DIY vertical drilling machine. Homemade drilling machine and other accessories made from a drill. An example of a drill machine in more detail

No need to spend money on a desktop drilling machine, because it’s not so difficult to do it yourself. To do this, you will need to purchase, manufacture or use used parts. We will tell you about creating several designs, and you can choose your model for assembly.

Almost every owner who is building or renovating his house or apartment, repairing household and garden equipment, various crafts made of metal and wood. But for some operations, a drill is not enough: you need special precision, you want to drill a hole at a right angle in a thick board, or you just want to make your work easier. To do this, you will need a machine that can be made on the basis of various drives, machine parts or household appliances, other available material.

The type of drive is a fundamental difference in the designs of homemade drilling machines. Some of them are made using a drill, mostly electric, others using motors, most often from unnecessary household appliances.

Tabletop drilling machine made from drill

The most common design can be considered a machine made from a hand or electric drill, which can be made removable, so that it can be used outside the machine, or stationary. In the latter case, the switching device can be moved to the frame for greater convenience.

Main elements of the machine

The main elements of the machine are:

• drill;
• base;
• rack;
• drill mount;
• feed mechanism.

The base or frame can be made from a solid cut hardwood, furniture board or chipboard. Some people prefer a metal plate, channel or tee as a base. The bed must be massive to ensure structural stability and compensate for vibrations during drilling to produce neat and accurate holes. The size of the frame made of wood is at least 600x600x30 mm, of sheet steel - 500x500x15 mm. For greater stability, the base can be made with eyes or holes for bolts and attached to the workbench.

The stand can be made of timber, round or square steel pipe. Some craftsmen use the frame of an old photographic enlarger, a substandard school microscope, and other parts that have a suitable configuration, strength and weight as a base and stand.

The drill is secured using clamps or brackets with a hole in the center. The bracket is more reliable and provides greater accuracy when drilling.

Design features of the drill feed mechanism

The feed mechanism is needed to move the drill vertically along the stand and can be:

• spring;
• articulated;
• screw jack type design.

Depending on the type of mechanism adopted, the type and structure of the rack will also differ.

The drawings and photos show the basic designs of tabletop drilling machines, which can be made from electric and hand drills.

Machine based on the steering rack of a passenger car

A steering rack for a car and a drill are quite massive products, so the frame should also be massive and, preferably, with the ability to attach the machine to a workbench. All elements are welded, since connections with bolts and screws may not be sufficient.

The frame and support post are welded from channels or other suitable rolled products, about 5 mm thick. The steering rack is secured to a stand, which should be 70-80 mm longer than the rack, through the eyes of the steering column.

To make the machine more convenient to use, the drill control is placed in a separate unit.

Assembly procedure for tabletop drilling machines:

• preparation of all elements;
• attaching the stand to the frame (check verticality!);
• assembly of the movement mechanism;
• fastening the mechanism to the rack;
• fastening the drill (check verticality!).

All fastenings must be made as securely as possible. It is advisable to join one-piece steel structures by welding. When using any kind of guides, you need to make sure that there is no lateral play during movement.

Advice! To fix the part in which the hole is drilled, the machine can be equipped with a vice.

You can also find ready-made stands for drills on sale. When purchasing, you need to pay attention to the weight of the structure and the size of the working surface. Lightweight (up to 3 kg) and inexpensive (up to 1.5 thousand rubles) racks are suitable for making holes in a thin plywood sheet.

Drilling machine using asynchronous motor

If there is no drill on the farm or it is not advisable to use it in the machine, you can make a design based on asynchronous motor, for example, from the old washing machine. The design and manufacturing process of such a machine are quite complex, so it is best to make it by a craftsman with sufficient experience in turning and milling work, and assembling electrical circuits.

Homemade machines for drilling printed circuit boards

Mini-machines for drilling circuit boards by radio amateurs also borrow the drive from various low-power devices. In this case, cutters for cutting photographs are used as levers, soldering irons, and collet pencils instead of a chuck. The drilling site is illuminated with LED flashlights—there are plenty of opportunities for technical creativity.

Drilling work is not particularly difficult and often does not require other equipment other than conventional drill. Therefore, home workshops may not have a drilling machine. However, if you have a home-made benchtop drilling machine, you can breathe a sigh of relief, as some of your worries will be resolved on their own.

Purpose of the drilling machine

Sometimes situations arise when an electric or hand drill is not able to provide the desired parameters of the hole being drilled. Often in amateur radio practice it is necessary to make printed circuit boards, where many holes must be drilled that have a small diameter. Drilling holes with a diameter of 0.5-1 millimeter with a hand or electric drill or a large drilling machine is inconvenient, and the drill may break.

Purchasing industrial drilling machines is not always economically feasible, and then you can make a homemade drilling machine. Many people choose mini drilling machines because, despite the apparent complexity of the design, they are actually very simple equipment and consist of four parts.

A homemade drilling machine is intended for drilling through and blind holes in solid material, for example, drilling, reaming, countersinking, cutting out sheet materials discs and internal thread cutting. Drilling and milling machines can perform milling, surface grinding, inclined face milling and horizontal milling.

To perform the above operations, a countersink, drill, tap, reamer and other tools are used. Applying special devices And additional tools, you can cut a hole with a large diameter, bore the hole and grind the hole accurately.

Types of drilling machines

Drilling machines are of the following types: single- and multi-spindle semi-automatic, vertical drilling, jig boring, radial drilling, horizontal boring, horizontal boring, diamond boring. Models are designated by numbers and letters. The first number indicates the group to which the machine is classified, the second - the type of machine, the third and fourth - the dimensions of the machine or the dimensions of the workpiece being processed.

The letter that appears after the first digit means that a certain model of drilling machine is modernized. If the letter is located at the end, then it should be understood that a different drilling machine was made based on the main model. Among all drilling machines, we can distinguish the following main types of universal machines: multi- and single-spindle, radial and horizontal drilling.

Depending on the area of ​​use, there are special and universal drilling equipment. Specialized machines for mass production and large-scale industry are also widely used, which are manufactured on the basis of universal machines by equipping them with multi-spindle thread-cutting and drilling heads and thanks to the automation of the work cycle.

Drilling machine design

A drilling machine, like other technological machines, consists of the following components: transmission mechanism, engine, controls and working element. The transmission mechanism is designed to transmit movement from an electric motor to a working element, which is a drill, which is mounted in a chuck mounted on a spindle - a rotating shaft.

Rotation to spindle from electric motor transmitted using a belt drive. By turning the handle, the chuck and drill bits can be lowered or raised using a rack and pinion drive.

On the front panel of the drilling machine there are buttons to turn the electric motor off and on. The design of the drilling machine is quite simple: the machine is turned on by pressing one of the outer buttons, depending on the desired direction of spindle rotation; the machine can be turned off by pressing the middle red button.

A vertical column screw is fixedly attached to the base of the machine. By turning the handle, you can move the spindle head up or down along the screw; the second handle serves to fix it in the required position. Control the depth of blind holes using the provided scale.

Depending on the workpiece material, it is necessary different speed drilling. To do this, it is customary to set a certain spindle rotation speed by transferring it to the pulleys various diameters drive belt. Factory shops use more complex drilling machine designs than those just discussed.

Operating principle of the machine

Before drilling using a homemade machine, you need to remove all unnecessary things from the workbench. The workpiece with the marked centers of the holes must be secured in a vice. Next, insert a drill of the required diameter into the chuck and secure it with a special key. To check the correctness of the work performed, the machine is turned on for a while.

If you have installed the drill correctly, its tip will not describe a circle when rotating. If it is installed skewed and its beating occurs, then the drilling machine must be turned off and the drill secured according to the instructions of the drilling machine. Then turn the feed handle, lower the drill and install the vice with the workpiece in such a way that the core coincides with the tip of the drill.

Turn on the machine and drill a hole, press the feed handle smoothly, without much effort or jerking. When drilling through hole place the workpiece on wooden beam ok, so that the drill doesn’t break and the machine table doesn’t get damaged.

When drilling a deep hole, remove the drill from the hole from time to time and cool it by dipping it in a bowl of coolant. It is recommended to reduce the pressure on the handle at the end of drilling. After drilling the hole, smoothly turn the feed wheel, raise the spindle to its highest position and turn off the machine.

Making a drilling machine

A drilling machine is easy to make with your own hands. In everyday life, it is beneficial to have on hand devices and tools for performing carpentry and plumbing work. After the obsolescence of many household appliances the owners still have a lot of useful spare parts and electric motors, from which you can, if desired, make such useful equipment as a drilling machine.

Drilling machine from a drill

The most simple solution You will be able to assemble a mini drilling machine with your own hands using a drill. The drill weighs a little, so the stand can be made from chipboard, boards or sheet metal. To work comfortably on such a homemade machine, it is necessary that it be quite massive to absorb the vibration of the drill and sufficiently stable.

It is important to obtain a right angle between the holder and the base. Typically, the drill is attached using two clamps (it is better to place a rubber gasket between the clamp and the drill) to a board that moves along guides that are attached to this movable board and to another stationary board. The downward and upward movement of the movable board is controlled using a lever associated with it.

The downward movement of the lever can be limited by a block that supports the lever in the lower position. The fixed board is attached to the horizontal pipe through a flange. The horizontal pipe is attached through a square to a vertical pipe, which is attached through a flange to the base of the machine (to a thick wide board) or to a workbench.

The height of the bar, which limits the lower position of the lever, is adjustable, which allows you to change the drilling depth. Make 4 holes in the movable board that are intended for fixing the drill clamps. On the side facing the stationary board, narrow slats are glued, which are lubricated with wax for better glide.

The drill, in addition to the clamps, is fixed with two rods that support it from below. Since with such fastening the shape of the drill does not strictly ensure vertical position drills, you need to glue a strip to the board to compensate for this.

To ensure free movement of the drill, the guides must be prepared strictly in the vertical direction. They can be metal profiles made of aluminum, which are screwed with threaded screws to the boards along the entire length. Having assembled a strong and stable structure, it is necessary to fasten the profile guides strictly perpendicular to the plane of the base and parallel to each other.

In the photo of self-made drilling machines, the attachment points to the moving platform of the drill and the installation method for the guide profiles are clearly visible. The guides must ensure high-quality pressing of the movable board to the stationary board. The main condition for this is the absence of distortions and backlash.

When assembling the lever, remember that you cannot tighten the moving parts; it is customary to use a second nut to lock the nuts. The rail that leads to the moving board from the lever should be rounded at the end. After reducing the pressure forces, to automatically raise the drill to the top position, it is necessary to set the springs to compression or tension.

One end of the spring is attached to the horizontal pipe with wire, and the other end is attached to the bottom of the movable board. When the spring is not flexible enough and a stationary board interferes, this is done through a rope.

Machine made from a washing machine motor

The drawing of a drilling machine, which is assembled on the basis of a motor from a washing machine, differs from the one discussed above in the most complex mechanics and type of electric drive. An asynchronous motor from an old washing machine is heavier and has more vibration. The shaking will be stronger the further away the engine is from the rack.

Intense vibration causes inaccurate drilling and drill breakage. There are two options - make a powerful frame so that when the drill is lowered, the drive also lowers, or place the motor motionless closer to the holder stand, then only the working part of the drilling machine will move.

The second method involves a more complex execution. Here you need a pulley and a belt that allow you to regulate the rotation speed. There are many solutions without a belt drive with a drive located against the wall. They are much easier to assemble, but the assembly discussed below is characterized by non-standard approach, and certain techniques used may be helpful.

Vibrations still remain, but they are so minimal that when drilling iron with a 0.7 mm drill, the drill remains intact. At home, one can only dream of high precision in the manufacture of such mechanisms; it is still necessary to strive for maximum fit of parts. The characteristics of the drilling machine and its performance will depend on this.

The moving part of the machine consists of an axial hexagon, a tube of suitable size, a clamping ring and two bearings and a tube with internal thread to secure the cartridge. A pulley is subsequently placed on the hexagon, part of the future transmission system. The tube must first be sawed lengthwise at both ends with a grinder, and make the cuts on top deep enough to ensure reliable adhesion to the hexagon.

The entrance must be made tight and driven in with a hammer. If donning occurs without special effort, then you need to select another handset. Then fill the compression ring and bearings. The height adjustment system consists of a pipe with notches and a gear. To make cuts accurately, you need to roll out the plasticine and drive a gear along it.

An imprint will appear that can be easily measured and appropriate markings made on the adjusting pipe. The length of this ladder should correspond to the maximum height to which the drill can be raised. Press the axle with hexagon and bearings into the slotted pipe.

Such a design will move back and forth vertically in a stationary frame tube as the gear rotates. Simultaneously carried out in horizontal plane rotation of the axis through a belt drive. The frame is made from a metal corner using bolts. The entire structure is mounted on the wall.

And finally, remember that the first option for assembling a drilling machine is preferable. The assembly option proposed by the second can be supplemented or improved. However, such a simplified solution deserves attention.

For housework, the functions of a drill may be sufficient, but to improve the quality and productivity of work, more precise equipment may be needed. One of the most popular varieties is a DIY 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. It's important to understand general principle functioning and further determine the optimal scheme of the homemade design.

Basics functional purpose consists of forming holes various types. Depending on the configuration of the equipment, there may be drawings of vertical drilling, jig boring, radial drilling, and filler models. The difference between them is the ability to change the direction of action cutting tool. For household needs Most often, a mini vertical drilling machine is made by hand.

Structurally, it should consist of the following elements:

• bed. The supporting part on which the vertical stand 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, to produce a homemade drilling machine with your own hands, they use standard drawings in which the electric motor is replaced with an electric drill. This allows you to reduce the labor intensity of work. However, such designs are designed only for small loads.

Before independent production mini-machine, you should decide on the type of wood and metal work to be performed. The characteristics of the equipment will depend on this.

Homemade drilling machine from a drill

The most popular model currently is a mini drilling machine made from a drill. To make it at home, you only need to make a frame and a stand.

In some cases, it can be done without the use of homemade elements. To do this you will need a factory stand and a drill. There is no need to draw up drawings for this, however, such a design has one significant drawback- big backlash. During work, the cutting tool shifts relative to the drilling site. This must be taken into account before making a drill press.

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

• You can use the steering rack to raise and lower smoothly. Alternative option is an adaptation of a mechanical jack;
• The support table and stand are made of steel channels and angles. It is important to ensure sufficient mass of the lower part of the structure for maximum stability of the machine during operation;
• separate control unit. Turning the drill on and off will be awkward. Therefore, it is recommended to install a standard switch on the side of the mini drilling machine.

During the execution of work, maximum accuracy of mating of structural elements should be ensured. The angle between the support post and the table should be 90 degrees. For filler models minimum thickness the 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 allow you to 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 model discussed above is the use of an electric motor as the main power plant.

Making such a design at home will be problematic, as it will require a lot of time and effort. An electric motor can be made from a washing machine. The chuck for attaching the cutting tool is not made with your own hands; it is taken from an old machine. Additionally, pulleys are 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 to provide for the possibility of changing its speed. To do this, you can install a gearbox.

As additional equipment You can make a vice at home. They will clamp the parts to perform precise machining.

The video shows the exact diagram and drawings for making a mini-drilling machine with your own hands:

Examples of drawings and finished machines

You can make a drilling machine with your own hands at home from an ordinary electric drill or steering rack.

Mini machines in amateur radio workshops homemade are found most often for the reason that it is expensive to buy industrial units, but making a device with your own hands is not difficult.

The idea of ​​how to make a drilling machine (including using a steering rack) occurs not only to radio amateurs, but also to people who from time to time need to perform repair work at home.

At the same time, the manufacture of a micro-unit does not require special devices or highly durable materials.

On initial stage It is necessary to create drawings to facilitate the manufacturing process of the machine.

Drilling unit from a drill

You can assemble an additive mini drilling machine from a drill with your own hands using only four main components. The first thing you need to do to create an additive machine is to select a bed - the foundation for the future.

An electric drill can be used as the rotation mechanism that is necessary for the mini additive machine to function. Then you need to decide on the feeder and vertical stand.

Since the drill is light in weight, you don’t need to look for special tools or very durable materials for the stand, you can take wooden boards or chipboard board.

For the bed, on the contrary, it is necessary to select a more massive material, which will eliminate the occurrence of vibration during drilling work.

A suitable material in this case is a furniture board with a thickness of 2 cm.

The best option when choosing a material for making a frame may be the stand of an unnecessary photo enlarger, but its design will have to be slightly modified.

The accuracy of the drilling process on a homemade mini unit will depend on the quality of the connection vertical stand and beds.

It is necessary to cut two guide strips from steel strips to move the block with the drill. Attach these devices to the stand with screws.

To securely hold the drill during the manufacture of the block, steel clamps are used.

A rubber gasket is placed between the drill and the block to reduce vibration of the mini drilling machine.

The feed mechanism of the machine is a simple lever with which the block with the drill will move vertically. Mechanical device It is equipped with a spring that is quite powerful and elastic.

One end of the spring element will rest against the block, the other - against the beam attached to the table.

Achieve the maximum convenient use mini drilling machine, provided that the drill is not planned to be removed from it periodically, will allow full analysis drill switch and mounting a separate switch on the frame.

You can consider in detail how to make an additive tabletop drilling unit using an electric drill in the proposed video.

Steering rack for drilling machine

The drilling machine can be done using an upgraded steering rack. Since buying a new steering rack will not be cheap, it is recommended to purchase a used part, preferably from a VAZ 2108.

After purchasing a steering rack, it is necessary to carry out preventive maintenance of the part in order to ensure its smooth operation.

Instructions for manufacturing the frame and its installation:

• The machine body is made taking into account the dimensions of the drill and column. The table on which the platform with drilling parts will be fixed must have suitable sizes, approximately 20x30 cm;
• The structure with which the drill will be secured is mounted on the steering part at the locations of the mounting bolts;
• The stand for the drilling machine is made of a U-shaped steel profile 30x60x30. It is welded to a sheet of metal 2 mm thick. The stand should have a height that exceeds the length of the column by 6-7 cm. The stroke of the rod for the steering rack from the VAZ 2108 is 210 mm;
• By mounting additional ribs between the two elements, the rigidity of the rack is increased.

For comfortable use drilling machine, it is recommended to consider convenient system its startup and shutdown.

Thematic video material will complement the topic.

PCB Drilling Machine

To assemble a micro drilling machine for printed circuit boards, you will need the following parts:

• micro motor or high speed motor;
• clamping collet for securing miniature drills;
• two wooden beams, U-shaped profile, fastening ring for fixing the electric motor;
• mobile platform of the machine for printed circuit boards - made independently from scrap materials.

When assembling a desktop micro drilling machine for printed circuit boards, it is recommended to pay attention to the fact that the drill drops exactly perpendicular to the board.

The video below shows a mini drilling machine for printed circuit boards.

If the motor is skewed, then when drilling printed circuit boards, the drills will fail. Clearance and poor fixation of the motor are not allowed; at high speeds it can be knocked out of the frame.

Video material will tell you how to make a micro machine with your own hands for drilling circuit boards.

Design of the coordinate table

If in a homemade drilling machine the functions of the coordinate table are performed by the feed mechanism, then the coordinate milling table has a different design.

A coordinate milling table is a manipulator consisting of a certain number axes. The milling table is designed to move the processing head in several planes.

You can make a milling table at home using modules linear type, made of aluminum profile.

Used as transmission rack, reinforced belt or ball screw element.

Computer numerical control (CNC) and action controllers are required to control the X-ray table. Controllers are used to manage technical tasks.

To make a milling table, first drawings are made, calculations are made and components are selected.

In this case, the calculation made must be suitable for technical requirements to the use of the machine, including moving masses, speed, acceleration and positioning accuracy.

The design of the coordinate table can be lightweight or reinforced, and be two or three coordinate. That is why it is recommended to initially decide why a milling table will be needed.

Two-coordinate table - base with a movable cross. A desktop is mounted on it. The crosspiece must contain hardened, adjustable and ground slats.

Travel stops are also installed to eliminate clearance. The base is fixed on the legs.

More details about making a coordinate table with your own hands can be found in the video provided.

Homemade vices for machines

If you can’t afford a Soviet vice, and you don’t like Chinese products, then in addition to a drilling machine, you can make a vice with your own hands.

To assemble a homemade vice, you need to have the following parts on hand:

• screw - thread 20 mm, length - 150 mm, the head of the screw must have a slot, as sometimes it does not fit the size of the handles, but it is expanded with the help of a file;
• a screw with a ring is used as a handle for tightening;
• studs can be purchased at the store or found in old parts;
• then you need to make a stationary sponge, possibly from pine wood, and nail the board to the tabletop;
• To make the movable part, you will need a board (20 mm thick, 18 mm wide), the length of the movable jaws must be at least 50 cm.

Holes with a diameter of 21 mm are made in the wood. The diameter of the holes in the studs should be 10 mm. Studs, screws, nuts and bolts are installed in the finished holes.

If the vice will be used to work with short workpieces, then the studs in the structure will be rearranged.

The vice is equipped with additional holes, which should be located near the clamping screws.

Homemade vices can have different parameters, it all depends on the selected parts.

An electric drill is universal tool, since its chuck can hold not only drills and cutters, but also wooden parts, if the device is used in a lathe. The need for a drilling machine arises when a home craftsman needs to drill holes strictly at right angles. In this case, the master is faced with a choice: buy a ready-made stand for drilling or make a machine from a drill with your own hands. We will tell you how to implement the second option.

When making a stand to secure a drill, you need to understand the principle of its operation and show imagination in the manufacture of its individual components.

Rack option No. 1

For example, below are instructions for making a device for a drill from simple scrap materials.

Rack option No. 2

The figure below shows another homemade drilling machine, the stand for which can be made from thick plywood, and the remaining parts from wooden beams.

The role of the guide in a drilling machine made from a drill is played by aluminum profile. But, if you don’t find such a profile, you can replace it with furniture guides(telescopic).

Rack option No. 3

If you have some lying around your house Soviet era photo enlarger, then it can serve as the basis for a stand for a drill. This design already has rigid guides, as well as a gear mechanism that ensures vertical movement of the carriage along them.

You only need to modify the design a little by attaching clamps to the carriage and comfortable handles to the height adjuster.

Well, if you don’t have the desire to design accessories for a drill with your own hands, or simply don’t have time for it, but you still need to drill a hole with a drill strictly at a right angle, then you can buy a ready-made stand for about 1,200 rubles.

Other options for drill machines

The drilling machine can serve as a motor for constructing various woodworking tools. Let's look at what other machine you can make from a drill with your own hands.

Fraser

To make a router using a drill, you will need to take a regular clamp used for water pipes.

You will also need to find some chipboard (you can use a slab of old furniture), and then assemble a structure such as in the figure below.

This type of router can be used, for example, for milling a groove in the end of a tabletop, for filling a T-shaped profile, or for shaped milling of the ends of wooden parts. Of course, good quality Milling in this way is difficult to achieve, since the device does not have enough revolutions. For comparison, the spindle of a router can rotate at a speed of 26,000 rpm. and more, thanks to which it is achieved high quality surface treatment.

You can also make a milling machine from a drill if you clamp it in such a way as shown in the picture below. In this way, a quarter is selected in a block for inserting glass, for example, when making a window.

To turn small, round parts, you can make a device in which a drill will impart rotational movement to the workpiece. The most in a simple way To perform turning work on wood can be called the one shown in the figure below.

This wood lathe can be made in minutes. To make it you will need a wooden beam or board, a couple of corners, and a sharpened bolt.

More “advanced” drawing lathe, which you can make from a drill with your own hands, is presented below.

If you do not have the opportunity to make such a device from metal, as shown in the drawing, then you can get by a pair of clamps, attached to the workbench.

The first clamp with a clamp can be used to secure the device to the workbench.

As a clamp for a drill, you can use a small vice with a clamp clamped in it. With a second clamp you need to clamp the homemade tailstock with a screw screwed into it to center and support the part. The end of the screw should be ground to a cone.

As a tool, a block of the required thickness is pressed against the workbench.

It is also not difficult to design a homemade lathe from wooden blocks, as shown in the following figure.

For precision turning work with long and large parts, it is recommended to make a lathe from metal profile (square).

When manufacturing this design, it is necessary to accurately maintain the alignment of the headstock and tailstock. The unit can be secured to the headstock with a pair of clamps.

The tailstock must be movable so that parts of different lengths can be processed.

The tool rest should also be movable and move both along the bed and across it so that it can be moved closer to the workpiece to reduce leverage. If the lever is too large, the tool may be torn out of your hands and the part out of the chuck, which can result in serious injury.

It is important that the support platform rotates, for example, when processing a part at an angle.

If you make such a machine, it can easily be converted into a universal one. It is enough to clamp an emery or felt wheel in the device’s chuck, and the structure turns into a grinding machine from a drill. In the same way, you can make a sharpening unit from it.

More simple model universal machine easy to make from regular planed boards. To do this, you need to cut it into parts and assemble the structure, as shown in the figure.

This is what the bed looks like if you remove the table.

The thickness of the board used in the design is 2 cm. The length of the product is 50 cm. The width of the device is 20 cm.

The height of the stands is 9 and 14 cm. The height can be different and depends on the diameter of the grinding wheel that will be used. The entire structure is screwed together with self-tapping screws. It is recommended to coat the joints of parts with glue before assembly.

There are 2 clamps attached to the top of the posts, one of which is cut and bent. A cut piece was used as a soft pad. polyethylene tube, nailed down with nails.

It is necessary to make a small cut (groove) on the bed and expand it with bottom side so that the head of the coupling bolt does not interfere.

Next, you should twist 2 planks measuring 20 X 27 cm with a block between them, the thickness of which is 4 cm (this way you will get a table). The block is needed so that the hand can move freely between the planes while screwing the table to the frame.

A groove is also cut in one plank to secure the table to the base. After this, the table can be attached using a screw and washer.

Thanks to the grooves, the table can be moved to the required distance to the chuck. If the table is rotated, it will be possible to move it across the machine. The length of the groove determines the distance the table can be moved.

After attaching the drilling machine, you will receive a universal device.

Now, if you clamp the drill chuck grinding wheel— you will receive a grinding unit. The presence of reverse in the unit during grinding is desirable, but not necessary.

If you install abrasive disc(for metal) from a grinder, then it becomes possible to cut metal rods. When cutting metal, be sure to wear safety glasses. You can also install a toothed cutter and use it to cut thin plastic.

When installing abrasive wheel- it turns out to be a sharpener.

This unit can be used for sharpening knives, drills, plane knives, and also for sharpening tools for a wood lathe.

If you fix the guides on the table and install a drill in the chuck, you will get an additive machine.

Thus, the drill, thanks to the clamping chuck, is the basis for creating machines for various purposes. This increase in functionality of a conventional drill will be very useful for home handyman, at whose disposal various technological operations appear.
