extend the point of the bit through the guide. Place the tip of the bit on the mark and then lower the guide to contact the material you are drilling. Clamp the guide firmly without moving the bit or the guide.

You put firm pressure down on the tool and push and pull back and forth. Works really good on soft soil or pre tilled soil. Wouldn't recommend to attempt to cultivate hard ground. It takes a lot of work

on the BOTTOM of the unit there is a hole that the tool inserts into. manually turning will generally release any trapped debris and allow the unit to run. make sure its turned off when you use this.

Not sure if I am understanding your question correctly. What I did do is grab the drill and I was able to turn the chuck without pulling the trigger or powering up the drill. I hope this helps.

screw the punch on first and position and center to your liking then remove one screw at a time apply the loctite and rescrew in working in a cross cross pattern

This is a *hand* drill set, meaning that your hand provides the twisting action of the drill. Typically you hold the shaft of the handle between the thumb and first two fingers of your right hand (if you are right handed), and the butt of the tool (which twists) presses against the palm of your hand while you twist the shaft. These are really tiny bits, so you have to go very slowly and provide light but even pressure while you twist. Never apply off-axis force or the bits will break. The key is to go very slowly.

It's a "Hammer Drill" it's supposed to hammer while drilling. Its just the way it is.

The tool has standard 1/4" drive so you'd have to use some type of adapter to use a drill bit. It doesn't have a chuck mechanism.

The manual doesn't mention it however another user of the DP400 said this in his comment. I haven't used this a lot, but I do have some comments. I have the Delta DP400 drill press. I bought the mortising attachment from another company not knowing it was also a Delta brand. When I got it, I read the instructions and started to install it. At first I found out that all three bushings that were supplied didn't fit. A couple of pages later I found out that for my type of Delta press, they weren't needed and it fit perfectly without needing one. The manual didn't make any mention of the DP400 model specifically. One odd problems was that the T-nut that is used to mount the fence to the table wasn't tapped. I had to anneal it and then run a tap through it. Of course this was happening about 1am, so it wasn't like I could get to a hardware store. One last item is about aligning the mortising chisel and fence. While I haven't made an alignment jig yet, I plan on making one by very carefully aligning the fence then making a single hole into a straight piece of wood. After that I can just plug the chisel into the hole and use the attached board to align the fence. I will go ahead and drill a hole using all four chisels. Overall, it seems well made and fits my Delta drill press perfectly. It seems pretty stout and while the carrying case doesn't fit well, it does hold everything. You just have to disassemble almost everything first.

The end that you put in to the drill snaps into the metal part of the bit holder, if the other end does not fit in the bit holder, swing it the other way, it won't fit perfectly in the holder but it will still hold.

Yes. There is even a Youtube video showing a regular guy doing it. I don't own a drill press and I didn't want to mess it up. I tried to find a gunsmith to do it but they get all high and mighty when you ask them to work on an evil assault weapon. I took it to a machine shop to get the holes drilled. The plate is to be mounted 10mm (1cm) below and paralled to the top lip of the receiver.

You need to hold the end of the drill's head, set the drill mode for counter-clockwise rotation, and pull the trigger until the teeth inside the head open large enough for you to put the bit in. Put the bit in, reverse the rotation, and pull the trigger until it is tight. If you are unable to get the drill to move under your grip, increase the torque by turning the numbered dial to a higher setting and try again.
