The spindle on right angle positive feed drills retracts at
a much faster rate than it feeds. Care must be taken to
avoid entrapment.
Nosepieces usually used with these drills are generally
slotted for visibility and access to chuck, cutter, and
retract stop adjustments. A spindle guard should be
used when operating the tool.
Spindle guards in one inch increments are available to
accommodate any length spindle. Slotted spindle guards
are available for tools with fluid swivels.
