Question

what must be removed before starting the drill press? * a) drill bit b) vise c) chuck key d) tail stock

Explanation:

To ensure safety when starting a drill press, the chuck key (used to tighten/loosen the chuck) must be removed. Leaving it in can cause it to fly out, posing a hazard. Drill bits are needed, vises hold workpieces, and tailstocks are for lathes (not drill presses).

Answer:

C) Chuck key
