Homemade drill holder

Not every person is ready to purchase expensive units for his home workshop. However, this does not mean that you have to do without complex machine tools. A real master can personally make fixtures that significantly expand the functionality of simple tools. So, for example, having made the holder for a drill with your own hands, you can effectively use it as a drilling machine.

The advantages of the system

Collected from scrap materials rack provides many advantages.

1. Opportunity to save on the purchase of expensive equipment with a narrow application profile. The serial model of the device can only be used as a machine, while a drill from a homemade system can be removed and used for its intended purpose.
2. As the main elements of the system, you can use the details of the deviceswhich are not used for a long time because of malfunction or outdated characteristics. Boxes with old tools can be found in any storeroom.
3. To assemble such a device is not difficult even at home. In the public domain there is a huge number of different schemes and drawings, developed by professionals and experienced craftsmen. Following the instructions, you can easily cope with the task.
4. The holder made for the drill can be attach to a workbench or table, it does not require extra space. With some effort, you can develop your own scheme that meets all the requirements of your workshop.

Listing all the positives, do not forget about the shortcomings. You can spend a lot of time and effort on thinking through all the little things, but homemade will always be inferior to professional equipment. The most common among such devices are the following problems.

1. To create some elements of the rack will have to seek help from a turner. This may require the investment of additional funds, both temporary and cash.
2. In connection with the artisanal method of manufacturing elements, they can backlash, which adversely affects the work. From this can suffer the accuracy and quality of future products.
3. Self-made racks can not perform complex operations, for example, for most of them, angle drilling is not available.

Summarizing the above, we can conclude: if the stand is required for simple processing and is not often used in everyday life, feel free to undertake independent production. In the case of continuous use, and even more professional activity, it is better to save money on the factory tool. In the end, he will pay for himself, and work behind him will not like more comfortable.

Tools and materials for work

This manual describes how to create a rack that is almost entirely made of wooden parts. To work on the model you will need:

• twenty-millimeter boards - this thickness is optimal for the manufacture of parts;
• small box equipped with furniture guides;
• threaded rod - it will be used in the movable part of the rack;
• stock of short and long screws; take several packs at once; you may need spare or duplicate ones;
• glue for joinery;
• hacksaw;
• clamp;
• screwdrivers;
• high-quality electric drill;
• sandpaper for final processing.

Assembly stages

1. First of all, you need to carefully study the drawing and figure out which tools are best suited for work.
   

2. After studying the scheme, you can start carpentry work. Assemble the main platform from a wooden sheet and four blocks.
   
3. After that, start markup vertical blockwhich will accommodate the movable part with a drill.
   

4. Use metal furniture guides for creating runners. They are fixed with screws. All markings must be made very clearly so that the individual parts fit together. Carefully assemble the moving part, connect the box with the runners. Check that the elements do not get stuck while driving and do not dangle too much.
   
5. Now it's time to collect base plate. Take a sheet of wood and a few bars, connect them together in the same way as the main platform was assembled.
   
6. Mark a circle in the center of the plate, draw it out so that it is exactly in the middle.
   
7. Use a jigsaw or a hacksaw to cut a circle, try not to damage the wood.The edges should be neat, without corners and bends.
   
8. Fasten the support plate to the vertical part of the installation. For this, it is recommended to use furniture corners and screws. Twist them need a screwdriver, as a screwdriver can damage the wooden parts.
   
9. Check how the drill passes over the plate. If it touches the edges, gently file them.
   
10. Construct drill holder. This part will allow you to properly distribute the load and more accurately manipulate the drill. Fastenings for the drill should exactly match the device, the clamp should not be too weak and not too narrow.
    
11. The final stage is the attachment of the latest parts and moving parts. Collect lock blockwhich is used to limit the height of the drill. Also at this stage you need to take care of installation brush holder. This element controls the free rotation of the brush, uniform pressure and facilitates further replacement of the brush. Put together all the details. Gently sand the irregularities and burrs, each element should be smooth and comfortable to work.
    

By following these instructions, you can assemble a sturdy construction.The main thing is not to make a mess with the drawings and markings, otherwise it will not be possible to avoid the formation of backlash.

Remember that wooden elements tend to shrink. Use for the manufacture of only high-quality, processed parts. Choose boards without external and internal defects.
