Awesome job for a simplified and basic power driven table. One thing could make it even better is to use a dc geared motor with a control that has reverse voltage and speed control. This would streamline the back and forth process. For making understandable and simplifying the concept, you have done a major service to hobbyists. Thank you for your kind sharing.

Hi there, we bought a mini mill from HF for our school. Can you possibly share the X, Y Z-axis (especially Z-axis) bracket technical drawings with me if you have them available? If you need my email address, please let me know. Take care.

You can use a corded drill from Harbor Freight tools. Drill Master 3/8 variable speed reversible drill (60615)They have one with the collar for a support handle. That is the one I used and the link is for Amazon's version (which is the same drill). At the time I made the video, I was an Amazon affiliate.

Is that box at 6:40 a drill speed controller kit? How do you reverse the drill? Is it a forward/reverse drill?
@suzettekendal6063
@suzettekendal6063 4 жыл бұрын
The box is a router speed controller available at Harbor Freight Tools . I reverse the power feed by switching the direction switch on the drill.

I think I've retired for too long now, I am starting to forget things. 😣 Correction: I've just found out, yes you can reverse a mains drill. Silly me. 🙄 But, how did you wire it to make the drill go in reverse? Are there any instructions?

Does the handle still turn easily with the drill connected all the time? This definitely seems simpler than a lot of the other videos I've seen which require clutch mechanisms.

There is some resistance from the drill but it does turn fairly easily.
