Project details
Description
In this project, a DIY manual drill press base is developed, designed based on Rock and Fix homemade Youtube video that shows the construction process step by step. The base is made using accessible materials and common workshop tools, making it accessible and cost-effective for DIY enthusiasts. Detailed plans and precise measurements are provided so that users can easily replicate the design and obtain a functional and sturdy base for their manual drill, allowing them to carry out precise and safe drilling in their DIY projects.
Technical data
Based on the technical characteristics of some commercial equipment used in workshops, the following characteristics or requirements were extracted:
- Clamp diameter: 38-43mm
- Base size: 150-200mm
- Maximum clamp height: 250-350mm
- Drilling career: 150-170mm
- Leverage: 1:6
- Mobile platform in z axis: Yes, sliding
- Return Mechanism: Yes, compression spring
- Feed stop: Yes

Tests, practical applications
After fabricating the drill base, the equipment was tested, which included:
- Lateral clearance: Apply moderate force on the lever, from left to right and vice versa, alternately.
- Front clearance: Apply moderate force on the lever only from top to bottom, alternately pressing the drill bit against the sample piece or other less hard piece.
- Main test: Drill holes in the test plate, using a 3/8" or 1/2" drill bit. (In the editing of the video a text or voice should be included, indicating the size of the drill bit used.)
- Measurement of the borehole:
- Measure with a vernier the diameter of the hole (to verify accuracy)
- Turn the vernier 90° horizontally and repeat this measurement (this is to verify circularity).
