This is a "radial" drill press.

This machine is held together by a set of cylindrical clamps on various posts that form the machine structure.

This property allows the user to tilt and reposition the drill press head and the table, if desired.

Please refer to the Rikon 30-250 manual for more detail on how to make these adjustments.
