General specifications The Wilton Model 1230 is a powerful and versatile radial arm drill press. The drill head is mounted on an arm and can move along the arm to position the spindle over the work piece. The arm, itself, can be rotated on its support column to allow centering the spindle over the work piece. Drilling can be performed manually or with power assistance.

attachment to do a job it was not designed for. 16. Use only recommended accessories and follow manufacturers instructions pertaining to them. 17. Keep hands in sight and clear of all moving parts and cutting surfaces. 18. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area. Make workshop completely safe by using padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys. 19. Know the tool you are using — its application, limitations, and potential hazards.
Operating Instructions Clamping workpieces to the machine Both the box table and the base surface are slotted to accept a suitably sized T-slot clamp. Before begining any work on the drill press, anchor the work piece, and the box table, too, if used, to be certain the workpiece and/or box table will not move when the drill, tap or boring tool enters the workpiece.
Inserting tooling The Model 1230 uses a #4 Morse taper in the spindle to secure tooling. Any drill, milling cutter, or tool holder with a #4MT can be inserted into the quill. Caution The first step in removing or inserting any tooling is to be absolutely certain the machine cannot be accidentally started during the insertion or removal operation. The only way to be certain of this fact is to disconnect power to the machine using the service box cut-out switch.
CAUTION NEVER swing the drill press arm using the support column unless you are absolutely certain the drill press base is firmly attached to the shop floor. You can tell if the base is bolted to the floor by checking the mounting pads at the four corners of the base. There should be a securing bolt through each mounting pad.
feed rates, plus a neutral position where the power feed does not operate on the quill. It is recommended that when doing operations which do not require power feed that the dial be set to the neutral position. This minimizes any wear on the power feed mechanism. The feed rate selected is indicated by a pair of rivet heads on the edge of the rate setting dial. These values are indicated on the far outer edge of the readout.
Spindle direction and power feed The spindle can be driven clockwise or counterclockwise. The direction of rotation is controlled by the control lever on the left hand side of the drill head. See Fig. 1. Clockwise or "forward" rotation is the direction of rotation for right-hand tooling -- which is the vast majority of tooling used in machine operations. However, if you use left-hand tooling for any operations, the spindle direction can be set to counterclockwise or "reverse.
Resetting the STOP switch Using the control lever 1. Turn the switch in the direction of the arrow on the red button -- clockwise. The switch is reset and the other spindle motor controls can be used. The four-position control lever is located on the left hand side of the drill head console. See Figs. 1 and 3. The control lever can move up or down, backward or forward, or can be left in its most central, OFF or neutral position so no functions are under its control power.
release it. Rather, the lever stays in the position in which you put it when you are controlling the spindle. There is no need to hold it in position to keep the spindle running. All of these functions are clearly labeled on the plate which surrounds the control lever and boot. Periodic maintenance The only maintenance for the Model 1230 is lubrication and changing of the coolant according to the schedule, below.
Machine set-up 1. Lift the drill press from its shipping skid according to the diagram, below. 2. Secure the drill press to the floor The drill press MUST be anchored to the floor according to the layout diagram below. Failure to anchor the machine properly, according to these diagrams, could result in the machine tipping over and consequent damage to the machine and possible injury or DEATH to the machine operator and bystanders. 3.
Caution Electrical set-up should be performed only by a licensed electrician who is familiar with national and local electrical codes. The Model 1230 is shipped after testing all functions and circuits under electrical power specified for the machine and motors. The only hook-up requirement should be for correct connection to an appropriate cutout on an appropriate service branch.
