How to choose the holder?
Especially for solving complex problems there are different guides and racks. With their use, the accuracy of operation is significantly increased, and the load on the operator is also reduced. In addition, if you insert a milling cutter instead of a drill, you can use the tool as a milling tool. If you use a tripod for a drill, a small drilling tool is produced from the tool, and its quality, in many ways, depends on the rack itself.
Therefore, deciding to buy a tripod, pay attention to the play of moving parts, fastening and the magnitude of the stroke. The golden rule: the heavier the rack, the better. In its complete set there can be a special fastening of a drill to a table, in case of its absence the fastening can be bought separately. The main thing is that in the design it was possible to mount the mount.
Important! When choosing a tripod, consult with a specialist on this issue.
The guide is very important for the clarity of the work. Its functions are similar to the purpose of the tripod, but the guide allows you to drill not only the parts that are placed on its work surface, but others. Some models can change the tilt angle, allowing you to make more complex holes.
Mobility and lightness
A separate category is a portable drill stand. It is used in situations where it is necessary to make holes on a narrow edge or in a confined space. This is a simple and stable design, fastened to a drill. It provides the base on which the tool is mounted.
Portable stands are divided into so many types that you can choose the one that is ideal for the anticipated work front. It is necessary to choose only high-quality manufacturers, the mechanism with various additional functions( adjustment of drilling depth, angle of inclination, and so on).This will make the tool as universal as possible.
Portable drill stand is very useful for drilling pipes and round bars. In the lower and upper sides of the base there are special grooves for this, which simplify the work on curved surfaces. Moves the mechanism vertically down. Portable retainer for the drill, although it is relatively small, but retains and directs the tool, it is not worse than large mechanisms.
Tip! A portable mechanism is only needed for specific tasks, so if you plan a simple drilling, it is better to choose a conventional drill support.
Holder for a drill, is it necessary to buy?
The choice of various fixatives in our market is huge, but if you do not want to buy it, you can make it yourself. Such a design is made quite easily, has a low weight and is very effective. To do this, you need a chipboard, boards or sheet metal to make the base and holder. It is important, during operation, to reach the tool setting exactly 90 degrees. Everything is done in the following order:
- The guides are prepared strictly in the vertical position. For this, wood or metal is used, the main thing is that there are no distortions and no play;
- The site is not attached, it moves freely;
- After assembling the structure, a drill bracket is made to hold the tool;
- The guides are mounted parallel to each other and perpendicular to the base;
- In order to automatically raise the tool after reducing the pressure, springs are put.
Note! As a guide it is better to use a metal profile, as it is more reliable.
