STRUG

STRUGThe knives or Strug indispensable when machining curved surfaces. To make them simply — it will only have an old file with a length of about 200 mm. In the first file you need to termoobrabotki. Soshlifovat previously a small area, gradually heat the file evenly along its length until, while in ground place appears red-brown film of oxides, after which the file is cooled in water or air. This heat treatment will reduce the brittleness of steel, while maintaining the hardness necessary for cutting edge on plow.

STANGENSELLERIE

STANGENSELLERIECut the correct glass circle is not so simple. Usually on the sheet steklografom put the outline of future disk, and then not spend a dozen tangents. The resulting polyhedron is brought to the circle by a fine-grained whetstone. It is much easier to make this work with a homemade tool. Its basis is the caliper. The inner leg is clipped and hard solder attach pad. After Stripping through her and the leg is drilled through hole. In the resulting plug is inserted carbide roller from a standard glass cutter.

Extreme thread thread partly removed with a cutter, or a chisel and chopped off the right angle: the end will perform the role of a punch. To increase the impact force to the flywheel attached two opposed.

VERTICAL DRILLING

VERTICAL DRILLINGIn the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 4 for 2008 have already been published, one of my small bench drill press. Now offers readers a different, in my opinion, a more versatile and interesting design. Meanwhile, this upright drilling machines single-spindle work hard also not hard to make yourself, having practical skills in machining metal parts and metal build, and some of the most complex parts can be ordered as a master-technician.
