Homemade drilling machine from a drill with your own hands. Do-it-yourself universal drill stand Drill stand made from scrap materials

Firmly fixed on the stand hand drill allows you to drill a perfectly straight hole in the workpiece at any angle. You can buy a Chinese machine for 1.3 thousand rubles. For craftsmen who are accustomed to doing everything with their own hands, this option is not suitable. Moreover, cheap racks have a lot of play.

Before you figure out how to make a stand for a drill with your own hands, you need to know the structure of the structure. The machine consists of the following components:

• The basis of a homemade machine is the bed. The part is a platform on which the stand is fixed.
• The carriage acts as a holder for a hand drill. The unit is fixed on the stand and moves along it using a mechanism made of furniture guides.
• The handle is necessary to control the operation of the mechanism. The handle lowers the carriage with the drill along the stand while drilling and returns it up to its original position.
• Additional components allow you to expand the functionality of the machine. It becomes possible to drill under different angles and milling of small parts.

Collect drilling machine You can make it from wood, metal, or use the frame from an old photographic enlarger. In any case, you need to learn important requirement: The more powerful the hand drill, the stronger the stand needed.

Making a wooden machine: instructions with step-by-step photos

The easiest machine to manufacture is considered to be made of wood. The disadvantage of the design is the weak strength of the material. Wood becomes deformed due to changes in humidity. Over time, play appears on the rack. Wooden machine It is advisable to use only for vertical drilling of holes.

Assembly order wooden structure next:

• The carriage is made from a board. The length of the workpiece varies from 50 to 70 cm, but usually the dimensions are selected to match the drill model. On the back side of the carriage and the front side of the stand, telescopic furniture guides are fixed, serving as a movement mechanism.

• The drill can be secured to the front side of the carriage with clamps, which is not very reliable.

• The circle is cut out with a jigsaw. The socket is given ideal smoothness using a round file. The finished block is fixed to the carriage. A cut is made in the front and a screw clamp is installed.

The carriage with the block is installed on the rack, connecting with elements of furniture guides. All that remains is to make the control handle, but more on that later.

Making a steel machine: instructions with step-by-step photos

A metal machine consists of similar units, but they are more difficult to make due to the complexity of processing the material. The advantage of the design is its reliability and lack of play, which is ideal for installing additional components that expand the functionality of the machine.

The general structure of the metal machine is shown in the drawing, and the procedure for manufacturing the structure is as follows:

• For the frame you will need a steel plate 1 cm thick. The dimensions can be taken similar to those of the wooden model.

• The stand is welded from a square or round pipe cross section 32–40 mm. You can weld a sleeve of a larger diameter onto the plate, and insert a pipe into it and tighten it with a bolt.

• The carriage is made from a larger diameter pipe. It should fit freely onto the stand. A steel clamp for a drill is fixed to the carriage.

Now all that remains is to put all the units into one structure and try to secure the drill with clamps.

Manufacturing of control mechanism

The main working unit of a wooden and metal machine is the carriage movement mechanism. It consists of a control handle and a spring. The last element is necessary to return the carriage to its original position.

Depending on the location of the spring installation, two options for the return mechanism can be made:

• The first version of the mechanism involves installing a spring near the control handle. From the top to the end of the rack, two pieces are welded from one and the other edge metal plates. A hole is drilled in the first two plates. An axle is made from a bolt with a diameter of 10 mm, and the end of the handle is secured. A spring is placed between the other two plates. To prevent it from jumping off, pins are welded on the stand and handle. On the side of the handle at the point of fixation to the carriage pin, a longitudinal groove is cut, necessary for proper operation mechanism.

• The second version of the mechanism involves installing two springs at the bottom of the carriage. They are placed in guide grooves fixed at the ends of furniture telescopic elements. The control handle is fixed to the end of the rack in a similar way, only a spring is not installed under it.

The operating principle of any mechanism is simple. During drilling, the handle is pressed down, and the springs are compressed. The carriage with the drill is directed downwards. Upon completion of drilling, the handle is released. The expanding springs return the carriage upward to its original position.

Machine made from a photo enlarger

If you have an old photographic enlarger lying around at home, you can quickly convert it into a drilling machine. The design has a ready-made frame with a stand and even a control mechanism with a handle, but without springs. The drill will have to be raised and lowered by turning the original handle of the photo enlarger. To make a machine, it is enough to disconnect the tank where the lamp with lenses is installed, and instead attach a clamp for a drill.

Manufacturing of additional units

Modernization of the design will make it possible to obtain a multifunctional machine on which you can mill small parts and drill holes at an angle.

To mill a part, it must be moved to the side. To do this, additional horizontal rack. A vice is attached to it, moving on a carriage with furniture guides. The control handle can be made similar to a spring or a screw mechanism can be installed.

To drill holes at an angle of 30, 45 and 60°, an additional plate is installed. It is made rotary, for which holes are drilled along an arc. Fix the plate to the main stand of the machine, where it will rotate along the axis. A carriage with a feed mechanism is attached to the additional plate.

It does not always make sense or expediency to buy a factory-made drilling machine. You can make a vertical drilling machine from a drill with your own hands. To do this you will need a drill and materials to make a stand. Such equipment is recommended for use in home workshops or garages, when drilling is not the main operation or is performed quite rarely and the accuracy of the hole can be neglected.

To speed up the process, just buy a specialized stand for a drill at a tool store. The result is something like a vertical drilling machine. household level, in terms of drilling accuracy, it is not inferior to machines for home workshops.

The photo shows factory-made drill stands. They can be purchased at any online tool store at prices starting from $200.

The article is intended to give you ideas on how to make a drilling machine yourself from a drill, so we do not give a clear algorithm for its manufacture, because it is made from scrap materials: some craftsmen will have it, others will not. Therefore, we give basic ideas, and everyone will apply their own constructive solutions and make your own vertical homemade drilling machine.

If you are not looking for easy ways, then we will make a homemade stand. The stand can be made of wood or metal. Wood will be cheaper and easier to manufacture, but durability will suffer.

Metal ones are more complex, but have an incomparably longer service life and strength characteristics. The choice of stand material also depends on the workpieces being processed: when constantly drilling metal, it is better to make a metal one.

Machine assembly

Metal racks are assembled from corners for the carriage, square pipe 50x50 for the stand and 10x10 for the drill bracket, strip for the base and lugs. The base and bracket are welded, after which all elements are assembled and bolted together. It is recommended to make several brackets with different adapters (clamping rings) for different types drills. The carriage moves along the rod using a steel cable wound around the handle drum. To ensure that the carriage does not have any play and does not fall down under its own weight, it is drilled, threaded and a bolt (or several bolts) is tightened. This selects the backlash between the carriage and the stand of the future drilling machine. The handle for moving the carriage is made from rolled products with a diameter of 6 - 8 mm.

Having several brackets with different clamping rings allows you to flexibly select drills and process almost any material.

In future homemade equipment you can modernize and modify it, for example, mark or install a scale that will indicate the length of movement of the carriage. This helps when drilling blind holes.

There are several mounting methods:

• several clamps;
• on a metal bracket in the hole under the neck of the drill.

The easiest way to make a homemade drilling structure at home

A homemade drilling machine made from a drill will never replace a factory one and will always be inferior in build quality and drilling accuracy. The main advantage of homemade is low price, the ability to drill holes when the factory machine is not available for one reason or another.

Significantly expand functionality hand tools allows you to use a stand for a drill, which is quite easy to make with your own hands. Placing a drill on such a stand (it can also be made rotary) allows you to turn an ordinary hand tool into an effective one that can be successfully used to perform various technological operations.

Advantages and disadvantages of a homemade stand

A homemade drill stand has a number of advantages, the most significant of which include the following:

• manufacturing such a drilling machine costs much less than purchasing a serial model of such a device;
• You can make such a tripod for a drill from improvised materials, using components from old and unused equipment, which can always be found in any garage or home workshop;
• drawings of similar devices various designs and even video instructions for their manufacture are in the public domain, finding them will not be difficult;
• if desired, you can always create own design, which in its characteristics and ease of use will surpass all existing models.

The simplest factory rack made in China You can buy it very inexpensively (from 1,200 rubles), but its functionality and quality will not satisfy all craftsmen - too often there are complaints about significant play in budget models

But of course, self-production The device for securing the drill also has its disadvantages, which include the following:

• in order to produce some parts of such racks, the use of lathes, welding and other equipment is required, which naturally increases their cost;
• due to the fact that the structural elements of such drilling devices are not fitted very well, play often occurs in them, and this negatively affects the accuracy and quality of the processing performed with their help;
• a homemade drill stand is quite limited in its functionality, with its help, for example, you cannot make holes located at an angle.

Drill stand made of wood: option No. 1

Rack option with pretty detailed instructions on assembly in the format of a photo selection illustrating the stages of production. To create this model, you will need boards with a thickness of at least 20 mm, a small box with furniture guides and a threaded rod for the moving part of the stand, a couple of dozen short and a dozen long screws, wood glue plus a standard tool in such cases, such as a saw or clamp , screwdriver, drill and sandpaper for finishing.

Metal drill stand: option No. 2

If you don’t have time to study drawings and various options rack designs, we invite you to watch an informative video about creating a very functional mechanism that can satisfy the needs of most home craftsmen.

Main elements of the rack

A stand for a drill, which is not at all difficult to make with your own hands, allows you to use this hand tool to perform various technological operations. The functionality that such a drill machine has is limited only by the power of the hand tools used to equip it.

Diagram of one of the options for drilling stand design

If a homemade stand for a drill is made only in order to perform only drilling operations with its help, then its structural elements can be made from wooden blocks. If you are interested in a mobile drill stand, which is highly versatile, then you need to use structural elements made of steel for its manufacture. Such drill stands consist of the following structural parts:

• a supporting frame on which all the necessary elements of the machine are mounted;
• racks are a guide for the drill, on which it is fixed and moves together with the carriage in the vertical direction; This movement is controlled by a special handle and row additional elements;
• handles - an element that controls the vertical movement (feed) of the drill and the tool fixed in it;
• additional components designed to make the drill attachment more functional.

A homemade drill holder is an easy-to-install device, and equipping it with additional components allows you to turn such a drill holder into universal equipment with which you can perform various technological operations. Before you start making such a holder for a drill with your own hands, you need to understand its design features.

Device bed

The frame for the drilling device from the drill is made of metal (10 mm thick) or wooden (more than 20 mm thick) sheet. The massiveness of the bed that you will use as a base directly depends on the power of the drill used. The dimensions of the frame for a drill machine depend on the specifics of the work performed on such equipment. You can use the following recommendations for choosing frame dimensions:

• machines for performing vertical drilling - 500x500 mm;
• equipment for performing various technological operations - 1000x500 mm.

A frame made of metal or wooden sheet, represents a very simple design. A stand is placed vertically on it, the stable position of which is ensured by a special support. Such structural elements can be secured to each other using screw connections.

Equipment rack

The stand where the guides for the drill will be located can also be made of metal or wooden slab. In addition to guides for moving the drill in vertical plane, a clamp is mounted on the stand, with which the tool is fixed to it. The procedure for assembling the rack can be seen in the training video, and you must adhere to the following sequence of actions:

• a support is fixed on the stand-frame;
• the machine stand is secured to the base using screw connections, which is then connected to the support;
• guides are fixed on the rack, which can be used as telescopic furniture devices;
• a carriage is mounted on the moving part of the guides, where a fastener is placed for fixing the drill.

When choosing guides for your homemade machine, you should pay attention to ensuring that there is no lateral play in them.

The length of the carriage, also made of metal or wood, depends on the size of the drill that you will use to equip your machine. The structural unit, which is equipped with a mobile drill stand, can be made in the following two versions.

With the drill secured using clamps. Used in this design diagram The clamps are threaded into holes pre-drilled in the carriage. Clamping of the drill and its reliable fixation on the carriage is ensured by tightening the clamps.

Below in the video you can see the details of making this version of the drill stand. The author talks in detail about the process of creating his homemade drilling equipment.

A special block is used to attach the drill. This block is a bracket where the drill is secured. The bracket is made from a wooden plate, which is attached to the carriage at an angle of 90 degrees, for which metal corners are used. To fix the drill, a hole is drilled in the block, the diameter of which is 0.5 mm smaller than the diameter of the tool itself, and a slot is made to allow the tool to be inserted into the mounting hole.

The hole in the block on the machine, intended for installing a drill, is made according to the following algorithm:

• a circle is drawn on the surface of the block, the diameter of which corresponds to the diameter of the drill being installed;
• in the inner part of the circle, trying to adhere to the line that limits it, drill a series of holes of small diameter;
• partitions that have formed between drilled holes, cut using a hacksaw or any other tool;
• using a file or needle file with a semicircular shape work surface, the edges of the resulting hole for the drill are processed, making them smooth.

Mechanism for moving the drill in the vertical direction

A homemade drilling machine must be equipped with a mechanism that will ensure the movement of the drill in the vertical direction. Structural elements of such a node are:

• a handle with which the carriage with a drill attached to it is brought to the surface of the workpiece;
• a spring necessary to return the carriage with the drill to its original position.

You can make such a mechanism using two design schemes:

• the spring is connected directly to the handle of the machine;
• the springs are located at the bottom of the carriage - in special grooves.

According to the first option, the design is carried out according to the following scheme:

• two metal plates are fixed on the machine stand using screws, between which an axis is installed, where the installation handle will be placed;
• on the other side of the rack, plates and an axis are also installed, on which one end of the spring is fixed, and its second end is connected to the handle;
• the pin with which the handle is connected to the installation carriage is placed in a longitudinal groove made in it.

If the springs are located at the bottom of the return mechanism, then the handle of the device is also fixed using two plates and an axis that ensures its movement. With this design, the springs are located in the lower part of the guide grooves, which are modified using metal corners that limit their movement.

The principle of operation of a drilling machine, in which the springs are located at the bottom of the carriage, is quite simple: moving down during the drilling process, the carriage with the drill attached to it presses on the springs, compressing them; after the mechanical impact on the springs stops, they unclench, lifting the carriage and drill to their original position.

Additional equipment for a homemade machine

Equipping a drill machine with additional attachments will allow you to use it for drilling holes at an angle, as well as for performing simple turning and milling technological operations.

To perform milling work on such equipment, it is necessary to ensure the movement of the workpiece in the horizontal direction. For this purpose, the design of the machine uses a movable horizontal table, equipped with a vice for fixing the workpiece. The best option the drive of such a table is helical gear, driven by a handle.

Using a homemade drilling machine that uses a hand drill as the working head, you can drill holes at an angle if you equip it with a rotating plate with holes arranged in an arc. On such a plate, which can rotate on an axis fixed to the machine stand, the machine carriage and the drill itself are located. The holes on the rotating plate, which help fix the position of the working head, are made at the most common angles: 30, 45 and 60 degrees. The manufacturing procedure for such a mechanism is as follows:

• in the machine stand and the rotating plate on which the carriage will be mounted and the drill secured, a central hole for the axis is drilled;
• then, using a protractor, mark the axes of the holes located at the most common angles on the rotary plate and drill them;
• using the axial holes on the stand and the rotary plate, combine these two elements and fix them with bolted connection;
• Three holes are drilled on the machine stand, which will be used to fix the rotary plate in the required position using pins.

Algorithm for working on homemade machine, equipped with such a rotating plate, is quite simple: it is simply rotated to the required angle together with the drill attached to it and fixed with three pins connecting the rotating and fixed parts of the stand.

Often, when working in a carpentry workshop, static drilling is required various holes and grooves. Such work is carried out much easier if you have a drilling machine or other bulky equipment. Making a stand for a drill with your own hands. It is a device that provides the ability to drill various materials, like on a drilling machine. With its help, you can make multiple holes at one angle, which is problematic to do manually.

Pros and cons of a homemade machine

Despite its compactness, a homemade stand still takes up a lot of space, which is always lacking in a workshop or garage. Therefore, the masters have a question: is it worth making such a device? Here you need to remember the advantages of such a device:

For ordinary use, today you can purchase a ready-made factory model. The price for such products starts from 1000 rubles. However, the functionality of such devices is not wide. With active use, there is a strong play in the fixing part.

Like anyone else homemade device, a hand-assembled rack has its drawbacks:

However, you need to assemble a machine for small-scale use or you have complex equipment - then the disadvantages will not seem significant.

Wooden model

The easiest way to assemble a drill holder is from wood. To assemble such a device, solid wood boards with a thickness of 20 mm or more are used. This material is more resistant to vibrations. Self-tapping screws are used as fasteners.

For the moving part of the machine you will need a threaded rod. The easiest way is to buy a similar product in a store. To make it yourself you will need lathe.

Before assembling the machine wooden parts make holes. Round - at the bottom of the tesk and rectangular at the top. For assembly, wood glue is used, after which the parts are fastened with self-tapping screws. To make the machine more convenient to use, all parts are sanded after assembly, also removing particles of dried glue.

Metal stand

A much more load-resistant material is metal. There are a lot of steel racks that differ not only in design, but also components. More convenient option studying the instructions for assembling such a rack - video:

Rack design

The stand for a drill with your own hands is highly functional. It allows you to perform a lot of turning and carpentry operations. The functionality of the machine is limited only by the power of the drill itself.

If the product will be used exclusively for drilling, it will be quite suitable wooden frame. If you want to make a universal portable device, then it is better to use metal. Components of a regular rack:

Thanks to additional components, you can make an almost full-fledged lathe from a drill. The rack allows you to perform complex technological operations. However, before assembling the device, it is necessary to become familiar with the operation and specifics of all parts of the structure.

bed

The bed is the base of the structure on which the material for the holes is placed. For its manufacture, steel sheets from 10 mm thick or boards 20 mm thick are used.

Important! The more powerful the drill, the more massive the frame should be. Also, during its manufacture, the dimensions of the material with which the stand will come into contact are taken into account.

If you are not sure what you will use the device for, check out the bed size recommendations:

• on machines for making vertical holes - 500×500 mm;
• on devices for a wide range of operations (horizontal and corner holes, etc.) - 1000×500 mm.

To assemble a metal frame you need welding machine. A frame made of this material is a plate with corners welded to it for stability.

Welded or screwed to the frame vertical stand. To make it more stable, it is equipped with a corner spacer.

Machine stand

In addition to the guides, a clamp is mounted on the stand. It allows you to fix the tool. Correct fastening racks to the frame occurs as follows:

• a support is welded or drilled to the frame;
• the stand is attached to the base with a screw fastening, connecting it to the support;
• guides made of bars or telescopic furniture fasteners are mounted to the rack;
• a carriage is attached to the movable element of the guides, on which fasteners are placed for fixing the drill.

The best option for a rack is profile pipes.

Note! When choosing guides for the machine, make sure that there is no lateral play in them.

The length of the carriage is calculated based on the size of the drill that will be used in the work. This element can be made using clamps. To do this, holes are drilled in the carriage into which clamps are inserted. The degree of fixation of the drill depends on the level of the clamps.

The drill holder is a bracket that secures the tool. To create it, use a plate installed perpendicularly to the carriage. Bolts and metal corners are used as fasteners. To attach the drill to the block, a round hole is made in it half a centimeter smaller than the diameter of the tool and a slot. Using such a system, the tool can be fixed in the mounting hole.

Device for vertical movement of a drill in a machine

Full functionality of the machine is provided by a vertical handle that guides the drill. This device consists of a handle, which is the movable part of the device, and a spring, which returns the carriage to its initial position.

There are two types of spring mounting in the machine. The first is attaching the spring to the vertical handle. And the second is the installation of the spring in the grooves of the bottom of the carriage.

Fastening the spring using the first method includes the following steps:

• Two steel plates are attached to the rack with screws, between which the axle is mounted. The handle of the structure will be located here.
• On back side the racks secure an identical axle, fixing one end of the spring on it, the other end is attached to the handle.
• A pin is attached to the longitudinal groove of the carriage, with which the handle will be connected to the carriage.

On a device with a lower spring arrangement, the handle is secured using an axle and plates. The devices provide the handle with movement. Springs in this design are attached to the bottom of the guide grooves. They can be modified by inserting corners into the holes, which will limit movement to the desired level.

A device with springs in the lower part works as follows: when drilling, the carriage goes down along with the drill and compresses the springs; when the tension passes through the springs, they straighten out and return the drill with the carriage to the initial position.

The device assembled in this way will allow you to perform minimum set technological work. The machine can be modified by adding a rotary plate and other accessories.

The advantages of the device are as follows:

1. Cheap - costs an order of magnitude or two less than industrial price (from the store).
2. Availability of parts - everything can be used in the design, from a small block to parts from old machines and cars.
3. A variety of designs in popular publications and on the World Wide Web.
4. The opportunity for creativity is to create your own reliable multifunctional drill machine that will surpass all published models.

Disadvantages of devices:

1. When assembling many published models, parts made on machines or components of old units (machines) are required. This increases the cost of production.
2. Backlash of parts due to loose installation and fit.
3. A drill tripod does not allow you to perform a number of other jobs (for example, drilling at an angle, etc.).

Universal machine stand

This device is designed to perform various kinds drilling, turning and other specialized work that the motor and gearbox of the drill can handle. If the tool is powerful, then it can handle all types of work.

The presented device, if it is intended only for drilling, is made (its main parts) of wood. In the case of making a universal rack, make it from iron or steel plates. The device consists of the following main components:

1. Bed - serves as the main supporting element the entire machine.
2. Stand – designed to secure a carriage with a drill and allows you to move it using a handle and additional elements.
3. Handle – serves to move the carriage along the longitudinal axis of the stand, which ensures the supply of the rotating tool to the part.
4. Additional components are designed to expand the capabilities of the rack and give it new qualities.

This machine is perhaps the easiest to install and set up, and additional components allow you to turn it into universal device, which will appeal to many DIYers. Let's look at the main parts of the machine.

DIY drill stand

This node represents a plate of 10 mm (or more) metal or 20 mm (or more)

tree. The greater the power of the tool (drill), the more massive the base should be. The dimensions of the bed depend on the work performed and can vary:

• for vertical drilling – 500x500 mm;
• for other works – 1000x500 mm.

But these dimensions are not final and can be changed to suit your needs.

The cheapest and easiest to replicate frame is cut from a 20-40 mm piece of wood or made from 10-20 mm steel. The main post is fixed to it (positioned vertically) and a support made of segments of the same thickness. Both parts are screwed with screws or screws to each other and from below (through the frame).

Advice: For reliability, the stand and support should be connected to each other using metal corners.

Drill stand for drill

It is made of 20-40 mm boards or 10-20 mm steel plates. Its length is 50-75 cm and depends on the size of the drill used, and its width is 20 cm. A mechanism for moving the drill along the longitudinal axis with a device for securing the drill is mounted on the stand.

The procedure for assembling the rack is as follows:

• a support is strengthened on the frame;
• a vertical stand is screwed to the base, which is then screwed to the support;
• on the vertical, the bases of two guides (telescopic furniture), for example from a table, are strengthened;
• Next, a carriage with a device for securing the drill is screwed to the movable part of the guides.

Advice: When choosing guides, check that there is no lateral play.

The length of the carriage also depends on the dimensions of the drill and is 50-100 cm. It is made of a board or plate of steel of the same thickness and width as the stand. The carriage can be made in two versions:

№ 1. The drill is secured with clamps.

The figure shows the fastening of a conventional electric. drills. The board is drilled, clamps are threaded into the holes. The clamps are tightened using a suitable screwdriver.

№ 2. The drill is mounted on a special block.

The block is a plate screwed perpendicular to the axis of the carriage and reinforced with metal corners. A hole is drilled in the block 0.5 mm smaller than the diameter of the “front” of the drill and a slot is made to securely fix the tool.

The hole is drilled with a special nozzle (cylindrical) or as follows:

• measure the diameter of the tool and draw a circle;
• a series of holes are drilled inside the circle (closer to the line);
• use a file, knife or file to cut through the remaining partitions;
• Use a semicircular or round file to level the circle, bringing it to the required caliber.

Movement mechanism

The main elements of this node:

• Handle – used to move the drill towards the workpiece.
• Spring – designed to return the carriage to its original state.

The movement mechanism can be made in two versions:

1. The spring is located directly at the handle.
2. Two springs are located below - in the grooves of the carriage guides.

• 2 metal plates are screwed to the main stand at one edge, between which an axis for the handle is inserted (you can use an M8-M12 screw).
• On the other edge there are also screwed plates, between which a spring is installed. To limit the possibility of it jumping to the side, there are pins, one of which is installed on the stand, and the second on the handle, which moves between the plates.
• The handle has a longitudinal groove for normal operation mechanism.
• The carriage has a pin or axle attached to it to provide vertical movement.

2 Option 2.

And in this case, side plates and the central pin of the handle are used, but the springs are located in the grooves of the furniture guides, which are slightly modified. Ordinary metal corners are inserted and screwed into the grooves to prevent the springs from slipping deep into the guides.

The operation of the mechanism is simple. When you press the handle (lever), the carriage with the drill moves down, ensuring drilling of the part. During the working stroke of the carriage, the springs are compressed, storing energy. When the lever is released, the spring energy is directed back and the carriage moves vertically upward.

Additional nodes

By modifying the stand with a simple assembly, you will be able to drill holes at an angle and perform simple turning and milling work on wood.

Milling work

To perform small milling work, it is necessary that the part moves horizontally. To ensure the supply, a second identical stand is used, which is mounted horizontally on the frame. Only instead of a drill, a vice should be attached to it.

The distance from the edge of the part to the groove being cut is limited by the distance from the drill to the vertical guides. For horizontal feed, you can use a lever (using a handle) system, but to avoid difficulties, find the machine table feed mechanism (screw).

Angled hole drilling and turning work

To perform these operations, it is necessary to supplement the rack with a rotating mechanism, which represents an additional plate (AP) with holes located in an arc. All parts of the feed mechanism and the carriage are placed on this additional plate, which rotates on an axis mounted on the main stand.

The main angles of inclined holes are 30°, 45°, 60°. Swivel mechanism you can do this:

• first, a hole for the axle is drilled on the stand and in the rotating plate;
• then, measuring the angles with a protractor or some other measuring device, drill holes in a circle on the DP;
• then align the axial holes of both plates and secure them with a screw;
• after that, 3 holes are drilled through the DP on the rack, as shown in the figure.

The additional plate is turned to the desired angle and fixed on the back side of the rack with three pins or screws with nuts (the latter is preferable).

Turning work is carried out by turning the additional plate horizontally. Due to the small size of the drill chuck - parts large caliber you can't work on it.
