In this small article, we will consider the possibility of manufacturing wooden dowels without a lathe. Device easy to manufacture and operate. To make it, you need the following
Tools and materials:
-Board;
-Rail;
-Bearings;
-Bolts;
-Nuts;
-Screws;
-Drill;
-A circular saw;
-Car keys;
Step one: procurement of parts
Slices two slats. The width of the rails should be slightly less than the guides on the table. Further, the base and side walls are cut out of the laminated board.
Step Two: Drawer Assembly
Screws the rails to the base, the distance between the rails is equal to the distance between the rails. Screws side walls and boards.
Step Two: Bearings
The master took the bearings from an old skateboard. The axis was made of a bolt, sharpening the edge.
Step Three: Install Shafts and Bearings
Drills holes coaxially in the box walls. Installs a shaft with a bearing in the rear wall of the box (away from you when working).
Front mounted stud with bolts and bearings.
Step Four: Harvesting
A shallow hole is drilled in the center of the end face of the workpiece. A threaded furniture insert is installed. The workpiece is installed in the fixture. It is fixed. On the other hand, the pin is clamped into the drill.
The drill turns on, the circular saw turns on, the box moves along the guides, and the workpiece is processed.
To process short workpieces, the master made a jumper. The jumper does not allow a hairpin to "walk".
Processing the workpiece takes about five passes. Then, you can, without removing the dowel, process it with sandpaper.
