Vertical drilling stand. Beds for drilling rigs (stands). What to look for when choosing a diamond drilling rig

The most common drilling machine can be considered one that is made from an ordinary or electric drill. In such a machine, a drill can be placed both stationary and made removable. In the first case, the power button can be transferred to the drilling machine for greater convenience, in the second, the drill can be removed and used as a separate tool.

Components for homemade drilling machine:

• Drill;
• Base;
• Rack;
• Drill mount;
• feed mechanism.

The base (frame) for a homemade drilling machine can be made from solid wood, chipboard or furniture board, but it is still better to use a channel, a metal plate or a brand. To ensure the stability of the structure and obtain a good result, the frame must be made massive so that it can compensate for the vibration from drilling. The size for wooden satin is 600x600x30 mm, for metal - 500x500x15 mm. Mounting holes must be present on the base of the machine so that it can be fixed on a workbench.

The stand for the drilling machine can be made of timber, round or square steel pipe. You can also use an old frame of a photographic enlarger, an old school microscope or other device of a similar configuration with a large mass and high strength.

The drill is attached with clamps or brackets. It is better to use a bracket with a center hole, this will allow you to achieve better results when drilling.

The device of the feed mechanism of the drill on the machine.

Through this mechanism the drill can move vertically along the rack, it can be:

• spring;
• Hinged;
• Similar to a screw jack.

Depending on the chosen mechanism, you will need to make a rack.

The steering rack from the car is a fairly massive device, so the bed under it must be massive and attached to the workbench. All connections on such a machine are made by welding.

The thickness of the base should be about 5 mm, it can be welded from channels. The drain on which the steering rack is attached should be 7-8 cm higher. It is attached through the eyelets of the steering column.

Since such a home-made machine becomes massive, it is better to take out the control unit separately from the drill.

The assembly procedure for such a homemade machine:

• Preparation of details;
• Installing the rack on the frame;
• Assembly of the movement device;
• Installing the device on the rack;
• Drill installation.

All connections must be securely fastened, preferably by welding. If guides are used, then you need to make sure that there is no lateral play. For greater convenience, such a machine can be equipped with a vice for fixing the workpiece for drilling.

In stores, you can also find ready-made stands for a drill. When buying, pay attention to the dimensions of its frame and weight. Often inexpensive designs are only suitable for drilling thin plywood.

The process of creating a drilling machine from a drill.
And so, first of all, the author makes the base of the machine from sheet metal 3 mm, cuts the workpiece with a grinder (angle grinder) A in lower part welds 2 corners and 4 legs from a steel bar or reinforcement. The length of the legs should be the same so that there is no skew of the bed.

Welded corners and legs.

Making a slider! 2 corners are taken and applied to a square-section professional pipe that will serve as a lifting column and pulled together with a clamp.

At the edges, it is seized by welding in order to simply bait for now, and only then specifically boil a normal seam.

This is how the preparation turned out.

The lifting column is made of a professional square pipe 500 mm long.

A bracket with a movable shaft is welded onto the body of the slider, on which the turns of the cable will be made.

A thread is cut into the drilled hole.

Handles of the lifting mechanism are made of fittings.

On the shaft there is such a head, which will be the basis for the handles.

And so, 3 handles are welded for the convenience of raising and lowering the drill through the mechanism.

Installed on a lifting column.

At the end of the cable, such a loop is made.

I hope the principle of lifting is clear and without explanation)

A square pipe is welded onto the corner.

Here is actually such a mount for an electric drill turned out.

Then a drill is installed and secured with a clamp of bolts and nuts.

Now let's go back to the lifting mechanism.

A nut is welded into the upper part of the lifting column and a bolt is screwed into it, a cable is fixed to the bolt itself, and when the bolt is tightened and unscrewed, the cable is tensioned to the optimum norm.

It is advisable to pre-lubricate the moving parts with grease or lithol.

These small vices can be purchased at the hardware store in the tools section.

All parts were sanded by the master with sandpaper, and then painted.

Significantly expand functionality hand tool allows a stand for a drill, which is not difficult to make with your own hands. Placing a drill on such a stand (it can also be turned) 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 rack

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

• the manufacture of such a drilling machine is much cheaper than the purchase of a serial model of such a device;
• you can make such a tripod for a drill from improvised means, using components from old and unused equipment, which you can always find in any garage or home workshop;
• drawings of similar devices various designs and even video instructions for their manufacture are in the public domain, it will not be difficult to find them;
• if you wish, you can always create your own design, which in terms of its characteristics and ease of use will surpass all available models.

The simplest factory rack Chinese made you can buy it very inexpensively (from 1200 rubles), but its functionality and quality will not satisfy all masters - too often there are complaints about a significant backlash in budget models

But of course, independent production Devices for fixing a drill also have their drawbacks, which include the following:

• in order to manufacture 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;
• homemade rack for a drill is quite limited in its functionality, with its help, for example, it is impossible to make holes located at an angle.

Wooden drill stand: option number 1

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

Metal drill stand: option number 2

If there is no time to study the drawings and various options rack designs, we invite you to watch an informative video on creating a very functional mechanism that can satisfy the needs of most home craftsmen.

The main elements of the rack

A stand for a drill, which is not 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 tool used to equip it.

Scheme of one of the variants of the drilling stand device

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

• carrier frame, on which all the necessary elements of the machine are attached;
• racks - this is a guide for the drill, on which it is fixed and moves along with the carriage in the vertical direction; controls such a movement a special handle and a row additional elements;
• handles - an element that controls the vertical movement (feed) of the drill and the tool fixed in it;
• additional nodes designed to make the attachment for the drill more functional.

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

Device frame

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

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

A bed made of a metal or wooden sheet is a very simple design. A rack is placed vertically on it, the stable position of which is provided by a special support. It is possible to fix such structural elements among themselves with the help of screw connections.

equipment rack

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

• a support is fixed on the stand-frame;
• on the base, with the help of screw connections, the machine stand is fixed, which is then connected to the support;
• rails are fixed on the rack, which can be used as telescopic furniture devices;
• a carriage is mounted on the movable part of the guides, where a mount is placed to fix the drill.

When choosing guides for your homemade machine, you should pay attention to the fact 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. This structural unit, which is equipped with a mobile drilling stand, can be made in the following two versions.

With fixing the drill with clamps. Used in this constructive scheme clamps are threaded into holes pre-drilled in the carriage. The clamp 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 the manufacture of this version of the stand for the drill. The author talks in detail about the process of creating his homemade drilling equipment.

A special block is used to fasten the drill. Such a block is a bracket where the drill is fixed. A bracket is made of 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 in the block, a hole is drilled, the diameter of which is 0.5 mm less 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 pad, 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;
• barriers that have formed between drilled holes, cut with a hacksaw or any other tool;
• using a file or needle file with a semicircular shape working surface, the edges of the resulting hole for the drill are processed, making them even.

The mechanism for moving the drill in the vertical direction

A self-made drilling machine must be equipped with a mechanism that will ensure the movement of the drill in the vertical direction. The 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;
• the spring needed 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;
• springs are located at the bottom of the carriage - in special grooves.

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

• on the machine stand with screws fix two metal plates, between which the axis is installed, where the installation handle will be placed;
• plates and an axis are also installed on the other side of the rack, on which one end of the spring is fixed, and its second end is connected to the handle;
• the pin, through 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 with two plates and an axis that ensures its movement. Springs with such a design scheme are located in the lower part of the grooves of the guides, which are being finalized using metal corners that restrict their movement.

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

Additional equipment for a homemade machine

Equipping the machine from a drill with additional attachments will allow it to be used 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 vise for fixing the workpiece. The best option the drive of such a table is a screw gear driven by a handle.

With the help of a home-made drilling machine, in which it is used as a working head hand drill, you can drill holes at an angle if you equip it with a rotary plate with holes arranged in an arc. On such a plate, which can rotate on an axis fixed on the machine stand, the machine carriage and the drill itself are located. The holes on the turntable, which help to fix the position of the working head, are made at the most common angles: 30, 45 and 60 degrees. The order of manufacture of such a mechanism is as follows:

• in the machine stand and the rotary plate, on which the carriage will be mounted and the drill is fixed, a central hole for the axis is drilled;
• then, using a protractor, on the rotary plate, mark the axes of the holes located at the most common angles, and drill them;
• using the axial holes on the rack and the turntable, 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 turntable in the desired position with pins.

The algorithm for working on a home-made machine equipped with such a rotary plate is quite simple: it is simply rotated to the required angle along with a drill fixed to it and fixed with three pins connecting the rotary and fixed part of the rack.

When performing carpentry and plumbing work, an appropriate tool is usually used, designed to perform specific tasks. However, there are situations when it is much more convenient and easier to use special machines. They allow you to optimize the process and save time in the same type of work. Therefore, questions about how to make a drilling machine from a drill very often arise among modern masters.

Necessity or luxury

First of all, it is worth saying that it is very convenient to use such a device when making holes in small horizontal planes. It almost completely eliminates the drill backlash, which necessarily occurs when handmade. Even a small drill from a drill significantly increases the accuracy of the hole made, while minimizing the error. Also, such equipment saves a lot of time and effort if frequent use or monotonous work is necessary.

Almost all enterprises that carry out locksmith work are equipped with such units. The fact is that studies conducted in the field of labor protection have shown an increase in productivity and quality improvement when using them. Some of them even purchase a magnetic sole drilling machine in order to optimize production on large planes without the use of expensive equipment.

Why drill?

Currently, there are many designs for creating such equipment at home. However, most experts recommend making a drilling machine from a drill. This is due to the fact that this tool already fully contains all the necessary components and assemblies, and they do not have to be purchased separately. In this case, the fixation on the structure is carried out so that it is easy to remove the drill for independent work. As a result, we do not lose a tool that can be used independently.

materials

In order to create a drilling machine from it is necessary to purchase the tool itself. It is selected in accordance with the parameters that the finished device will have to have. At the same time, experts advise paying attention to products that have their own small backlash. Otherwise, the expediency of using it for work is called into question. You may also need:

• Guides. They use systems used in furniture production, or metal strips.
• Bed. Most often it is made of a metal plate or wooden box, on which magnets or ballast are attached for weighting.
• Fasteners. When they make a drilling machine from a drill with their own hands, they immediately select couplings or clamps that are suitable for fixing a particular tool.
• wood or metal constructions- depending on what material is to be processed.
• The spring required to implement the reverse stroke.
• If a drilling machine is created, then the magnets themselves will be needed.

Tool

In this case, the selection of the tool used depends on the material for creating the frame. However, it is immediately worth noting that a corner for measuring the connection of elements at 90 degrees will be needed in any case. Even a mini-drilling machine requires great precision in its manufacture, since this will subsequently affect the quality of the holes made.

Drawing

First of all, you need to decide on the designs of the final product and the material for its manufacture. However, there is no need to come up with too complex technical solutions or expensive nodes. Type drawing drilling machine from a drill is quite simple. It involves the creation of a strong and stable frame, on which a vertical tripod with a movable carriage is mounted. Considering this, Special attention it is worth paying attention to the implementation of moving the drill in a vertical plane, although the use of ready-made guides greatly simplifies this process. If you use a microscope stand, photographic enlarger or press as a frame, then the drawing will be based on their base, and the entire manufacturing process is greatly simplified.

Bed and tripod

Even a mini drill press needs a stable base. It not only must hold the entire structure, but can be equipped various elements for fixing tools or other devices. Thinking through the device of a drilling machine, it is worth listening to the advice of experts. Many craftsmen recommend creating these devices from wood. Therefore, for the bed use wooden frame in the form of a small box. It has seats for installing a vice or other structures. If the product is planned to be used on large surfaces, then the bed is made of a solid plate with a drill hole. So you can implement the principle of drilling through.

Almost any device of a drilling machine involves the installation of a vertical tripod at an angle of 90 degrees to the bed. Therefore, it is very important to use an accurate one in your work. You also need to securely fix the tripod using additional mounts in the form of corners.

If the work is supposed to be at a certain angle, then certain devices can be made in advance that will be mounted on the frame. Most often in such cases, ready-made ball vices with adjustable angle tilt.

Creating a movement mechanism

When a homemade drilling machine is made from a drill, special attention must be paid to this stage. The fact is that the vertical stroke should be soft, without distortions, play or displacements. Given this, professional craftsmen recommend using ready-made guides in their work, which can be taken from other devices. You can also use systems made for pulling out drawers for cabinet furniture. They are quite reliable and can withstand heavy loads.

Installation of guides is carried out directly on a tripod or special strips attached to it. In this work, it is very important to use a measuring tool, since these elements must also be placed at an angle of 90 degrees with respect to the frame and parallel to each other. Even small distortions or displacements should not be allowed.

The second part of the guides is fixed on a special carriage, where the drill itself will be installed. It is made of wood and adjusted to the dimensions of the original instrument. Also, a small handle is attached to the carriage, with which the operator will control the movement process.

To implement the return movement and facilitate the control of the carriage stroke, a spring is installed on the machine. One of its ends is fixed at the top of the tripod, and the other is mounted on a movable mechanism. At the same time, the level of its tension is immediately checked, which, if necessary, can be changed by cutting the turns or stretching them. However, this setting is best done under load, which means that it is performed only after fixing on the drill carriage. Some masters recommend making the spring removable, it could be removed after work. So it will not stretch and weaken.

Drill fixation

Usually instructions telling how to make a drilling machine from a drill recommend creating special fastening systems, which in the end are very difficult to work with. However, if the tool is chosen correctly, then it can be fixed using conventional plumbing clamps used when creating a hose-to-pipe connection. In this case, it will be necessary to make certain changes to the shape of the carriage or even slightly correct the body of the drill.

It is very important that the tool is held tightly and moves in the clamp. Therefore, even at the stage of manufacturing the carriage, they practically do not leave him free space, limiting from all sides structurally. In fact, the carriage itself is a kind of bed for a drill, in which it will sit very tightly. Additional elements are needed only for the reliability of fixation. This approach greatly simplifies the design and allows you to quickly remove the tool if necessary.

Conclusion

Considering the material presented above, we can conclude that a drilling machine from a drill can be made independently and without large financial costs. At the same time, the final product will be maximally adapted to the performance of specific technical tasks and will be able to satisfy the relevant requests of the end user. However, it is worth considering the fact that factory designs usually have a smaller error and are able to perform accurate work with a minimum tolerance. Therefore, such devices are usually suitable for private use or in small workshops where high precision holes are not required.

For household chores, the functions of a drill may be sufficient, but more precise equipment may be needed to improve the quality and productivity of work. One of the most popular varieties is a do-it-yourself mini-drilling machine.

Drilling machine components

The first stage before production is to study the design. To do this, it is recommended to take a drawing of a standard machine and familiarize yourself with its components. Important to understand general principle functioning and in the future to determine the optimal scheme of a self-made design.

Main functional purpose is to form holes various types. Depending on the configuration of the equipment, there may be drawings of vertical drilling, jig boring, radial drilling, filler models. The difference between them lies in the possibility of changing the direction of action cutting tool. For household needs most often a vertical drilling mini-machine is made by hand.

Structurally, it should consist of the following elements:

• bed. The supporting part on which the vertical rack is attached;
• rack. Designed for installation of electrical equipment;
• electrical components. They include an electric motor and a mechanism for transmitting torque to the spindle.

Most often, for the production of a home-made drilling machine, do-it-yourself standard drawings are used, in which the electric motor is replaced with an electric drill. This allows you to reduce the complexity of the work. However, such designs are designed only for small loads.

Before independent production mini-machine should determine the type of work performed on wood and metal. This will depend on the characteristics of the equipment.

Homemade drilling machine from a drill

The most popular model currently is a mini drill machine. To make it at home, you only need to make a bed and a rack.

In some cases, it can be done without the use of homemade elements. To do this, you need a factory bed and a drill. It is not necessary to draw up drawings for this, however, such a design has one significant disadvantage— big backlash. During the execution of work, the cutting tool is shifted relative to the drilling site. This must be considered before making a drilling machine.

It is best to use standard drawings for the production of a homemade drilling machine with your own hands. The production technology directly depends on the selected components. But experts recommend sticking to the following rules when choosing source material, as well as its processing:

• for smooth raising and lowering, you can use the steering rack. Alternative option is an adaptation of the mechanical jack;
• the supporting table and the stand are made of steel channels and corners. It is important to ensure sufficient mass of the lower part of the structure for maximum stability of the machine during its operation;
• separate control unit. Turning the drill on and off will be inconvenient. Therefore, it is recommended to install a standard switch on the side of the mini drilling machine.

During the execution of work, it is necessary to ensure the maximum accuracy of pairing of structural elements. The angle between the support post and the table should be 90 degrees. For filler models minimum thickness metal base plate must be at least 3 mm.

To increase the functionality of the equipment, you can do. It provides the ability to move the workpiece relative to the cutting tool. This will achieve maximum processing accuracy.

Homemade high power machine

If it has unsatisfactory parameters, you can consider other drawings of a similar design. Their difference from the above model is the use of an electric motor as the main power plant.

Making such a design at home will be problematic, as it will take a lot of time and effort. The motor can be made from washing machine. The cartridge for attaching the cutting tool is not made by hand, it is taken from an old machine. Additionally, pulleys will be required to transmit torque.

In general, the technology remains the same. It is important to correctly calculate the optimal power of the electric motor, as well as provide for the possibility of changing the number of its revolutions. To do this, you can put a reducer.

As additional equipment you can make a vise at home. They will fix the parts to perform precise processing.
