AC Motor Converted Into DC EBike Powerplant

AC induction motors are everywhere, from ceiling fans to vehicles. They’re reliable, simple, and rugged — but there are some disadvantages. It’s difficult to control the speed wit…

At some point the amount I spend on replacing broken drill bits will surpass the amount it would cost to buy a drill press 🙄

Munich Maker Lab e.V.Nov 21

Our Weldinger drill press has been in the Lab for a fewe months now and it's doing great! Stepless speed control, digital height display, and a cross-hatch laser make it super handy and precise. Much more fun to use than our old model!

Just a quick look on that old type plate tells me that this drill press has seen some ....

Something different today.

I got a drill-press jig for my dremel that allows me to drill straight holes through things.
This is good enough in itself.

It also allows you to mount the dremel sideways...

but, there's no included surface for keeping things straight when sideways.

So I made one.

It can adjust up and down with the dremel, and can move towards and away from the dremel.

And it includes a sled for moving things under the tool.

I think my drill press vise is somewhere under here...
Drilling with a sharp forstner bit was extremely satisfying

Continuing to refine the standing #hobby workstation I'm putting together in my shop. Latest addition is the little red docking shelf that I've put on casters. A wire-pull handle on the side can be used to move it separately, but "dock" it to the two gate latches on the side, and you can pull both pieces along easily using a handle on the station's right side. Small bench-top #PowerTools store underneath, mounted on their own bases for easy moving and placement.
I'm 6 foot 6 inches tall and have occasional back problems, so a very tall worksurface is great for me, saving both my eyes and my back. I plan to use this for things like airbrushing, rotary tool use, model-building, soldering, use of small bench tools, etc.
I found the black unit at the heart of this in a thrift store. It seems to be some sort of portable lectern or standing computer station (there's a pull-out shelf apparently for a keyboard). The sides and base are steel, with particle-board top and shelves. I previously used this as a standing computer desk, with the keyboard and mouse on top (like I said, I'm tall, and also left-handed) and added a little wing shelf on the left to give me more room for a mouse. When I moved it to the shop, I added a heavy power strip with a long cord and hooks for tools and safety equipment. Storage boxes for small tools and accessories went on the keyboard pullout.
I have a small shop with a lot of stuff in it, and so I'm trying to cram as much versatility and functionality into it as I can, while keeping it easy to move. (For flexibility, I try to put EVERYTHING in my shop on castors whenever possible.)
Extensive captions on the photos, so for everyone, not just the visually impaired this time.

I tend to work on projects up to ~95% and end up with nearly working stuff that takes up space and stays like this for years... Its nearly 3 AM now but my vintage drill press is finally assembled, got a variable freuency drive, a light to see what I am drilling, all the wiring is new, the power switch is repaired (loose screws = molten plastic) and the broken cast iron frame is fixed with liquid metal and painted. #drillPress #vintage #repair
