How To Make Hand Drill Press From Profile Pipes And Bearings | DIY TOOL

Make easy drill press stand with radial ball bearings and profile pipes. You can make simple linear bearing mechanism which provide easy and rigid linear motion. It cost me about 5-10eur in materials and some free time on weekend and now i can drill straight holes with drill press stand :)
List of materials for drill press : (lengths are specified in the video)
Steel profile pipe 20x20x2,5mm
Steel profile pipe 25x25x2mm
Steel profile pipe 15x15x1,5mm
Steel flat bar 60x10mm
Steel flat bar 25x5mm
Steel flat bar 20x4mm
Steel rod 8mm
M8 Nuts
M8 Nuts with neilon
M8 Bolts
M8 Threaded rod for making longer bolts
M8 washers and spring washers
608.2RS(8*22*7mm) Bearings. They are most common bearing and they are everywhere (skateboards, rollerblades, tools etc...) and of course are very cheap

For base i used U-profile, but you can use plywood or screw to directly to table.

If you have any questions about this video, ask me i will try to answer :)

[@Comrade79]

my drîll bosch gsb 550, what bearing code should i use to make the clamp?

[@Comrade79]

diameter is 43mm

[@craftzars]

@@Comrade79 just like mine, i used 62304 bearing with 52mm outside diameter, i think you can also use 6304, 6205, 62205, 1304, 2304.

[@Comrade79]

thx bro

[@expunkermikey]

That is the most creative use for that style diy linear slide I have seen yet. I shall now re-imagine another solution for a future project on the drawing board. Thank you!

[@freon500]

I like your design idea and will use it, if I may, to build a similar drill press. The one I have in mind is to drill through up to 1/2" (13 mm) steel plate and 3" tubular steel, wish me luck. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to make this drill-press and to record, edit and post this great video.

I'm very happy found this awesome DIY channel. Love so much every single projects. More DIY projects please. Thanks you. Greeting from Indonesia.

[@craftzars]

Thank you. I'll post again soon, but I still can't decide what kind of video I like to make. i will definitely try some tool restoration vidoes. and don't know if the upcoming diy videos will be as detailed as it takes more time

[@user-je3bk8uu2k]

خیلی عالی مرسی

[@diddlysquids4472]

Love your editing skills. Really good video and great design for homemade drill press. Best DIY one I have seen, well done!

[@craftzars]

Thank you for your kind words 😊

[@craftzars]

And i use it often, because thats a only drill press i got at the moment. And its hard to drill 90degree bore straight from hand.

[@A_Stereotypical_Heretic]

Dude lol always start your bit running backwards, or counter clockwise when stepping up a hole in metal... Or even wood for that matter... Then drill forward. Reduces the helicopters.

[@craftzars]

Thanks for the tip, will try!

[@praveenagarwal8159]

I am new suscriber, found your channel awesome. :) I am thinking if we could redesign it a bit so that it can house angle grinder as well and then can be used as grinder slider. I mean kind of combine this design and your angle grinder slider design(which you made in another video).. It will be then great reruse of parts and will be cost wffective as well

[@craftzars]

Sliding drill press? 😅 i will think about it

[@praveenagarwal8159]

@@craftzars what I meant is to use this slider mechanism part vertically for drill press and horizontally for angle grinder guide.

[@ghghghkkkkkkkkkkkkkk]

Why did you bolt the plate with the shafts on to the bottom plate rather than welding them? Also do you notice any issues with having the pull handle on one side only? (i might expect some non linear motion) Awsome vid!

[@craftzars]

I like that it can be disassembled to be put aside if not needed, or easily modified

[@craftzars]

standard bench drills are also only lever on the right side

[@ghghghkkkkkkkkkkkkkk]

@@craftzars thank you for the fast responses.It helps alot. Bravo sir!

[@thanho6654]

What the drill that you used ? It work ok with low speed

[@craftzars]

It was not expensive one. And on fix position its little to fast, so i will make update video with speed control on handle.

[@LordsMikluks]

PAINT IT ! :)

[@craftzars]

I cant choose a color :E

[@thanho6654]

For me . 16 bearings are so much . I think i have idea about 8 bearings but still sure 😊

[@craftzars]

Will work with 8 bearings too. I just wanted extra rigidity but dont need that because hand drill chuck moves anyway.

[@craftzars]

And i got these bearings extra cheap for 0.20euro piece

[@damianpinza9834]

@@craftzars Why is the chuck moving anyway? I think it is excellent..

[@craftzars]

@@damianpinza9834 dont know about all handrills, but they chucks move/woble. And this drill have hammer function so if drill have solid/stiff type bearings , they will be damaged taking all hits or something like that 🤷

[@damianpinza9834]

@@craftzars ok i understand but the structure is strong maybe with a new or quality drill

[@al-elchannel5898]

The size of unp board ?? How thick is ?

[@craftzars]

i think it was scrap piece from UNP180 prnt.sc/10by512

[@mara69323]

Good quality but, too much expensive and waste.... You can use ordinary tube other than bearings....

[@craftzars]

🤔these bearings is super cheap, with just a tube there will be to much friction and i lost all precision what i got now...

[@lecobra418]

Meh. It would be way cheaper and more convenient to simply buy a 20€ drill guide/stand. It's nice and everything but I don't see why would anyone be doing this.

[@craftzars]

if i count only materials it cost less than 20eur. and cheapest drill guides are terribly made wobbly crap

[@expunkermikey]

Why? Because we can. And it's fun. And we can spend that same 20 Pazoozas at the Country Diner on a big breakfast before we start our projects!
