The drill is used for construction work, installation of vineyard supports, poles and fences, as well as for winter fishing and other activities. It can be used to drill holes of various depths and diameters on surfaces made of different materials. To make working with a thick layer of ice, frozen ground and other hard surfaces easier, use a drill attachment for a chainsaw, which you can create with your own hands. The homemade unit is suitable for soil, sand, ice and other things. An ice drill made from a chainsaw can function correctly under all kinds of climatic conditions and temperature conditions.
How to assemble an ice screw from a chainsaw?
After preliminary calculations, you can start creating a homemade ice drill from a chainsaw:
- First, you will need to construct a body; for this, a frame is made from a metal pipe - we measure a piece of pipe corresponding to the length of the frame being created and make cuts across it.
- The depth of the cuts made from a chainsaw drill will be one third greater than the radius of the pipe. After this, the material can be easily molded into the desired shape.
- After the structure acquires the necessary shape, the joints and corners are welded.
- In the same way, a second smaller frame is created. Both products are connected, leaving a gap of about thirty centimeters.
- The result is a truncated pyramid, inside which the gearbox will be fixed.
Attachment for sawing wood in a horizontal plane
This device makes it possible to cut boards or beams of the same thickness. The chainsaw attachment has a well-thought-out design that ensures the rigidity of the unit. It is attached to the tire at the beginning and end. Using the guide element, you can set the desired thickness of the boards. The most difficult task is making the first cut. To keep it level, an additional guide frame is attached to the log, serving as a base surface for support. During the next cut, the leveled surface of the previous one will act as a stop.
How to attach a removable motor?
To connect the gearbox with the engine and the drill, you need to decide whether it will be stationary or removable for frequent dismantling. To make the motor multifunctional, you will need to develop a mount that will securely fix the motor, and remove it with minimal time and effort. For this you will need:
- A hole is made on the design of a motor drill made from a chainsaw, repeating the size of the engine.
- Creating a reliable clamping frame with sufficient fixation to perform its functions.
The dimensions depend on the drill from which chainsaw motor you will create. It is worth considering that most of the housings of the units are made of polymers, which complicates the fastening process.
Gardener's device
Special attachments can change the chainsaw, giving it the functions of a trimmer. The extended bow allows access to remote and narrow areas without the use of a ladder. It also increases the level of safety during processing.
Another attachment helps make a brush cutter out of a saw, used for leveling garden and park shrubs and even low-growing trees. With its help, hedges are formed and decorative pruning is performed.
Safety
Before you start using it, you need to check the strength of the product. The chainsaw attachment must not only be effective, but also safe for the operator. To ensure this condition you will need:
- Weld two metal rings of small diameter to the finished structure at the top and bottom.
- A pipe should pass through them vertically.
- After the homemade chainsaw drill is placed on the guide, you can begin to carry out the work.
Using this simple technique, you will not only ensure a clear vertical direction of the chainsaw drill, but will also make drilling as convenient as possible.
Drill - purpose, types and features of operation
A motor drill is a type of equipment designed for making holes in hard and clay soil, as well as in ice. Depending on their design features and purpose, drills are divided into:
- household - small-sized tools, distinguished by relatively low power and traction characteristics. Devices of this type are well suited for short and irregular use. They consume a minimum of fuel and do not require regular specialized care;
- semi-professional - medium-power equipment, which in size is not much different from household models. The main task of tools of this type is regular operation to make small and medium-diameter holes in loose soil and in ice with a layer thickness of up to 10 cm;
- professional – devices of this type have solid power and traction reserve. They do a good job of making holes in hard soil and ice up to 15–18 cm thick.
Industrial drills are considered the most powerful on the market. These rigs are designed exclusively for oil and gas drilling work. They require a team of several experienced employees to operate and maintain them.
In addition to specialized branded devices, there are small-sized attachments on the market that are easy to install and maintain. The most popular of them is a chainsaw attachment for drilling ice and soil. This device allows you to combine the working parts of the nozzle and the power of the factory engine of the garden tool. Thus, the user gets the opportunity to drill holes without difficulty without the need to purchase specialized equipment.
An attachment in the form of a drill for a household chainsaw does not require any special skills from the operator. All that is needed is to install it instead of the cutting parts of the saw, thread the tool and place it motionless with the working parts down. After this, you can start the saw engine and start making holes.
Learning to create an electric motor for a boat
To do this, it is allowed to use an electric motor from a broken product. But taking into account the fact that a store-bought analogue of a real boat motor is very expensive. In any case, more than a gas mower or a screwdriver.
Therefore, you can buy brand new products and borrow an engine from there. This option is the least expensive and easy to implement. Especially suitable for those for whom the financial side is very important. In another case, it is more profitable to purchase a floating device with a motor and appropriate devices for successful fishing.
We assume that there is an inflatable boat without a motor. Let's consider the stages of manufacturing an engine for this budget and ergonomic floating device for amateur fishing:
- We purchase or use an old screwdriver, an electric motor based on batteries.
- If the battery power is too small for long and fast movement across a body of water. Then you should pay attention to the car analogue with 12 V. But the device must correspond to this operating voltage.
- In order to optimally load the boat with cargo and caught fish and not worry about the ability to move, it is better to rely on an electric drive with a power of 300 W.
- Care must be taken to reduce the torque of the electric motor. To do this, a gearbox is installed; without it, you can’t use an electric drill.
- A propeller is added to this combination, but the use of a drive shaft is allowed.
Thanks to the electric motor, you can move silently.
If the assembly seems too complicated, you can rely on a video of making a boat motor based on a clear example. The product is much more economical to repair and costs less than its store-bought counterpart.
Precautions when using a gas cutter
When working with such a device as a grinder attachment for a chainsaw, extreme care is required. Precautions with a gas cutter are the same as when working with a chainsaw.
After turning on the unit, you must wait until the crankshaft begins to rotate up to five thousand times per minute. It is at this frequency indicator that the crankshaft speed coincides with the spindle speed. Cutting is carried out at seven thousand revolutions.
Where can I find the required gearbox and fasteners?
Experts advise purchasing the part from one of the online stores. There are many videos online showing how some craftsmen remove a gearbox from old tools using ordinary grinders, a screwdriver and a hammer. This is also an option, but it is not reliable.
The gearbox and chainsaw motor are fastened together. At this stage you will have to seek help from a locksmith. He will machine a sleeve of the required diameter. It will serve as a connecting link.
Additional fasteners cannot be purchased. This is handmade. Each device requires its own mounting.
Making a motor drill with your own hands
Many people make homemade accessories for chainsaws with their own hands. How to make a motor drill attachment yourself? First you need to prepare a chainsaw. The most commonly used is the domestic model “Shtil”, known since Soviet times.
The rotation speed of the screw should be low. For this purpose, they are looking for a way to reduce the number of revolutions so that at output the result is the indicator that is necessary for the safe use of the unit. To make a “motor drill” yourself, you will need a gearbox.
A belt or worm gearbox, despite the difference in design, is identical in functionality. But in this case, it is recommended to use a worm gear, since its transmission efficiency is significantly lower than that of a clinometer. Such a part is subject to slow heating and can be installed directly on the shaft of the main mechanism. You do not need any couplings or mechanical transmissions.
The large-sized gear of the gearbox of the clinometer design brings the auger into working condition.
