What to make a lifting table for a drill. Drilling machine from a drill with your own hands. Assembling the driving mechanism for a vertical drilling drill

The stand for the drill allows you to expand the scope of the tool. It will not be difficult to do it yourself. A drill placed on a stand, including a rotary one, becomes an effective multifunctional machine that can be used for a variety of technical work. This article and video will help you figure out how to make a stand for a drill with your own hands.

Pros and cons of creating a do-it-yourself drill stand for a drill

In building homemade drill stand, we can highlight the following positive aspects:

• in the public domain, you can find drawings and videos detailing the stages of making a homemade stand for a drill with your own hands;
• a do-it-yourself machine will cost less than a purchased factory model;
• it is always possible to make a drilling machine of a certain design, which will have the necessary functionality and characteristics, and will also be more convenient to use than existing models;
• you can assemble a stand for a drilling device from the components that are at hand, for example, using elements of old broken equipment.

The homemade device also has a number of shortcomings, of which the following can be distinguished:

• the elements of the drilling device are not fitted as accurately as possible, as a result of which backlashes may occur, which reduce the accuracy of processing;
• For the manufacture of certain parts, you may need: welding machine, a lathe and other equipment that increases the cost of manufacturing a rack;
• a homemade rack has limited functionality and is unsuitable for working at an inclined angle.

Making a stand for a drill with your own hands

The drill stand can be made from various materials , which are sure to be found in household. To understand in more detail the steps for making a do-it-yourself drill holder, you can watch the video at the end of the article.

Assembly of the main parts of the rack

The functionality of the machine largely depends on the power of the drilling mechanism. Diagram 1 shows possible variant drill stand assembly.

Scheme 1. A variant of the device of a homemade holder.

If you need a device that only performs standard drilling operations, then you can assemble the structure from wooden elements. If assembled device should perform a variety of functions and be mobile, then its design should contain steel parts. The drill stand includes the following items:

• supporting frame for fastening the main elements;
• a stand on which a drilling device with a carriage is mounted and moves along the vertical axis;
• a handle that is responsible for moving the drill and the tool attached to it along the vertical axis;
• special units that expand the functionality of the machine.

Using drawing 1, you can assemble one of the options for a homemade stand for a drill.

Drawing 1. Option for making a homemade holder.

A DIY drill stand is easy to install. Installing additional nodes will allow you to use the product under various technological operations.

Assembly of the bed

In the manufacture of the bed will need wooden plank from 20 mm thick or metal sheet 10 mm thick. Total weight the bed depends on the power indicators of the drill that will be used in the design. The size of the bed is selected depending on the type of work that will be performed on this equipment. There are the following general recommendations:

• the product for various technical operations should have a size of 1000x500 mm;
• the machine used in vertical drilling should have a size of 500x500 mm.

The bed consists of a fairly simple design. With the help of a special support, the rack is fixed in a vertical position. The structure is fastened with screws.

Rack collection

When collecting the base is also suitable metal or wood. Guide elements are placed on the rack, under the manual drilling device, and a clamp for fixing them. The stages of making a rack can be studied in the video at the end of the article. In general, you should follow a certain sequence:

1. The support is fixed on the frame of the device.
2. The rack is fixed on the base with screws and connected to the support.
3. Guides, in the form of telescopic furniture devices, are fixed on the rack.
4. The carriage and fasteners for holding the drill are installed on the movable section of the guides.

Guides for the machine should not have transverse play. The carriage is assembled from wood or metal, and its length depends on the dimensions of the drill. There are two options for attaching a structural unit with a mobile drill stand:

1. The drill is fixed with clamps. In this case, in drilled holes clamps are inserted in the carriage. Tightening the clamps clamps the drill and securely fixes it to the surface of the carriage.
2. The drill is fixed with a block. Block - wooden bracket, fixed to the surface of the carriage at an inclination of 90 degrees using metal squares. A hole is drilled in the block to secure the drill. The tool diameter must be 0.5 mm larger than the hole size. A slot is made, which ensures the installation of the tool in the hole.

The hole in the pad surface is drilled according to with the following steps:

1. In accordance with the diameter of the drill, a circle is drawn on the block.
2. Small holes are drilled in the circle, not touching its edges.
3. The holes are connected using lines cut with a hacksaw.
4. The edges of the hole are aligned with a rounded needle file or file.

Assembling the driving mechanism for a vertical drilling drill

For a homemade machine, you need to assemble a device that ensures the movement of the tool along vertical axis. The manufacture of such a mechanism consists of two stages:

1. Installing a handle that will provide a drill to the workpiece for processing.
2. Installing a spring that will move the carriage to its original position.

The spring can be placed in the lower grooves of the carriage or connected to the handle of the device.

The installation of the spring attached to the handle is carried out in several stages:

1. Two metal plates are fixed with screws on the rack.
2. The plates and axle are mounted on the other side of the rack surface.
3. The end of the spring is attached to the axis, the other end is fixed on the handle.
4. A pin connecting the handle and the carriage is installed in the longitudinal groove.

When the spring is located at the bottom of the device, the handle is fixed with two springs and moves with the help of an axis. The springs, in this case, are placed in the grooves of the guide elements and are limited in movement with the help of metal corners.

The machine with the springs located at the bottom works as follows: the carriage with the drill, during drilling, lowers and presses on the springs. After the end of the impact, the springs are unclenched and return the drill on the carriage to its original state.

Collection of additional nodes for a homemade machine

Installing additional mechanisms will allow the machine to perform drilling at an angle and some simple turning and milling type operations.

For milling work, you will need to create a mechanism that moves the part along the horizontal axis. In this case, a movable table with a horizontal top is used, which has a vise that secures the part. The movement of such a table can be provided by a handle and a screw transmission mechanism.

The machine can be used for drilling at an angle if you install a rotary plate with arc-shaped holes on it. The axis, fixed on the rack, will rotate the plate. The carriage with the drill must be attached to this plate. Holes located in the plate at an inclination of 30, 45 and 60 degrees fix the location of the head. The mechanism is assembled in the following order:

1. In the surfaces of the turntable and the rack, holes are drilled in the center, which will pass the axis through itself.
2. With the help of a protractor, on the surface of the rotary plate, holes are measured and drilled at the required angles of inclination.
3. With the help of bolts and axial holes, the plate and the rack are connected.
4. To fix the rotary plate, three holes are drilled on the rack for fastening the pins that will set its direction.

To work on such a machine, a plate with a drill, at a certain inclination, is fixed with pins. Such a machine can also be used for turning operations by placing a drill with a plate along the horizontal axis.

The machine, made by hand, has high versatility at work. But he is not suitable for working with details. large sizes, since it cannot be equipped with a large cutting mechanism.

The stand for the drill is a special supporting structure that allows you to “unload” your hands during drilling.

To make a stand for a drill with your own hands, you should consider a number important nuances which will be discussed in the article.

More about drill stands

Is it possible to make a stand for a drill yourself, without involving expensive and rare mechanisms and materials? Certainly yes.

To make a support structure for a drill, you need to use the simplest materials that can be found in the garage or bought at an inexpensive cost at any hardware store.

The drilling stand for the drill has certain design features.

It consists of:

• stands (or bed), which is a reliable support for other parts of the structure;
• a tripod (or stand) capable of supporting the weight of the drill;
• guides that allow you to move the drill horizontally (and sometimes vertically).

As a bed, you can use any quality material with high density.

It is best to use either natural wood, or several furniture boards bonded to each other with high quality adhesive.

The greater the thickness of the bed, the less vibration will be produced by the machine during work.

The tripod on which the guides and the drill will be mounted is best made from a wooden or metal perforated bar.

Before you make a machine, you need to carefully study the drawings of such structures and watch a video that describes step by step process stand assembly.

The scheme of a drilling machine intended for use in domestic conditions is not complicated - even those who do not have special specific skills can figure out its nuances.

If the homemade stand for a drill with your own hands is successful, then you will get:

• simple but functional frame;
• compact dimensions that allow you to place the mechanism both on the table and on any other work surface;
• relatively low vibration level;
• improving the quality of the result of work (in comparison with manual drilling of holes);
• low cost parts.

When making a stand for a drill, it is important to remember that all static components of the structure should be securely fastened to each other in order to prevent possible damage to the material being processed.

Unreliable fastening of parts can cause strong vibration, which will make adjustments to the accuracy of the work.

How to choose the dimensions of the parts for the rack?

If you want to create a stand for a drill, then decide how exactly the assembled fixture will be used.

For work aimed solely at drilling holes, you can use wooden racks or racks made from high-quality chipboard or fiberboard materials.

If the rack will be used not only as a drilling, but also as a turning or milling machine, then it is better to form it from a special perforated stainless metal, which has high strength and is immune to heat, which is permissible in the course of the declared work.

To make a wooden frame that serves as a support for the structure, you should use a metal or wooden plate, the dimensions of which must be considerable.

The minimum dimensions for a metal frame should be 500 * 500 * 15 millimeters. For a wooden bed, the dimensions should be slightly different - 600 * 600 * 30 millimeters.

In the manufacture of a multifunctional device suitable for drilling, turning and milling, the dimensions of the bed should be increased (1000 * 600 * 30 millimeters).

The length of the stand, which will hold the weight of the drill, should vary between six hundred and eight hundred millimeters, the width should be between two hundred and two hundred and fifty millimeters.

On it you need to fix a steel ring, which will serve as a holder for the drill. It is important that the diameter of the split ring in the open state is larger than the diameter of the drill being used.

In order not to damage the body of the unit used in the course of work, and to reduce possible vibration, a special rubber gasket should be used when attaching the drill to the ring.

The assembly of the structure takes place according to the following scheme. First you need to fasten the bed and the rack at a right angle, securing the connection area with screws and glue.

In some cases, stability can be given to the rack by using an additional support located outside the working area.

After the stand is attached, the bases of the guides for the drill should be fixed on it, ensuring its free movement within the work area.

Guides are better to take specialized, sold in a furniture store.

The moving part of the attached guides will serve as the base for the carriage with a drill, the role of which is played by a metal clamp.

It is not recommended to use wooden pads for fastening the drill, as they cannot guarantee the complete fixation of the device.

To carry out work aimed at forming a stand for a drill, the following carpentry tools and consumables may be required:

• saw or jigsaw;
• screwdriver or screwdrivers with different profiles (mainly cross);
• a hammer;
• vise;
• nails, screws, glue, rubber gaskets.

To exclude the possible exit of the body of the drill from the fixing clamp, you should use only high-quality and reliable metal rings, additionally equipped with tight rubber bands.

Otherwise, not only damage to the drilled material can occur, but also the destruction of the apparatus.

In order for the carriage placed on the rack rails to move, it should be connected to a pre-prepared spring mechanism.

The springs must be made of hardened steel and have the required diameter.

A return mechanism that causes the spring to move and the carriage to move can be installed next to the start handle.

To make fastening of this type, place the handle in the space between two plates firmly screwed to the post.

The second such device should be mounted a few millimeters from the main one. As the handle moves down, the spring will begin to lower, returning the carriage to its starting position.

To equip the drilling machine with the capabilities of a milling or turning structure, it should be supplemented with a second stand, placed not in a vertical, but in a horizontal plane.

Instead of a drill, this rack will be equipped with a vise in which you can fix the "working" material.

If you want to equip your drilling machine with the ability to work at different angles, then think about creating an additional rotary mechanism made of a special metal plate with holes of different diameters.

Drill angles should vary from thirty to sixty degrees. This clearance is enough to perform any, even the most painstaking drilling work.

A do-it-yourself stand for a static placement of a drill will not have the most extensive functionality.

Basic products created according to general scheme, do not give owners the opportunity to drill holes in materials at various non-standard angles.

To expand the functionality of the design, it should be finalized taking into account the wishes.

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 a homemade drilling machine:

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

The base (frame) for a homemade drilling machine can be made of 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 more good 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 is fixed steering rack 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.

Homemade drilling machine based on an asynchronous motor.

Replace drill in homemade machine can asynchronous motor, for example from an old washing machine. The manufacturing scheme for such a machine is complex, so it is better if it is done by a specialist with experience in turning and milling, assembling electrical circuits.

How to make a drilling machine for printed circuit boards with your own hands.

To manufacture a drilling machine for printing circuit boards, a drive of a low-power device is required. As a lever, you can use a mechanism from a photo cutter, a soldering iron. The drilling site can be illuminated with an LED flashlight. In general, this machine is rich in flight of creative thoughts.

The advantage of the device are as follows:

1. Cheapness - costs an order of magnitude or two less than industrial (from the store).
2. Availability of parts - everything can be used in the design, from a small bar 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 multi-functional 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 needed. This raises the cost of production.
2. Backlash of parts due to loose mounting and fitting.
3. A tripod for a drill makes it impossible to perform a number of other jobs (for example, drilling at an angle, etc.).

Universal machine stand

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

1. Bed - serves as the main supporting element of the entire machine.
2. Rack - designed to secure the carriage with a drill and allows you to move it with a handle and additional elements.
3. Handle - serves to move the carriage along the longitudinal axis of the rack, which ensures the supply of a rotating tool to the part.
4. Additional nodes - 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 homemade craftsmen. Consider the main parts of the machine.

DIY drill stand

This node represents a slab of 10 mm (or more) of 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 may vary:

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

But these dimensions are not final and can be changed according to your requests.

The cheapest and easiest to repeat bed is cut from a 20-40 mm piece of wood or made from 10-20 mm steel. The main rack is fixed on it (exposed vertically) and a support from 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, you should connect the rack and support to each other using metal corners.

Drill stand for drill

It is made of 20-40 mm board or 10-20 mm steel plate. 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 fixing the drill is fixed on the stand.

The assembly order of the rack is as follows:

• a support is strengthened on the bed;
• 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) are strengthened, for example, from a table;
• further, a carriage with a device for fixing 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 email. drills. The board is drilled, the clamps are threaded into the holes. Clamps are tightened with a suitable screwdriver.

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

The block represents a plate screwed perpendicular to the axis of the carriage and reinforced metal corners. A 0.5 mm hole is drilled in the block smaller diameter"front end" of the drill and a slot is made for secure fixation of the tool.

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

• measure the diameter of the tool and draw a circle;
• inside the circle (closer to the line) drill a series of holes;
• cut through the remaining partitions with a file, knife or saw;
• with a semicircular or round file, the circle is leveled, bringing it to the required caliber.

Movement mechanism

The main elements of this node:

• Handle - serves to feed 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 at the bottom - in the grooves of the carriage guides.

• 2 metal plates are screwed to the main rack from one end, between which an axis for the handle is inserted (you can use an M8-M12 screw).
• Plates are also screwed on the other edge, between which a spring is installed. To limit the possibility of its dismounting to the side, pins are used, one of which is installed on the stand, and the second on the handle, which moves between the plates.
• A longitudinal groove is made in the handle for the normal operation of the mechanism.
• A pin or axle is fixed on the carriage to ensure 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 being 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, providing drilling of the part. During the working stroke of the carriage, the springs are compressed, storing energy. When the lever is released, the energy of the springs is directed back, and the carriage goes vertically upwards.

Additional nodes

By modifying the rack with a simple knot, you can 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 move horizontally. To ensure the feed, a second same rack is used, which is fixed horizontally on the frame. Only instead of a drill, a vise should be fixed on it.

The distance from the edge of the part to the groove to be cut is limited by the gap 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 feed mechanism of the machine table (screw).

Drilling holes at an angle and turning work

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

The main angles of inclined holes are 30 o, 45 o, 60 o. The turning mechanism can be done like this:

• first, a hole for the axis is drilled on the rack and in the turntable;
• further, measuring the angles with a protractor or some other measuring device, drill holes in a circle on the DP;
• then combine the axial holes of both plates and fix 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 rotated to the desired angle and fixed to the back 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, large-caliber parts cannot be processed on it.

Is it possible to make such a device yourself? Before a detailed answer, it is recommended to find out what elements this device consists of, how they work on it. If you like to do homemade crafts, then such a machine will be very useful. But sometimes it is not possible to mount it due to difficulties with installation.

Advantages and disadvantages

This device has certain advantages:

However, there are also some negative points:

• often, assembly requires elements that can only be manufactured in factory
• conditions that affect the cost;
• improper fit entails the formation of a backlash, from which inaccuracies in work occur;
• a self-prepared stand does not allow drilling at an angle.

Nevertheless, we will figure out how to make a do-it-yourself drill stand, the drawings and photos of which are presented below.

Universal stand option

With the help of this option, it becomes possible to perform a variety of operations from which the drill engine will not fail.

To save money, many make a frame from hardwoods. The main rack with clamps is attached to it. All connections are made with screws, mounted vertically in relation to the frame.

For everything to work properly, you need to make sure that there is no play in the guides. The drill can be attached in two ways - on pads or on clamps.

It will need a handle and springs. There are two ways to arrange everything - fix the return mechanism near the handle or insert two springs in the carriage grooves.

Milling and turning types of work

For milling, it is enough to connect this stand with a vice to the machine, fixing it horizontally. In order for the mechanism created on their own to function smoothly, many use an elongated screw from the printer. This will allow you to achieve high-precision machining when choosing a groove.

To perform drilling at angles, a rotary device is used, for the manufacture of which an additional plate is required. Holes are drilled in it in an arc.
The use of such a device instead of lathe allows you to process only those parts that can fit in the chuck of an electric drill.
If you have skillful hands, which interact perfectly with the head, then you will make such a frame without any problems. With its help, using a drill, you can perform more operations.
