Manufacturing process.
Before making homemade work, the master decided to slightly improve the table of the drilling machine. To do this, he will make a simple emphasis.
Using this strap, you can press the part to the table, or use it as a stop.
Then the master measures the size of the nut.
Using a compass, marks future workpieces, and divides the circle into 6 equal parts, the same size as the radius of the circle.
Marks pilot holes with a 2 mm drill. He then drills a 20 mm Forstner drill into the groove for the nut.
A central hole is drilled with a 7.5 mm drill to a depth of 9 mm.
In the center, a hole with a diameter of 6 mm ends. And around the perimeter makes 10 mm holes with pen drills.
Cuts blanks on a band saw
Grinds the edges on the machine, and then manually.
It only remains to press the nut in with a vise.
Here is such a simple technique, and a very necessary thing.
