Self-made adaptations for the home studio

The tool is never too much "- all who are engaged in construction or master something with their hands, heard this phrase. To adapt is invaluable when you need something to saw off, weld or join parts. Section on FORUMHOUSE about homemade machines and accessories, which is called "Self-made machines, tools and mechanisms" constantly updated with new releases, simplify and streamline the work of the builder or the "master of all trades."

We have already told how to make universal folding sawhorse and bench - assembly table. We continue this theme. Today we tell about the self-made lathes, metalworking and even garden tools.

Cutting machine of grinders

Self-made machines for the workshop are always in demand, but the angle grinders (angle grinder), by the people "Bulgarian", one of the favorites in the arsenal of any handyman. But the tool requires very careful to be treated, as any neglect Safety precautions when working with angle grinders It can lead to serious injury. Therefore, when large amounts of metal cutting (in the manufacture of intake valves or cutting) many prefer to work with a cutting machine for metal.

 You can buy on the Internet a frame for angle grinders, but to save money by cutting machine can be made independently of "unnecessary" or "extra" in the economy, "Bulgarian", which is almost every host country house. As we shall see, it is suitable not only for sharpening garden tools!

Ivici (User FORUMHOUSE):

I have angle grinders, weighing 5.5 kg. Once I started thinking how to simplify its use. After working with her, all the while moving, uncomfortable - quickly tired hands. I decided to make a comfortable cutting machine from what is.

Looking ahead, we say that the machine (more precisely, its second version) failed: saws smoothly and without distortions.

Ivici He made his way - he took a piece of sill number 6.5 (65 mm wide and 36 mm high). This - the basis of the machine.

More needed steel strip 50h5 mm. With it bolgarka fixed. Also needed profile trohmillimetrovy 4x2 cm piece of steel. As the bolt is a rotary axis "eight".

In the first embodiment of the machine as a rotary axis, a powerful hinge. However, due to welding, under heat, in the loop the entire burnt grease, and appeared at the node backlash.

According to the user said, the most difficult was accurately mark and drill the three holes 14 mm in diameter to bolt LBM for threaded holes, for mounting side handle.

Also I had to work and a round file. Small bore holes, due to the backlash, move the grinder allows little in the assembly process and to ascertain it. Once all the parts are ready, the user picked up welding "piece of iron", securing the grinder, assembled rough the entire structure, to verify all the corners and making sure that everything is installed, as it should, finally scalded all design.

Ivici (User FORUMHOUSE):

The machine is fastened to the support table (piece of slate 1 cm thick) with six screws. Of the return spring can be dispensed with, just to tighten the bolt axis. When cutting the workpiece no backlash, misalignment. Can be cut at an angle of 45 degrees.

Another homemade machine from angle grinders offer the user portal with the nickname Bistock.

As usual, the first we are aware that we need a self-made tools and devices some, and then start searching for the best solution. Well, do not buy the same!

Bistock (User FORUMHOUSE):

I decided to make a ladder of a metal. To avoid marriage backlash, discrepancies when cutting metal parts requiring maximum accuracy. So I decided, based on LBM, make sawing machine.

The case went all the things that are usually lying in the home studio (and throw a pity) zealous owner in anticipation of their star hour. As a frame for cutting machines Bistock I used a table from under the overlock.

Swivel hub is made of from "nine", as it has a bearing.

As in the above embodiment, most complex appeared to "catch" the right angle between the cutting disc and the thrust area. After all, this assembly precision metal cutting depends.

The end result visually dismantles photos presented below.

To turn on the grinder Bistock I make extra wiring - led an ordinary switch and socket, and already from this switch goes extension plug.
You can buy home-made machine from a friend craftsman, but much more correct to pump up to the creator tools of this level!

Bistock (User FORUMHOUSE):

I got a portable machine. To handle I welded area to get 3 points LBM support. Fastening on two bolts customized on site. I work only in goggles. The result of this work is very happy. For the manufacture of the machine did not buy anything extra. The cut comes just below 90 °.

Budget drills

In addition to cutting machines, various popular tools for drilling holes in the metal. Starting from stationary drilling machines and finishing devices in which the fixed conventional drill as "Drillers" FORUMHOUSE user with the nickname g8o8r8.

g8o8r8 (User FORUMHOUSE):

In the drilling time in the large metal plurality of similar holes I to unload arms made copybook device based clamp welded to the metal support, and a pair of clamps for rigid fixation drill. Now drill the area or channel has become much easier.

At the user's words, 1 drilling holes with a diameter of 4-5 mm takes no more than 30 seconds. Having decided to repeat such a structure, it should be remembered that on the drill significantly increases the load due to increased volume of work. g8o8r8 his drill went through twice already.

The user, on the basis of the electric motor, made a small stanochek - "vertikalku" for drilling holes up to 4 mm in the printed circuit boards.

g8o8r8 (User FORUMHOUSE):

Long spindle compensates for the inaccuracy of the bore under the yoke bearings. For amateur use of such a machine is quite good. The accuracy of drilling remains at an acceptable level.

In the absence of the welding machine to gather the required device in the household can be bolted.

Hand trowel for concrete

No less than home-made machines for home workshop, are important tools for construction and repair.

Anyone who has ever faced the concrete work, knows how difficult it is to make amends for the mixture to freshly laid, the ideal state. If small areas you can get correct, the filling area in front of the house or parking for the car, a common tool is indispensable. Help comes trowel for concrete, which due to the long arm (from 3 to 12 m) makes it possible to make amends for the concrete over a larger area, without stepping on the screed surface.

The principle of operation of such a device, something resembling a mop, simple. A work profile (it is called "wings"), fitted on a long handle. When moving away from you at the floats, due to the gearbox, the user lifts the opposite edge. That is, due to the angle "wing" ironing slides on concrete, instead of collecting it in front of himself. When driving to her, on the contrary, ride up the side facing the worker and trowel again smoothes concrete.

Despite the simplicity of the device, its price can not be called humane. It is spodviglo ronik55 share the experience of his father, to make trowel for concrete, spending just 500 rubles.

ronik55 (User FORUMHOUSE):

I know from my own experience how difficult it is perfectly smooth down the concrete. Go out and buy for 10 thousand. I did not want to rub. As a result, my father made a cheap device for smoothing down of concrete from virtually waste - all unnecessary things.

The following photos demonstrate how to construct such an ironing board. Take the metal profile (size depends on the smoothed area), it is welded to transverse ribs, which, in turn, are fixed hinge assemblies, made of pipes.

The most important element, which varies due to the angle of ascent "wing" - a rotary gear with a chain.

When rotating the handle chain wound onto the tube, and one end is lifted trowels.

After spending a trowel to a final point, we rotate the handle in the opposite direction. The chain is wound again, and lifted the edge of trowel, addressed to the user.

Pull the trowel over and repeat the process until you finish the job.

ronik55(User FORUMHOUSE):

Due compound "pipe in pipe" and locking cotter pin, can increase the length of the handle at its discretion. A similar design is easy to assemble by yourself.

Garden sprayer and Clamp

It all started with the fact that Metamorf required to process the section from mites and old hand sprayer ordered to live long. Urgently needed to buy a new or find a replacement. In preparation for processing and thinking about what can be done by the user of our portal came across an unnecessary fire extinguisher, overlooked in the economy.

Next act so - carefully untwist fire extinguisher, pour the powder residue and wash water tank. Instead socket adapter is screwed, which, depending on the need, can be screwed nipple (air injection) or nozzle (spray mixture).

Metamorf (User FORUMHOUSE):

Use spray - homemade is very simple: fill half the special fire extinguisher liquid spray, it was then pumped air atomizer and fasten go veer mites.

Joiner's tools with their own hands

Let's move on and go to the carpenter's fixtures. Who engaged in "woodwork"Will appreciate the budget Clamps - indispensable for any carpenter's tool for bonding wooden panels.

QWEsad (User FORUMHOUSE):

Once it took me a lot of glue boards of wood. Clamp I did not. So I decided to hastily assemble Clamps of wooden bars section of 5x5 cm and metal plates with welded nuts "tens".

Total produced by such vajmy 3, it was enough to shield the gluing of wood 1.5h1.7 m size and 18 mm thickness. To bars are not sticking to the workpiece at the places where there is a seam, and may protrusion of glue, you can put a newspaper or shoot stapler polyethylene.

In order not to spoil the workpiece, under the plate, which rests on the screw, it is necessary to enclose the gasket. The width of the gluing is adjusted by moving the stop bar.

Homemade tools on woodconstantly improved. A more advanced version of vajmy made entirely of metal, offers Alano.
Components and operating principle of devices demonstrate the following photos.

For the manufacture of such vajmy need welding machine.

On FORUMHOUSE you will find other design and even drawings improvised devices .

Cyclone for the carpentry shop on the basis of the vacuum cleaner

And at the end of the material offer our readers Pictures of the home-made cyclones, which are necessary when the device joinery.

Option 1

zalman3000 (User FORUMHOUSE):

My first cyclone out of order, and I decided to make a new one. For everything it took 20 minutes. To make it, I took a used bucket from under the putty and connecting fittings for polyethylene pipes. They hold better and twist quickly, providing the assembly tightness.

As the filter member used oil filter from "Muscovite".

That's what happened in the end.

option 2

ArtBern (User FORUMHOUSE):

And here is my version of the construction of a vacuum cleaner with a cyclone. For increased durability bucket inside. It turned out that for my grinders excellent drainage hose from the washing machine.

Summarizing, we say, to make home-made machine tools and high-level tools that need to be able Just look at the seemingly unnecessary stuff home from the garage, and the board of the carpenter's shop with fresh look. The real master and master everything should go into business, and showing fiction and fantasy can be significantly cut back on buying expensive "adapt" the expenses required for one-time or infrequent work.
