ZJ4113 Drill Press Depth Stop Mount

thingiverse

The arm that holds the depth indicator/depth stop on my drill press broke, so I made a new one. This is a cheap benchtop import drill press sold under many names, and will probably fit any similar drill press with a ~40mm internal diameter on this part and held in place with an M6 bolt. Note: Installing this required removing the chuck from the drill press spindle. On most drill presses this is held in place by friction on a tapered shaft. The right way to remove this is to use a pair of wedges above the chuck. Alternately and not recommended, I removed mine by placing a drift punch on the back of the chuck and giving it one solid tap. Whichever method you use, put a cardboard box under the chuck before you do this so it doesn't bounce off the table and roll under the heaviest shelf in the shop. Printing: 50% infill printed in PLA seems strong enough based on limited testing. This part doesn't have a truly flat side, so I printed it with a tiny amount of support material under the recessed circular area that grasps the spindle.
