Do-it-yourself drill stand. Stands and organizers for drills: do it yourself and store drills correctly

Good day, brain! A workshop, when disordered, is not a workshop at all. And this article is devoted to the topic of “ordering” the tool, in which I collected 9 not quite conventional ways storage of improvised tools for your brain workshop. I guarantee they will fit any instrument that has ever existed on planet Earth!

In the fall of 2015, I created The Ultimate Magnetic Pegboard, but as time went on, I had even more tools, which meant I needed another one. homemade for orderly storage of this very instrument. In this brainguide I will talk about some of the fixtures that I equipped with a new board with a tool.

So let's go!

Step 1: Kitchen Towel Dispenser Why Not a Clip Holder?

My grandma gave me a dispenser for paper towels and I decided to put it into action. The stem of this dispenser was plastic and didn't support the weight of the clamps, so I replaced it with a metal guide from an old one. brain printer, which I cut to the length I needed * and using epoxy resin glued to it on the sides of the attachment.

When mounting this resulting clamp bar to the board, I used small wooden shims to get more space and make it easier to remove/engage these clips. It should be noted that the clamps are quite heavy, so the more screws you use when attaching the crossbar, the more reliable it will be.

To be honest, this way of storing clamps is much simpler than all other options for clamping rails.

* I cut the guide almost half as long as I needed, so that there was room for others brainclamps which I plan to purchase in the near future.

On my crossbar from the kitchen towel dispenser fit:

• 3 15cm clothespins
• 10cm clamp
• 5 cm clamp.

And there is room for many more to come soon!

Step 2: What about tie-down clamps than holders?

Tie ties have a wide range of uses, so why not use them as holders? I drilled a couple of holes in the storage board, threaded a clamp through them (the size of which depends on the size of the tool that is planned to be placed in it). tightened it with reverse side board and inserted the tool. Everything is simple!

So in a brainy way you can store a soldering iron, drill and much more! In case you plan to place a heavier tool in this way (for example, a drill), then it will be more expedient to use a metal clamp.

With the help of "clamp holders" I have stored:

• large metal tweezers (because it doesn't stick to a magnet)
• small plastic tweezers.

Step 3: What about the heatsink?

This idea came to me in November 2015 and I implemented it to place my plastic tweezers by attaching this holder directly to the wall above the Magnetic Board. I attached the radiator with double-sided tape so that its fins were vertical, and hung tweezers on them, with some of the fins acting as separators!

I "obtained" this radiator from my game console, about which there is even a whole brainguide.
On my "radiator" holder are placed:

• 5 different plastic ESD tweezers.

Step 4: Magnets in action!

I think you have already seen my board Ultimate Magnetic Pegboard, if not, I advise you to check it out!

And in my new tool storage board, I also used magnets "mined" from the speakers, which I glued to it with hot glue. This type of holder is quite easy to make, you just need to understand where brainboards each instrument will be placed.

With the help of my "magnetic" holders are stored:

• large peeling planer
• small peeling planer
• large needle nose pliers
• wire cutters
• flat needle nose pliers
• curved needle nose pliers
• ordinary needle nose pliers
• carpentry punch.

Step 5: Don't Forget the Straight Hooks

Of the screw-in hooks, I prefer right-angled ones, they better hold a massive tool, for example, shown in the photo, a large rasp with a massive handle, but even its size does not help rounded hooks to hold the rasp.

But with the help of straight hooks, your tool is very easy to store, try this brainwave and find out what it's all about!

This is not visible in the photo, but I also screwed the hooks from below, as “locks” that prevent the saw from falling out, no matter what.

On my "hook" holders are stored:

• brushes (no, I don't paint, they serve me for something else)
• large rasp
• large file
• hacksaw
• and my microscope homemade .

Step 6: And Styrofoam Comes in Handy

Believe it or not, I used styrofoam to store my drills. It is very soft, light weight and easy to cut, making it great for storing small tools such as drills, needle files, small screwdrivers, pencils, etc.!

About how I built a foam drill holder, I created a separate brainguide.

A similar storage device can also be made of wood, while the foam will serve good material for a prototype crafts.

Step 7: And of course the little shelves!

A device called the "French plank" is certainly "cool", but to my regret, I do not have the opportunity to do this.

Therefore, I decided to attach a board to the storage board at an angle of 90 degrees using small corners.

On my "mini-shelf" are placed:

• my homemade magnetic silicone grips for vise jaws (because I decided not to use them on vise anymore)
• two different whetstones
• nail clippers (although it may be better to use metal shears for this purpose)
• multitool the size of a credit card
• phone flashlight.

Step 8: Even a toilet paper roll can be used!

I have to admit, the idea is really strange...

I cut a hole in the sleeve from the roll of paper, then cut it in half and attached it to the board.
I now use this device only for storing my mallet- homemade, it weighs little and the "paper" holder only flexes slightly. Obviously, for a heavier instrument, this method will not work ...

Step 9: Another Mini Shelf With Holes

To create this brain holder I was recently inspired by one.

Drills are used as a two-toothed cutting tool for making holes in various solid materials, including metal. They also ream previously drilled surfaces. They are made of high-speed steel and hard alloy, have different stiffness parameters, sizes and resistance. The most popular are spiral devices. There are also feather, with straight grooves, centering and stepped (combined). Operating parameters drills depend on the material from which it is made, as well as on the characteristics of heat treatment. Like other cutting tools, drills tend to wear out due to long service life, as well as due to incorrect cutting conditions. Most often, the back surface, ribbons and corners wear out, rarely the front surface. The wear rate is directly affected by the durability of the drill, so it is very important to know how to store the drill.

The durability of the device, as well as the life of the drill, is affected by the operating time of the device in minutes before blunting. The points of transition of the main cutting edges to the auxiliary ones, which are also called ribbons, are most subject to wear.

Service life is also affected by performance characteristics, how:

1. Roughness of the surface of the cutting part of the tool;
2. Quality of heat treatment;
3. Cutting speed;
4. Innings;
5. Use of coolant.

If these parameters are not maintained, then you will have to deal with the consequences of improper use, as well as improper storage of the tool. Improper storage contributes to the adherence of debris particles to the tool, wear of its elements, as well as the beating of the blades.

Ways to properly store metal drills

How to store drills? Storage of drills involves the use of:

• pencil cases;
• stands made of wood;
• plexiglass.

These are all special convenient storage stands that perform the function of protecting devices. Impregnated wooden coasters from http://permachink.by/propitki-dlya-dereva are structures that combine several sheets of plywood, two of which perform the function of positioning, and the third - the bottom. Without removing the drill from this stand, it can be wiped from dust and debris. Stands are a wooden block, in which special holes are drilled for the elements of the device. The holes have the appropriate diameter. Used to avoid loss of structure.

Special plywood cases and wooden stands prevent possible sticking of metal particles, debris and dust particles on the tool. They also protect against increased runout of the drill blades, excessive wear on corners and edges, and possible damage and dullness.

Supports can also be made of transparent plexiglass, which is attached to the device so that during operation on the underside drilled hole no chips appeared.

Manufacturing technology of a wooden stand

In order for the tool to always be in place and at hand, you can independently make a wooden support. For this you will need:

1. Choose the size of a suitable plywood sheet for the device. Optimal size wooden plank- thickness 2.5 cm, width 6 cm, length 20-30 cm.
2. Drill a few holes for fastening in the corners of the sheet.
3. Cut the wooden blocks into strips, they must have the required length.
4. Drill holes that will match their diameter with the diameter of the drills - from smallest to largest. Drills should be placed in several rows, each row is a certain diameter. When drilling tool holes with a certain diameter, use a gimlet that will have a slightly larger diameter of 1.5 mm in order to ensure ease of insertion and removal of the device.
5. Treat the support with sandpaper.

The device can be hung on the wall in the workshop by nailing it.

With proper storage of cutting attachments, you will not need to sharpen them regularly.

How to store drills - storing drills on a wooden stand: Video

Homemade stand for drills with the possibility of hanging on the wall and quite convenient to use, which is quite simple to make literally from trash.

Today I want to show you how you can literally make a fairly simple and convenient stand for twist drills out of junk. Moreover, for this you need only a small board and one or more cardboard bags from under milk or juice.

I must say that I am now slowly equipping a new workshop in a newly built barn. At the same time, I constantly have to collect various tool, which was at one time (when the old barn was demolished), temporarily stuffed into other sheds, a garage, verandas, a house, etc.

And now my hands have just reached the drills. I decided to put together all the metal drills and, in order to make them convenient to use, make convenient stands for them that can be hung on the wall in the new workshop.

I decided to start with the smallest diameter drills. Moreover, many of these drills were bought by me a few years ago and still have not been used or even unpacked.

So, to make stands for drills, we need the following accessories:

Materials and fasteners:
A small board 2.5 cm thick, 6 cm wide, and 20 - 30 cm long.
Milk or juice cartons.
Tools:
Drawing and measuring tools (pencil and square, as well as calipers for measuring drill diameters).
Awl.
Scissors
Electric jigsaw with wood saw.
Electric drill.
Drills for metal of different diameters.
Spherical cutter for wood.
Sandpaper.

First, we mark the board, from which we will make coasters.

The size of each stand should be such that it fits into a milk carton. In my case, the dimensions of the stand are 6x9 cm.

I decided to make two stands, one for the smallest drills with a diameter of 1.5 to 3.5 mm, (in 0.5 mm increments.) And another for drills with a diameter of 4 to 5.5 mm. Moreover, the drills will be located in stands in several rows. In each row there will be drills of the same diameter (for stock).

As for smaller drills (0.5-1 mm in diameter), they are very small and, as a rule, are practically not used in the workshop, and for larger drills, such stands will be too small.

By the way, I want to especially note that holes for drills of a certain diameter must be drilled with drills with a slightly larger diameter (about 1-1.5 mm.). So, for example, holes for drills with a diameter of 1.5 mm, I drilled with a drill with a diameter of 2.5 mm, for a drill with a diameter of 2 mm, with a drill with a diameter of 3 mm, etc. This is done so that the drills can be easily inserted and removed from the holes.

After we have drilled the holes, we countersink them with a spherical wood cutter in order to make it more convenient to insert the drills into the holes of the stands.

Then we process our coasters with sandpaper.
And now the blanks of our coasters are ready!

Initially, I did not plan to make the bottoms of these coasters. But at this stage of production, I decided to make a bottom for each coaster, since in this case it will be much more convenient to use the coasters.
I made the bottoms from two pieces of hardboard, fitting them with a chisel to the size of the coasters.

Then I nailed them to the stands with small nails.

And here are the finished stands!

I inserted drills into one of the stands in order to figure out how it would look. It turned out pretty good!

Well, now we need to make convenient holders from milk cartons or, more precisely, hangers for our coasters so that they can be hung on the wall.

To do this, we take scissors and cut out the suspensions of the shape we need.

Then we make holes in the back walls for hanging. For this, I used a punch. But in principle, if there is no punch, then it is quite possible to make such holes with a drill or a clerical knife.

And now the hangers are ready!

But that's not all.
I decided to make inscriptions on each cardboard box to indicate the diameters of the drills. To do this, I made on a computer, and then printed on a printer, these are the signs.

Then I cut them out and glued them with adhesive tape to each box.
Then I inserted drills of the appropriate diameters.
And here are the finished stands with drills!
