AntiSpiral Posted August 3, 2013 Share #1 Posted August 3, 2013 I've seen a few of these from a russian model forum and they look quite useful for drilling smaller holes efficiently, sure you could probably use a router but they're a bit big when using 0.5 drills, does anyone have any information on them or how to make one? (images can be found on google 'Diy motor drill' theres a few images to give you an idea of what im talking about https://www.google.co.uk/search?safe=off&q=diy%20motor%20drill&psj=1&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.50165853,d.d2k,pv.xjs.s.en_US.seW1cfrvSKg.O&biw=1152&bih=628&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=wBH9UYTENK7J0AWU7oHYAQ) (from jack aubreys gallery, hope he doesn't mind) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkay11 Posted August 3, 2013 Share #2 Posted August 3, 2013 They're plentiful and cheap. You can find them easily on eBay. Have a look at http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170803404093?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649. That one's from Hong Kong, but you can find them in many countries, I should imagine.

Tony Thanks Tony i've had a look already but i'd love to just be able to make my own otherwise i'd probably get one if i cant make me own, but im not the best at electronics though i do enjoy it.

NMBROOK Posted August 3, 2013 Share #4 Posted August 3, 2013 Hi Admiral, I think the motor and electrics is the easy bit.Any 380-540 size can motor(model car or boat)would do it,connected through a switch to a mains adapter preferably 6v.I think the hard bits mounting the drill bit.Easy if you have a metal lathe but if you haven't,very awkward.Any lack of trueness will certainly result in broken drills. Kind Regards Nigel Quote Currently working on Royal Caroline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind Regards Nigel thanks nigel and a good point, i have plenty of motors its just the main bit to hold the drill, unless i can find some parts laying around from rc cars and helicopters probably easier to just buy one.

Long9Ron Posted August 12, 2013 Share #6 Posted August 12, 2013 Maybe check out this link. It's one way of doing it. http://pisangs.blogspot.ca/2010/04/low-cost-diy-pcb-drill.html Quote Ron Current Build: H.M.S. Triton Cross Section 1:48 Why is it that I always find out the best way to do something is after I have already done it the wrong way? - Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
