In the manufacture of various home-made products in a home workshop or in a garage, you often have to refine yourself to make holes in round and shaped pipes, as well as in metal rods and studs.
To save time, the author proposes to make a very simple device that will simplify the task. This device is a small platform with a V-shaped "groove" in the center.
First of all, it will be necessary to cut a rectangular shape from sheet metal. Also, sharp work angles must be cut off from the workpiece, so that during operation you do not accidentally hook them with your hand.
The main stages of work
At the next stage, the master marks the places of future holes on a metal plate, and then drills them with a drill of a suitable diameter. These holes will be under the bolts with which the platform will be attached to the table of the drilling machine.
Next, you need to cut two equal length corners. They need to be placed in the center of the plate, and then welded.
Then it remains only to clean the welds with a grinder with a petal circle or another way convenient for you. If desired, the resulting device can be painted, although this is not clearly necessary.
For details on how to make your own hands a simple device for convenient work on a drilling machine, we recommend that you look in the video on the site.
