If necessary, fasten a grindstone, brush, pulley, blades or other equipment on the motor shaft and require a flange, which can be difficult to select. With the desire and free time, such an adapter can be made with your own hands from inexpensive materials. To make the flange, you will need a minimum of tools: a hacksaw for metal or a grinder, a drill and a tap with a holder.

When engaging in blacksmithing, the primary rough roughing of a workpiece is a great difficulty. This work can be greatly facilitated by a self-made mechanical drive with an impact hammer on the anvil. It hits with a heavy sledgehammer with a high frequency and always with the same force, which allows you to unfasten a part in one heat much more than manually.

Even a very used lathe is not affordable for most lovers who need it only for processing small workpieces. If it is necessary to carry out insignificant amounts of work, the machine can be made with its own hands from rolled metal and several factory parts. Main materials: steel corner 20x20 mm; shaft on aluminum support SBR20; carriages on linear bearings under the SBR20 shaft - 12 pcs.

This type of connection has an aesthetic appeal. Therefore, it is mainly used in designs in which style refinement is most important. There are other connection methods to ensure durability, but, of course, their external design is not so beautiful. It will be required. Consider this connection method using the example of round pipes.

Sooner or later, an ax made of wood has to be changed, since the metal head of an ax is stronger than a wooden handle, both mechanically and in opposition to external adverse factors. Removing the old hatchet To facilitate the removal of the old hatchet, it is better to cut it almost immediately behind the rear edge of the ax head.

This tool with a flexible shaft, which is also called a mini-drill, can perform various types of processing of wooden and metal parts and assemblies in hard-to-reach places. What to do if the electric motor fails, or the drive is dremel? Let's try to replace it with an ordinary grinder. We remove the flexible shaft from the failed tool and rearrange it to a working grinder.

In the manufacture of various mechanisms, it may be necessary to drill a square hole. For this, there is a Watts drill, but not everyone has it. If buying it is impractical, then using simple technology, you can make a square hole with ordinary metal drills.

Sometimes there is a need to urgently cut off a piece of metal, and under your hands only a canvas. It is very inconvenient to work without a machine, the canvas not only cuts the hand, but it will certainly break, unless, of course, this is a product of Chinese scammers. Their metal is bent by an arc, does not break, but also does not saw. Real alloyed tool steel undergoes additional heat treatment and does not bend, it is not designed for such conditions.

Designing home-made machines based on engines from broken household appliances has already become a classic. Usually, the motor from the washing machine is used for this, but the compressor from the refrigerator can also be used with benefit. Consider the option of manufacturing a jigsaw machine from an old compressor.

Experienced joiners know how important it is to keep an eye on the cutting edges of chisels and chisels. They stumble very quickly, and for correct sharpening it takes a lot of time. In addition, the formation of dents or other large mechanical damage on the edges makes the process much more difficult, and sometimes tools have to be thrown away.

Not every car owner or master has the opportunity to have a spacious garage or workshop and store all the tools and small parts in it, and this causes a lot of inconvenience. Sometimes the rooms are so small that it is impossible to put ordinary shelves near the walls. There is a very original solution to the problem - to make them suspended.

A workbench without a vise is no more than just a table. Joiner's vice is a necessary adaptation for each master. They provide reliable fixation of wooden and metal parts during their processing. The design is based on a Moxon vice with two screws - a reliable, low-cost and easy-to-manufacture option.

You can cut a circle in sheet metal with scissors for metal, making accurate cutting, and possessing extraordinary skills. Do not do without additional edge processing. You can also use a hand tool - a nozzle on a HC2 EV Malco drill at a cost of about 10 thousand rubles. We will try to adapt the grinder for this matter, equipping it with a removable tooling based on a ring permanent magnet from a sound speaker.

For convenience, some tools need to be magnetized. These are primarily screwdrivers used to tighten small screws. It happens, and vice versa, when it is better to demagnetize the tool so that metal chips do not stick to it. For all this, special devices are used - magnetizers (magnetizers) and demagnetizers (demagnetizers).

The trimmer is a special tool. Its purpose is to fight weeds, shrub stalks and grass of lawns in places inaccessible to lawn mowers. Can motokosa drill holes in various materials? Today we will consider one of the options for this possibility. The idea is to make a rigid frame into which the trimmer will be placed, and equip the spindle with a standard chuck.

When cutting sheet material, it is very important to apply even marking. For this, a special tool is used - a marking surface gage. It will be useful to roofers, carpenters, joiners, drywall workers and other craftsmen. Reysmus has a very simple design, so you can do it yourself. Materials: solid wood lath; metal ruler; hairpin M8; nut M8; manual star nut M8; 4 screws.

Performing a straight, straight cut with a budget jigsaw is not at all easy. The reasons are simple - backlashes in a jigsaw, file removal, a little experience of the master. All these reasons can easily be eliminated with a homemade bed with guides for the base of the jigsaw. The presented design allows you to cut wood, sheet metal, plastic and even paper at an angle of 30, 45 or 90 degrees.

The versatility of angle grinders or grinders can be judged by at least the most popular equipment for it - discs that are divided into cutting (abrasive and diamond), peeling (cord brushes), cleaning, grinding (with a thickness of 6 mm or more), grinding and polishing. Also, the variety of work performed by this tool is facilitated by the location of the engine and tool axes at an angle of 90 degrees with respect to each other.

For the manufacture of cloth polishing wheels, bumazeya, calico, cloth, cotton, tarpaulin, etc. are most often used. But it is preferable to make them from old denim because of its widespread use and properties such as wear resistance, hygroscopicity, non-electrification and other

Some hacks are not only original, but quite useful and greatly facilitate the life of an amateur craftsman. Let's consider some of them. How to facilitate the extraction of nails from a tree Nails driven into a solid wood, due to shrinkage of the tree or oxidation of the metal, are quite difficult to pull out with the usual tools for this - a nail clipper, pliers, pliers, a hammer with a forked nose, etc.
