How best to orient the cutting machine from a Bulgarian?
There are several advantages in fixing a bolgar on a rigid frame, the main one of which is releasing hands. At the same time, the load does not fall on them, but on the tool stand, which does not get tired and does not tremble with fatigue. Minimizes the risk that the grinder will be knocked out of the hands of .As for the position in space, the angle at which the bolgar should be fixed, then there are many options, at your disposal all 360 degrees. The way of fastening in most models is provided - on the gearbox body there are threaded holes.
When installing the grinder on a stand, it is necessary to take into account the electrical insulation of the tool from the structure to which the installation is carried out.
However, there is a difference in positioning, the advantage of this or that provision is, for the most part, convenience and safety of work. Also, at what angle to put the instrument, depends on the purpose of your future machine. For example, if you want to get a grinding option, it's best to secure the machine at an angle of 45 degrees, so that the fixing nut is located above the countertop, and the bottom edge of the disc is drowned in a specially made slot.
Two options are available for sawing the material pressed against the worktop. Firstly, when the bulgarian is under the countertop, above the surface of which there is only the upper edge of the disk in a narrow slot. And, secondly, when the tool is fixed above the countertop and the edge of the disk, on the contrary, is slightly recessed into the previously provided slot. The method of fixing the grinding machine horizontally is rather inconvenient, since it is necessary to work without a stop, the material will be retained only by your hands.
How is the stand for the Bulgarian made?
If you decide to turn your grinder into a machine, do not doubt the correctness of your solution. At the stationary unit there are always advantages over the hand tool, the main thing is not to neglect the protection measures of .But let's get down to business. So, if we want to make a grinding machine, we will need to remove the nozzle almost completely above the work platform intended for placing material on it. And this means that we place the bulgark at an angle, with a reducer up.
To the wooden box or side wall of the workbench, tilt the bolt with a length of bar so that the handle of the bolgar fixed to it with the help of the corner of the Bulgarian is moved out of the wooden base. In the drawer or tabletop we cut out the slot for the disc, at a short distance from it we fasten the folding wooden board, the thickness of which is to lift the grinded workpiece over the fixing nut of the tool bit.
If you are having trouble making a self-made bed for a Bulgarian, you do not have to do it yourself, you can buy a ready-made, actually, threaded holes on the reducer made just for the factory racks for the tool. Or you can use your own workbench instead of the base. For example, you can fix the grinding machine under the table top, removing the cutting wheel through the cut slot. Now, even with the protective cover removed, you will be safe during operation, the table top closes you in case of something from debris.
Homemade wood grinder for tiling
To cut artificial stone, concrete paving blocks or other elements of paving and facing, you need to use not only a dry method with a petal diamond wheel, but also wet cutting. For this purpose, a solid disk is best suited, however, if you decide to use a homemade grinder, all the above methods of securing the grinder do not suit you. The fact is that electromechanical tools are completely incompatible with water.
In order not to ruin an expensive unit( even if it's budgetary, it's still insulting), make a vertical base above the countertop and attach the reducer to the bottom of the reducer. Ideally, it is best to prepare two metal racks from a rectangular metal profile with welded bottom plates, on which there must be at least 3 bolt holes. We mount the racks on the workbench.
To the supports we mount the slide rails under the rollers, which, respectively, attach to the bulgarian. Wheels should be oriented in the opposite direction, that is, if the lower ones are on the skid, the upper ones are supported from below. All this construction should be located at such a height from the countertop, so that a cutting disc is loaded into it, or rather, into a previously prepared slot. Now, to saw off the tile, fix it firmly enough in the stop and move the working bulgark from its place.
