In this video I endeavour to make a solid drill from aluminium profile extrusion. This is part in which I make the drill stand itself. In part 2, I'll be making the base with adjustable fence to mount it to, as well as doing more comprehensive demo of it in action.
This is a straight up and down drill stand, not for angle drilling. I just wanted something that could drill reliably straight even with longer and larger diameter drill bits. I've not tried any drill stand that didn't have some degree of flex when pushed - except for this one!
Made around an Openbuilds Spindle Mount with a 43mm sleeve, it can be used with any corded percussion drill, or cordless drill/driver with a 43mm collar. This opened it up for use with my Mafell FM1000 milling motor, turning it into a mobile surfacing router.
If you're interested in any of the parts I used, I'll leave some links below.
You'll be able to find the profile extrusions, corner plates, corner brackets, sliding t-nuts and screws on Ooznest. For the Linear rails, I'll provide a link to Banggood who offer good value options on the MGN 12 rails I use in the video.
