Drilling machine with his own hands from the drill - drawings, video, Photo
It is advisable to make a drilling machine with your own hands in those situations, when in a home workshop or garage there is a need to drill holes in parts of different configurations, as well as made of different materials. It should be noted, that such a device allows you to get holes with a fairly high level of quality.
One of the options for making a homemade drilling machine
When you need a homemade drilling machine
At production or repair enterprises, where the drilling operation is considered the most common, a special device is used to perform it, whose models may have different functionality. So, it can be a compact bench-top drilling machine, has a simple design, or equipment, equipped with several working spindles and numerical program control.
The main design elements of a homemade machine
For drilling holes in different materials, which is performed in a home workshop or garage, you can use the equipment, made with their own hands. Naturally, that for home use you need the simplest device, which can be made from components and materials, located in almost any garage or home workshop.
And in this article we will not leave unanswered the question of that, how to make a drilling machine at home, while spending a minimum of money. Drawings and experience of many masters will help us in this, who have already passed this way.
The need for such a mini drilling equipment for metal, wood or plastic most often occurs in those, who are accustomed to perform various repairs in their house or apartment. Radio amateurs are also often involved in the construction of miniature drilling machines.
It would seem, you can use an ordinary drill to perform this operation, but such a tool is not always able to provide the required quality and accuracy of repair operations. Homemade drilling machine, in addition to its compactness, has another important quality: it is possible to install drills of different types.
Simple drilling mini-machine for small jobs
Drilling machine from an ordinary drill
To make for your home workshop small, but a functional drilling machine, no need to buy special materials and components. The design of such a convenient and useful desktop device includes the following components:
- basis, which is also called a bed;
- mechanism, which ensures the rotation of the working tool (an ordinary drill can be used as such a mechanism);
- device for providing supply;
- vertical rack, on which the mechanism of rotation is fixed.
Scheme of a homemade drill machine
Rack, on which the drill will be attached, can be made from chipboard. This material is quite capable of withstanding the weight of such a device. The frame of such a mini machine should be more massive, as it protects the whole structure from vibration, which can adversely affect the quality and accuracy of the resulting hole, and on the comfort of work.
As a material of a bed of such drilling and filler machine it is possible to use a usual furniture plate, the thickness of which is greater 2 div. It is most convenient to use the base of an old magnifier for this purpose, slightly refining its design. Sometimes an old microscope is used, but this is a rather rare option, as such a unit will not be large enough and its use will be limited.

They, what quality and accuracy will be provided by the self-made drilling machine, depends mainly on that, how correctly and reliably the connection between its base and the vertical post is made. Two guides are important elements of such a micro machine, on which the block with the drill fixed on it will move. Such guides are best made of two strips of steel, which must be securely fastened to the rack with screws.
When making pads, it is desirable to use steel clamps, which will securely fix the drill on it. in addition, to avoid unwanted vibration processes when drilling at the junction of the pad and drill, you must install a gasket made of thick rubber.
After that it is necessary to make the mechanism of giving of such mini machine, which must ensure the movement of the electric drill in the vertical direction. Schemes of manufacturing such a mechanism may be different, but it traditionally contains a lever and a spring in its design, which is attached at one end to the rack, and the second - to the pad with a drill. This spring gives the feed mechanism more rigidity.
Drilling machine with drill, which is not planned to be removed from it, can be made more convenient in operation, if you disassemble the native drill switch 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 on and off the device. As you can see, drilling machine with a drill is quite easy to make, to do this, just read these instructions carefully or watch the training videos in this article.
An example of a drill machine in more detail
As an example, consider in more detail one of the options for a homemade drill from a drill, collected at home.
Drilling machine with drill, assembled with his own hands
Manufacture of a machine using an induction motor
The lack of an extra electric drill on the farm is not a reason for that, to abandon the idea of making a drilling machine with your own hands. Any electric motor can be used to drive the rotation mechanism of such equipment. Such engines, which were previously installed on various equipment, will probably be in the garage or workshop of any home craftsman.
Asynchronous motors are best suited for making a mini drilling machine, which are equipped with washing machines. If you have such an engine, you can confidently use it to make home drilling equipment. To make the drilling equipment with such engine in house conditions is a little more difficult, than using a drill, but the power of such a machine will be much higher.
Given that fact, that the weight of the induction motor is greater, than the mass of an ordinary drill, you need a stronger base and rack to accommodate the feed mechanism.
That such mini drilling and filler machine vibrated less in the course of work, it is necessary to install the engine on a powerful basis and to place as close as possible to a rack. But here it is important to maintain the correct distance, as the convenience of installation of a belt drive depends on it, due to which the rotation from the engine will be transmitted to the drilling head.
So that you can make such a machine at home, you will need the following design elements:
- gear;
- hexagon, on which the pulley will be put;
- two bearings;
- tubes in the amount of two pieces, one of which must be internally threaded;
- clamping ring, which must be made of strong steel.
The hexagon is also connected to a metal tube, bearing and clamping ring. This connection must be very reliable, so that the resulting node is not destroyed during operation.
Drilling machine with induction motor
Mechanism, necessary to ensure the supply of the tool in such a mini machine, should consist of a tube, on which pre-saws are made, and gears. The tube will move due to the connection of its teeth with these saws. In this tube, the height of which must correspond to the value of the required tool feed, then the axis with a hexagon is pressed in.
An example of a drilling machine with an induction motor
Consider one of the very serious options for homemade drilling machine with induction motor, made clearly not a novice. Some home builders take the risk of embarking on such a project, but if, what is called, to harden, then nothing is impossible.
Easy to manufacture homemade machine with induction motor
Quite obviously, that to make such a machine is quite difficult, and even more difficult then to ensure the accuracy of its work. Therefore, the best option is to use an electric drill to make a home drilling machine.
Finally, we suggest you watch a couple more videos, in which masters demonstrate their homemade drilling machines. These videos once again prove, that to collect the necessary equipment with own hands is always real, although sometimes difficult.
