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, and other available materials.

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 of hard wood, 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;
design by type screw jack.

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 desirable to use it in the machine, you can make a design based on an asynchronous motor, for example, from an 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.

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 during the same type of work. Therefore, questions about how to make a drilling machine from a drill very often arise among modern craftsmen.

Necessity or luxury

First of all, it is worth saying that using such a device is very convenient when making holes in small horizontal planes. It almost completely eliminates the drill from backlash, which inevitably occurs when handmade. Even a small drilling machine from a drill significantly increases the accuracy of the hole made, minimally reducing the error. Also, such equipment greatly saves time and effort if frequent use or monotonous work is required.

Almost all enterprises where plumbing work is performed are equipped with such units. The fact is that studies conducted in the field of occupational safety have shown an increase in productivity and quality when using them. Some of them even purchase a magnetic drilling machine to optimize production on large surfaces without the use of expensive equipment.

Why drill?

Currently, there are a lot of 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 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 you can easily remove the drill for independent work. As a result, we do not lose a tool that we can use ourselves.

In order to create a drilling machine from a drill with your own hands, you need to purchase the tool itself. It is selected in accordance with the parameters that it will have to have finished device. At the same time, experts advise paying attention to products that have their own slight play. Otherwise, the advisability 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 a wooden box onto which magnets or ballast are attached for weighting.
Fasteners When making a drilling machine from a drill with your own hands, you immediately select couplings or clamps suitable for fixing a specific tool.
Wood or metal structures - depending on what material is to be processed.
The spring required to implement the reverse motion.
If a drilling machine with a magnetic sole 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 necessary in any case. Even a mini-drilling machine requires great precision during its manufacture, since this will subsequently affect the quality of the holes produced.

First of all, you need to decide on the design 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 units. A typical drawing of a drill press from a drill is quite simple. It involves creating 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 the vertical plane, although the use of ready-made guides greatly simplifies this process. If you use the stand of a microscope, photographic enlarger or press as a frame, then the drawing will be based on their base, and the entire manufacturing process is greatly simplified.

Stand and tripod

Even a mini drill press needs a stable base. It should not only support the entire structure, but can be equipped various elements for fixing tools or other devices. When thinking about the design 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 they use wooden frame in the form of a small box. There are seats on it for installing a vice or other structures. If the product is planned to be used on large surfaces, then the frame is made of a solid plate with a hole for a drill. This way you can implement the principle of drilling through.

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

If the work involves drilling holes at a certain angle, then you can make certain devices in advance that will be mounted on the frame. Most often, in such cases, ready-made ball vices with an adjustable angle of inclination are used.

Creating a Motion Mechanism

When making a homemade drilling machine 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 displacement. Taking this into account, professional craftsmen recommend using ready-made guides that can be taken from other devices. You can also use systems made to pull out drawers in cabinet furniture. They are quite reliable and can withstand heavy loads.

The guides are installed directly on the 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 positioned 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 to a special carriage, where the drill itself will be installed. It is made of wood and adjusted to the dimensions of the original instrument. A small handle is also attached to the carriage, with which the operator will control the moving process.

To implement the return movement and facilitate control of the movement of the carriage, a spring is installed on the machine. One end of it is fixed at the top of the tripod, and the other is mounted on a movable mechanism. In this case, they immediately check the level of its tension, which, if necessary, can be changed by cutting the turns or stretching them. However, this adjustment is best done under load, which means it is performed only after fixing the drill on the carriage. Some craftsmen recommend making the spring removable so that it can be removed after work. This way it will not stretch and weaken.

Fixing the drill

Typically, instructions on how to make a drill press from a drill recommend creating special fastening systems that end up being very difficult to work with. However, if the tool is selected correctly, it can be fixed using ordinary plumbing clamps used to create connections between hoses and pipes. In this case, you will need to make certain changes to the shape of the carriage or even slightly adjust the drill body.

It is very important that the tool is clamped tightly and moves in the clamp. Therefore, even at the stage of manufacturing the carriage, it is left with practically no free space, being structurally limited on all sides. In fact, the carriage itself is a kind of bed for the drill, in which it will sit very tightly. Additional elements are needed only for reliable fixation. This approach will greatly simplify the design and allow you to quickly remove the tool if necessary.

Taking into account the material presented above, we can conclude that a drilling machine from a drill can be made independently and without large financial costs. In this case, the final product will be maximally adapted to the performance of specific technical tasks and will be able to satisfy the relevant needs of the end user. However, it is worth considering the fact that factory designs usually have less error and are capable of performing precise work with minimal tolerance. Therefore, such devices are usually suitable for private use or in small workshops where high-precision holes are not required.

We make our own circular saw and other machines from a drill

Sometimes there is a need to cut a fairly hard board into several planks. You can’t do this kind of work manually, but buy a factory one circular saw for the sake of a single case it is unprofitable. The solution is very simple - make a small circular saw from a regular drill.

Design

It is better to make the machine small in size so that it can be put away on a shelf when its presence is no longer needed. Its design is extremely simple:

base made of a thick board or piece of chipboard;
working surface;
racks;
shaft with circular saw;
electric drive in the form of a drill.

We make the base from a 30 mm thick chipboard sheet; it is enough to cut out a piece measuring 300x250 mm. For desktop We choose a sheet of duralumin 4 mm thick - it is quite rigid and light, so as not to weigh down the entire structure. We make a hole in the right place for circular saw measuring approximately 160x10 mm.

The holder for the drill itself can be made independently - that’s all required dimensions and drawings are available on the Internet, but a similar design for a shaft with a saw can be purchased in a store or at a clothing market. The bearing for the shaft must be selected dustproof- When homemade machine will work, there will be a lot of small waste in the form of wood dust.

A circular saw from a drill is assembled according to the standard scheme: first, all parts are fixed to the base, then the work table is mounted and the drill is connected.

Security measures

When working on any machine, you must strictly follow the following rules:

the place of upcoming work must be cleared of unnecessary materials and tools;
workpieces are fed smoothly without jerking or distortion, so that the cutting tool does not jam;
the plane of rotation of the circular saw must be limited from above by a special protective casing ;
the machine must be kept clean and put away after each use;
If the mini sawmill is not used for a long time, then lubricate all metal parts with machine oil.

This small machine can cut not only wooden boards. If you install special cutters on it, you can process parts made of brass and other non-ferrous metals, plastic or propylene.

Other homemade machines

Many users are interested in what else can be done using improvised tools from a drill with their own hands? There are many answers - home craftsmen are already making various homemade products from drills in garage workshops. A drill is a universal tool, so with a certain skill and imagination you can make whatever your heart desires.

Sharpener. you just need to buy some emery in the form of a circle and make a special holder in which the drill is attached.
Drillingmachine- there are special holders for vertical drilling or stands.

When pouring the foundation for a utility room in the private sector, some users use homemade vibrator. made from a drill to quickly compact a concrete structure.

Original devices

The list of homemade products can be continued endlessly, but we’d rather talk in more detail about some homemade machines that can be made from any model of drill.

A drill made from a drill is not a fantasy, but a real and quite universal machine, assembled independently. The main thing is that you need to order from Chinese engineers (if you couldn’t find it in your city) flexible shaft from a standard medical unit. As a result, a drill appears in your arsenal, which can be used for engraving work or drill holes using special burs in small parts or structures that cannot be reached with a standard drill.

Lathe

A woodworking or lathe for home can easily be made using a drill. The tool must be secured with special clamps quite rigidly and inserted into a chuck of a special design holder with several sharp pins that keep the workpiece from turning. The center of the rear holder (headstock) and the clamp at the front of a homemade lathe should be located on the same axis. Precision is necessary to prevent runout as the workpiece rotates. After installing the part, tailstock It is firmly fixed with a special clamp.

The third element of the machine is handyman as wooden block, on which a chisel or other tool for processing the workpiece will rest.

Important! When working on lathe Do not forget about safety, be sure to wear safety glasses, and the sleeves of clothing should fit tightly around your forearms.

Turning a machine for processing wooden workpieces will work properly if the drill has a built-in electronic speed controller. Using the trial method, you establish the optimal rotation mode for efficient processing wood Using such a woodworking device, you can make unique products for household needs: for example, a rolling pin or pestle with a mortar, a candlestick or a prefabricated candelabra.

An original winch based on an old but powerful drill will become an indispensable assistant on the farm, especially for those users who live in own home and there is personal plot. A simple situation: you decided to install a larger container in your summer shower, but raising it to such a height alone is problematic. Using a winch, this can be done in a few minutes. You just need to first calculate the weight of the container and the spindle speed.

According to garage craftsmen, a homemade winch easily lifts the engine from passenger car. Watch the video if you don't take my word for it:

Experts advise using homemade device, setting the drill to the most minimum speed. This design can move objects with different masses, because craftsmen even make winches based on an ordinary car starter.

How to make a drilling machine with your own hands

It is advisable to make a drilling machine with your own hands in situations where in a home workshop or garage there will be a need to drill holes in parts of various configurations, as well as those made of different materials. It should be noted that such a device makes it possible to obtain holes with sufficient high level quality.

One of the options for a homemade drilling machine

When you need a homemade drilling machine

In production or repair enterprises, where the drilling operation is considered the most common, it is used to perform it. special device, models of which may have different functionality. So, it can be a compact tabletop drilling machine, distinguished simplest design, or equipment equipped with several working spindles and numerical control.

Basic design elements of a homemade machine

For drilling holes in various materials, which is performed in a home workshop or garage, you can use home-made equipment. Naturally, for use at home you need a simple device that can be made from components and materials found in almost any garage or home workshop.

And in this article we will not leave unanswered the question of how to make a drilling machine at home, while spending a minimum of money. The drawings and experience of many craftsmen who have already walked this path will help us with this.

The need for such mini drilling equipment for metal, wood or plastic most often arises among those who are accustomed to independently performing various renovation work in your house or apartment. Also, quite often radio amateurs are puzzled by the construction of miniature drilling machines.

It would seem that a conventional drill can be used to perform such an operation, but such a tool is not always able to provide the required quality and accuracy of drilling operations. Homemade drilling machine. In addition to its compactness, it has another important quality: it can be used to install drills of various types.

Simple mini drilling machine for minor works

Drilling machine from a conventional drill

To make a small but functional drilling machine for your home workshop, you do not need to purchase special materials and components. The design of such a convenient and useful desktop device contains the following components:

the base, which is also called the bed;
a mechanism that ensures rotation of the working tool (a conventional drill can be used as such a mechanism);
device for providing supply;
a vertical stand on which the rotation mechanism is fixed.

Diagram of a homemade machine from a drill

The stand on which the drill will be mounted can be made from a sheet of chipboard. This material quite capable of supporting the weight of such a device. The bed of such a mini-machine should be more massive, since it protects the entire structure from vibrations, which can negatively affect both the quality and accuracy of the resulting hole, and the comfort of work.

As the material for the frame of such a drilling and adding machine, you can use a regular furniture board, the thickness of which is more than 2 cm. It is most convenient to use the base of an old photographic enlarger for this, slightly modifying its design. Sometimes an old microscope is used, but this is a rather rare option, since such a unit will not be large enough and its use will be limited.

Drilling machine from a school microscope

The quality and accuracy that a homemade drilling machine will provide depends primarily on how correctly and reliably the connection of its base and vertical stand is made. Important elements Such a micro machine consists of two guides along which the block with the drill attached to it will move. Such guides are best made from two strips of steel, which must be securely screwed to the rack using screws.

When making the block, it is advisable to use steel clamps that will securely fix the drill on it. In addition, in order to avoid unwanted vibration processes when drilling, a thick rubber gasket must be installed at the junction of the block and the drill.

After this, you need to make a feed mechanism for such a mini machine, which should ensure the movement of the electric drill in the vertical direction. The manufacturing schemes for such a mechanism may be different, but it traditionally contains in its design a lever and a spring, which is attached at one end to the stand, and at the other to the block with the drill. This spring gives the feed mechanism greater rigidity.

A drilling machine made from a drill, which is not planned to be removed from it, can be made more convenient to use if you disassemble the original switch of the drill and mount a separate button on the frame of the mini equipment. This button will always be at your fingertips and will allow you to quickly turn the device on and off. As you can see, it’s not at all difficult to make a drilling machine from a drill; all you need to do is read these instructions carefully or watch the training videos in this article.

An example of a drill machine in more detail

As an example, let's look in more detail at one of the options for a homemade drilling machine made from a drill. collected at home.

Do-it-yourself drilling machine from a drill

Manufacturing a machine using an asynchronous motor

The absence of an extra electric drill in the household is not a reason to abandon the idea of making a drilling machine with your own hands. To drive the rotation mechanism of such equipment, you can use any Electrical engine. Such engines, which were previously installed on various techniques, will probably be found in the garage or workshop of any home craftsman.

Asynchronous motors, which are equipped with washing machines. If you have such a motor, you can confidently use it to make home drilling equipment. Making drilling equipment with such an engine at home is somewhat more difficult than using a drill, but the power of such a machine will be much higher.

Given the fact that an induction motor weighs more than a conventional drill, you will need a stronger base and stand to accommodate the feed mechanism.

In order for such a mini drilling and attachment machine to vibrate less during operation, it is necessary to install the motor on a powerful base and place it as close to the stand as possible. But here it is important to maintain the correct distance, since the convenience of installing the belt drive depends on it, due to which the rotation from the motor will be transmitted to the drilling head.

In order for you to make such a machine at home, you will need the following structural elements:

gear;
a hexagon on which the pulley will be placed;
two bearings;
two tubes, one of which must have an internal thread;
clamping ring, which must be made of durable steel.

The hexagon also connects to a metal tube, bearing and clamping ring. Such a connection must be very reliable so that the resulting assembly does not collapse during operation.

Drilling machine with asynchronous motor

The mechanism necessary to ensure the feed of the tool in such a mini machine must consist of a tube on which cuts are first made, and a gear. The tube will move due to the connection of its teeth with these cuts. An axle with a hexagon is then pressed into this tube, the height of which must correspond to the amount of the required tool feed.

Example of a drilling machine with an asynchronous motor

Let's consider one of the very serious options for a homemade drilling machine with an asynchronous motor, which was clearly not made by a beginner. Few home craftsmen would dare to take on such a project, but if, as they say, the urge comes, then nothing is impossible.

Difficult to manufacture homemade machine with an asynchronous motor

It is quite obvious that it is quite difficult to manufacture such a machine, and then it is even more difficult to ensure the accuracy of its operation. Therefore, the best option is to use an electric drill to make a home drilling machine.

Finally, we suggest watching a couple more videos in which craftsmen demonstrate their homemade drilling machines. These videos once again prove that it is always possible to assemble the necessary equipment with your own hands, although sometimes it is not easy.

Homemade drilling machine from a drill

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

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

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

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

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

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

Machine assembly

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

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

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

There are several mounting methods:

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

The easiest way to make a homemade drilling structure at home

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

Do-it-yourself drilling machine from a drill

Dear visitors to the site “Visiting Samodelkin,” from the material presented by the author, you will learn how you can independently make a budget drilling machine from an ordinary electric drill.
Every craftsman would like to have a similar machine on his farm, because in comparison with factory analogues it will cost tens of times less, and if all the spare parts and components are available, then it’s completely free.

The author of this machine is Igor Stasyuk, for which I thank him very much, he shared step-by-step photographs of the assembly of the machine with the people. The design is quite interesting and at the same time simple. Corners and 4 legs are welded onto a base made of a 3 mm sheet of metal; a 500 mm rod made of professional pipe is welded onto this plate. square section, the slider is made of 2 corners welded into a pipe and placed on a lifting column with a gap so that the slider can move up and down along the column. Lifting mechanism it is activated by a cable stretched from the top point to the bottom, and on the slider the cable makes several turns.

So, let's take a closer look at what exactly the author needed to assemble the machine? And also the whole step-by-step process.

Materials
1. sheet metal 3 mm
2. fittings
3. corner
4. cable
5. drill
6. vice for workpieces
7. bolts, nuts, washers, engravers
8. drill clamp
9. paint
10. professional square pipe
11. drill

Tools
1. welding machine
2. grinder (angle grinder)
3. drill
4. file
5. vise
6. clamp
7. caliper
8. ruler
9. corner
10. level
11. sandpaper
12. brush
13. hacksaw for metal
14. emery

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 out the workpiece using a grinder (angle grinder) and welds 2 corners and 4 legs from a steel rod or fittings into the lower part. The length of the legs should be the same so that there is no distortion of the frame.

The corners and legs are welded on.

Making a slider! Take 2 corners and apply them to a professional square-section pipe that will serve as a lifting column and tighten them with a clamp.

It is tacked along the edges by welding in order to simply attach it for now, and only then specifically weld the normal seam.

This is actually how the preparation turned out.

The lifting column is made from professional square-section pipe 500 mm long.

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

The drilled hole is threaded.

The handles of the lifting mechanism are made of reinforcement.

There is a head on the shaft that will serve as the base for the handles.

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

Installed on a lifting column.

A loop like this is made at the end of the cable.

Attention! The cable is attached at the bottom using a loop, then several turns are made on the shaft and tension is applied in the upper part of the lifting column.

I hope the lifting principle is clear and without explanation)

A square pipe is welded onto the corner.

This is actually the mount for the electric drill.

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

Now let's go back to the lifting mechanism again.

At the top of the lifting column, a nut is welded and a bolt is screwed into it, a cable is attached to the bolt itself, and when the bolt is tightened and unscrewed, the cable is tensioned to the optimal level.

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

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

All parts were polished by the master using sandpaper and then painted.

And now the vice is screwed into its rightful place. And now the Author is already drilling holes in the wooden handles for the machine.

Installation of wooden heads on handles.

In fact, our master turned out to be such a wonderful machine.

Do more creativity, improve yourself, create and success will definitely come to you.

Drill a hole in any material without special effort You can do this by using a hand-held power tool, such as a drill, drill or screwdriver. Probably everyone has such a tool in their home workshop. But when there is a need to drill a large amount, moreover, with great accuracy or at a certain angle, there is a need to use a drilling machine.

Drilling machines for home production You can buy it in stores that sell similar equipment. Basically, this is equipment of joint production - Russia - China, for example, called Caliber, Zubr, Encore Corvette, there is a purely Chinese manufacturer. Their prices start from 7900 rubles. In principle, it’s not that expensive if you tweak the design a little, but the quality depends on how it turns out, sometimes you come across something good. There are many models produced in Switzerland - China; although they are more expensive, the reviews are good.

Drilling machine Caliber, previously produced in Moscow, power 400 W

Joint production means that equipment developed by, say, Russia is produced by Chinese workers. At the same time, the name, design and quality of the machine are preserved.

On such a machine, with the help of accessories, the drilling accuracy will be much higher; you can place the workpiece in a vice and drill under the right angle, the number of holes per unit time will be greater. In addition, if you need to drill holes with a diameter of, for example, 1.5 mm, you can’t do without a machine.

Making drilling machines with your own hands

If you buy a machine, then remake the stand, which in most machines is very thin and unreliable, and also constantly repair a failing spindle, it is much easier and more profitable to use a drill that you have and make a drilling machine from it yourself, using standard drawings and scheme . Of course, you shouldn’t use a hand drill, if you’re already making a machine, then it’s good and reliable, but if it’s not possible to use an electric drill, and you have a hand drill, you can use it too.

The main thing in such a machine is to firmly fasten the main stand - a pipe on which there will be a structural support and a screw, which will be the running screw. The drill placed in the holder will move along it.

A machine made from a hand drill that can be completely assembled from wooden parts.

Of the complex designs, we can only name a vernier scale installed with a special drum, but in extreme cases, you can do without this unit. An example of how such a simple homemade drilling machine is made with your own hands from a drill can be seen in the photo, where the author used a connecting rod to make a mount into which the drill will be attached. Also an original and at the same time simple solution for tensioning the cable.

To make a table and attach a drill, you can use rolled metal, preferably a rectangular pipe. Of course, this is less of a machine and more of an adapter for a drill, but it does its job well.

If the machine is small, rather a mini tabletop machine that will be used for small jobs, you can make a structure for it from wood and plywood, as shown in the first diagram. During manufacturing, it must be taken into account that such components as a lever that regulates the feed of the drill and a spring that gives rigidity to the mechanism must be present in the design. If the drill is mounted for permanent use, it would be more convenient to remake the start button.

Basically, with your own hands, such drilling machines are made from drills into desktop ones, so you need to take care that the plate stands firmly and there are no distortions on it. In addition, if possible, it would be a good idea to mill out the grooves for the movement of the vice, so that along with drilling, small milling work could be carried out.

Using a powerful drill to make a drilling machine, manufacturing features

For milling in combination with drilling and for long-term drilling in large metal drill diameter They make a drilling machine with their own hands from a drill that has high power and belongs to the class of professional tools.

A powerful drill requires a more powerful stand

The peculiarity of using such a drill is its weight and high vibration during operation. Due to the fact that it uses a slightly larger motor, all parts are made of metal, double insulation is usually used, the weight of the drill is higher than that of household drills. Therefore, the manufacture of such a stand should only be made of metal, in addition, the table should be more massive.

In this case there are a lot of factory parts, but for a powerful drill these parts are a godsend

We also make the return spring more powerful, just as the cable on which the clamp works must be at least 4 mm in diameter. We also make the handles more powerful, using a rolled metal rod with a diameter of about 12 mm. For the frame it is better to take rolled metal; it will be especially successful to use a square or rectangular pipe, it can be 50 x 50 or 40 x 60. We take iron for the work table at least 3 mm, we weld it taking into account the right angle.

Making the base for the stand

We assemble all parts by welding or using 10-12 mm bolts. Plate in finished form should look like this:

The base plate is finished, just needs to be painted

Everything must be powerful enough.

Watch a video on how to make a drilling machine from a powerful drill with your own hands:

Horizontally - a drilling machine made from a drill, made by yourself.

To drill a hole, for example, inside a long shaft, using a vertical drilling machine, even a purchased one, it will not be possible to do it efficiently, no matter how hard you try. Therefore, the idea of making a machine with horizontal feed will be very useful.

Let's look at an example of manufacturing such a machine. First, we sketch a diagram and decide on the tools and materials for our homemade device.

An example of making a do-it-yourself stand for horizontal drilling

You need to have either a circular saw or a sawing machine, a drill or a drill-screwdriver, hand tool, such as a chisel, hammer, various screwdrivers and similar tools.

If we make a device from wood, as in our case, we need to prepare a board, it is better to take pine and 12-15 mm plywood, a piece of chipboard. The bolts are standard, self-tapping screws, a bushing, you can take ready-made guides for furniture drawers, you can make them, a nut - an impeller, a handle, long bolts - these are like components.

You can try the following, more advanced option.

We assemble a frame from bars and chipboards, the width of the board is 20 cm, the length is about a meter. We make two guides that can be moved apart and fixed to a certain width using long fastening screws. For precise drilling, draw a line running strictly along the continuation of the drill. The table can be raised up to the desired height also with long screws. We make it from plywood and sand and polish it well before installation. The table is lifted by rotating the handle and, as it were, shifting the rectangular prisms with an oblique side towards each other. For better sliding on their sides, we stuff strips of laminate.

We install the drill in a special rack made of plywood or boards.

Mounting the drill in a horizontal position

A very good assembly option can be seen in this video:

According to the last example, even if you have to tinker with it, the design will be very reliable, it will be able to withstand the minimum permissible deviations and, in theory, it should serve for a long time. Since such a machine will withstand vibration due to the position of the drill, the backlash in the connections will not increase.

Sometimes there is a need to cut a fairly hard board into several planks. It’s impossible to do this kind of work manually, and it’s unprofitable to buy a factory-made circular saw just for a single case. The solution is very simple - make a small circular saw from a regular drill.

It is better to make the machine small in size so that it can be put away on a shelf when its presence is no longer needed. Its design is extremely simple:

base made of a thick board or piece of chipboard;
working surface;
racks;
shaft with circular saw;
electric drive in the form of a drill.

We make the base from a 30 mm thick chipboard sheet; it is enough to cut out a piece measuring 300x250 mm. For desktop We choose a sheet of duralumin 4 mm thick - it is quite rigid and light, so as not to weigh down the entire structure. In the right place we make a hole for the circular saw measuring approximately 160x10 mm.

The holder for the drill itself can be made independently - all the necessary dimensions and drawings are available on the Internet, but a similar design for the shaft with a saw can be purchased in a store or at a clothing market. The bearing for the shaft must be selected dustproof- when the homemade machine is working, there will be a lot of small waste in the form of wood dust.

A circular saw from a drill is assembled according to the standard scheme: first, all parts are fixed to the base, then the work table is mounted and the drill is connected.

Security measures

When working on any machine, you must strictly follow the following rules:

the place of upcoming work must be cleared of unnecessary materials and tools;
workpieces are fed smoothly without jerking or distortion, so that the cutting tool does not jam;
the plane of rotation of the circular saw must be limited from above by a special protective casing;
the machine must be kept clean and put away after each use;
If the mini sawmill is not used for a long time, then lubricate all metal parts with machine oil.

This small machine can cut more than just wooden boards. If you install special cutters on it, you can process parts made of brass and other non-ferrous metals, plastic or propylene.

Original devices

The list of homemade products can be continued endlessly, but we’d rather talk in more detail about some homemade machines that can be made from any model of drill.

A drill made from a drill is not a fantasy, but a real and fairly universal machine, assembled independently. The main thing is that you need to order from Chinese engineers (if you couldn’t find it in your city) flexible shaft from a standard medical unit. As a result, a drill appears in your arsenal, which can be used for engraving work or drill holes using special burs in small parts or structures that cannot be reached with a standard drill.

The third element of the machine is handyman in the form of a wooden block on which a chisel or other tool for processing the workpiece will rest.

Important! When working on a lathe, do not forget about safety, be sure to wear safety glasses, and the sleeves of clothing should fit tightly around your forearms.

Turning a machine for processing wooden workpieces will work properly if the drill has a built-in electronic speed controller. Using the trial method, you establish the optimal rotation mode for effective wood processing. Using such a woodworking device, you can make unique products for household needs: for example, a rolling pin or pestle with a mortar, a candlestick or a prefabricated candelabra.

Winch

An original winch based on an old but powerful drill will become an indispensable assistant in the household, especially for those users who live in their own home and have a personal plot. A simple situation: you decided to install a larger container in your summer shower, but raising it to such a height alone is problematic. Using a winch, this can be done in a few minutes. You just need to first calculate the weight of the container and the spindle speed.

According to garage craftsmen, a homemade winch can easily lift the engine from a passenger car. Watch the video if you don't take my word for it:

Experts advise using a homemade device, installing the drill at the most minimum speed. This design can move objects with different masses, because craftsmen even make winches based on an ordinary car starter.

Construction stores offer us a huge range of different drilling machines in all price categories.

However, the cost of a really high-quality model hits your pocket hard, and there is no point in purchasing a cheap drilling machine from consumer Chinese manufacturers, the service life of which is ridiculous.

It's much easier to buy a good one electric drill, and independently make a hand-made desktop homemade drilling machine based on it, which will fully meet all your requirements.

The cost of a high-quality drill is much less than that of full-fledged drilling machines.

In addition, you can use an electric drill that is already on the farm, since the design of the machine allows for its quick dismantling, which allows you to use one drill both in stationary and manual mode.

1 Required tools and materials

A tabletop drilling machine from a drill can be made based on metal pipes, or based on wooden parts. We recommend that you give preference to the second option, since it is much less labor-intensive and does not require the use of either an angle grinder or a welding machine.

Wood a homemade machine is durable, which is more than enough for normal household use.

You can make such a machine yourself, based on a drill, by following all the recommendations described below, with your own hands within two hours, and it will serve you for many years.

In order to make a tabletop drilling machine with your own hands, you will need the following materials:

wooden boards 2-2.5 centimeters thick;
guide metal slats - 2 pieces (such slats are used to supply drawers in tables and chests of drawers, they can be purchased at any furniture supermarket);
wooden beam dimensions 20*30 mm - about two meters;
wood screws 20 and 30 millimeters long;
wood glue;
electric drill;
metal rod with M8 thread;
metal tube with M6 class thread;
screws and nuts.

The actual work is carried out using the following tools:

screwdriver (Phillips or regular, depending on what screws you will use);
drill;
sandpaper;
jigsaw and hacksaw;
corner;
pencil, ruler;
level
roulette
carpentry clamps for fixing boards.

1.1 Creating a base for the frame

To create a basic base for a homemade drilling machine, use a hacksaw to cut a 20*30 wooden beam into four pieces, two of which are 17 centimeters long, and two more are 20 centimeters long.

If you want to create a homemade machine based on a massive electric drill, then it would be better to make a larger base, since increasing its size will give the structure greater stability.

Next, prepare a board with dimensions of 200*220*20 millimeters (dimensions are based on the above dimensions of the timber). Using self-tapping screws, connect the beam sections into one frame. To connect at each end of the beam, you need to use two self-tapping screws; if you are using a thicker beam, you can screw in a self-tapping screw at each end corner.

Place a board on top of the resulting frame. Screw it with self-tapping screws around the perimeter of the beam; 2-3 bolts on one side will be more than enough.

To make your work easier, it is recommended Drill preliminary holes in the boards, into which it is much easier to screw self-tapping screws than into a solid board. To avoid protrusions of screw heads above wooden surface You can use a larger diameter drill to chamfer under their heads.

1.2 Creating a column for guides

The width of the board for the column must correspond to the width of the created base, the thickness is 20 mm, and the height is determined depending on the size of the drill used, as a rule, a height of 40-50 centimeters will be more than enough. An excessively high column can negatively affect the stability of the entire structure.

Once you have cut the board to the appropriate size, immediately attach it to the base using self-tapping screws. Next, you need to arrange the free space between the column itself and the electric drill; to do this, attach two pieces of timber, measuring 25*35*17 millimeters, parallel to each other, in the center of the upper part of the column.

To avoid making a mistake with the installation location, make preliminary markings. Draw a straight line from the center point of the top of the column down, then step back 50 mm on each side and draw two lines parallel to each other. The distance between the lines should be 100 mm.

Pay close attention to so that the lines are strictly parallel to each other, so even the slightest angle of inclination of the trajectory along which the guides move is fraught with the fact that the drill will not enter the work surface at a right angle, which is why when drilling hard metal surfaces thin drills will break very quickly.

1.3 Installation of guides

Installing guides is perhaps the most difficult part of creating a drilling machine with your own hands. It is extremely important that the guides run exactly perpendicular to the base of the machine and parallel to each other.

Prepare two boards measuring 100*250*20 mm, and mark on them the places where the retractable slats will be attached. Sold in furniture stores the retractable slats are already equipped with holes for self-tapping screws, so All you have to do is screw them to the guides with your own hands. After the slats are attached, we mount the guides on the column.

1.4 Creating mounts for a drill

We suggest you make a universal mount with your own hands, which is suitable for installing not only a mini-drill, but also a full-fledged electric drill. To do this, prepare a board with dimensions 60*100*20 for the upper holder, and 100*100*20 for the lower one.

Use a jigsaw to cut a hole in the center of the bottom board, the diameter of which is suitable for securely fixing your drill. Secure it to the guide using a furniture corner and self-tapping screws.

We also cut out the top holder using jigsaws. Its size and shape are individual and depend on what shape of drill you will use. We make holes around the perimeter of both clamps and screw in screws that will clamp and firmly fix the drill in the holder.

2 Making a height limiter

A height limiter is necessary so that a homemade drilling machine can make multiple holes of identical depth. Perfect for creating a limiter metal rod with M8 thread.

Drill a hole in the base in which the rod will be installed (it should be tightly fixed in the base, but at the same time rotate freely).

Next, we cut out a small piece of timber, drill a hole in it and install a threaded sleeve on one side, and a piece of rod that will limit the amplitude of movement of the guides on the other. We screw the beam onto the main rod.

For manual tabletop drilling the machine was more convenient to use, You need to make a handle on the restrictive rod.

It could be ordinary homemade stop made of plywood, which is fixedly fixed between two nuts.

2.1 Making a homemade drilling machine (video)

In order to save time, you can buy a ready-made inexpensive stand and vice for a drill in the OBI.RU store, which allows you to fix the drill in a vertical position and use it as a drilling machine, thereby increasing the accuracy and speed of work.

Characteristics:

height: 400 mm;
clamping hole diameter: 43 mm;
drilling depth: 60 mm;
The set includes a vice for fixing workpieces.
