Aesthetic home-made control knob for your equipment, everything is very simple

Again, I am glad to welcome you dear friends!



Today I want to introduce you to the principle of manufacturing a simple but pretty control knob. She, you may not need it today, but at some point, you will be painfully thinking how to do something like that. So, advice, carefully study this article once and forget for a while. And at the right time, take this lesson from your memory.

This simple fixtures will always be in demand among craftsmen. Especially manufacturing any home-made equipment where it is necessary to carry out its drive.

The handle can be installed on a joiner's vice, a centering table, on the drive of any home-made equipment, it has a lot of options for use.

The control knob is incredibly easy to manufacture, even an elementary school student can make it, does not require expensive or scarce materials, I’m sure you will find all the materials in your workshop, the garage or in the country.

As always, we will make a prototype. And then you can then experiment with the materials, sizes for your control knob and the nuances of manufacturing this device.

We made the control handle from chipboard, but if you have at your fingertips a piece of thick, say 16 mm thick plywood, then this option will be much more successful and better.

Also, the pen can be made of textolite, OSB, MDF and other material suitable for this product. The dimensions of the control knob are selected based on the task of operating this device.

We begin our project with a reminder of compliance with safety rules when working with carpentry, metalwork tools and equipment. Follow the rules and you, having built your magnificent summer house, grow a lot of cucumbers, tomatoes and even watermelons with melons on it, educate grandchildren, and maybe great-grandchildren.

Video instruction for manufacturing the control stick:



We begin to manufacture.

What we need to make a simple control knob:



1. As always, drilling equipment, drilling machine or drill.
2. Drills, I want to separately note the core drill, its internal working diameter will correspond to the diameter of your control handle.
3. Joiner's vice.
4. Varnish or stain, to give the pen an aesthetic appearance.
5. The hammer.
6. Wrenches.
7. The compass.
8. Joiner's pencil or, what else is writing, for marking the stencil.
9. A small sheet of paper.
10. Joiner's glue.
11. The grinding skin.
12. Brush or swab for applying varnish or stain.

Our materials are the most waste:



1. A small piece of chipboard, or, at your discretion, plywood, MDF, PCB, etc. (The thickness is at least 16 millimeters, in principle, if you have thinner plywood, it can be glued with wood glue, then fixed with a clamp, to complete glue drying).
2. A plastic stopper, or something else, to aesthetically close the bolt head.
3. The bolt, length and diameter, is selected from the task in front of your handle.
4. The nuts.

The manufacturing process is ugly simple:


















1. We make a stencil, markup on a sheet of paper (Clearly stated in the video clip).
2. Glue the stencil on the workpiece.
3. We drill holes according to the pattern specified in the stencil (described in the video clip).
4. Using a core drill, remove the handle blank from the chipboard trim (described in the video clip).
5. We drill the central hole under the shaft of the control handle, select the seats for the nuts with a pen drill.
6. Connect the resulting design.
7. Improve the control handle with an emery cloth and stain or varnish, close the bolt head with a homemade plug.
8. Our control knob is ready, we manage ...



Good luck, you friends are friends. New achievements, interesting and useful homemade...!

In order to prevent unwinding, I would also tighten the bolt at several points around the circumference at the exit of the nut

A breakdown nut is used.

If very vulgar approach the question, a worm on a professional lathe, this is the same threaded rod
Worm gear (gear-screw gear) - a mechanical gear engaged by engaging the worm and the worm gear associated with it ... Worm represents screw with special thread ...
puts on course control hairpin
No vulgarity, Mr. Philologist! No stud drives! Man controls the machine! It is a pity that you are not able to understand this, despite the fact that:
And I have enough education, I can even share ...
My grandfather told me: "There are many scientists, few are smart. Not a single diploma has added any mind!" And what did you lead to education here? nea

it is at best an adjustment, but not a manager at all!

If it’s very vulgar to approach the question, a worm on a professional lathe is the same threaded rod. master, look at the name of the site for whom this material is intended, without having a worm for a reason, say the price of the issue, puts a pin on the course control and, wagging its tail joyfully, masters wonderful things ... And I have enough education, I can even share ... drinks
But the rest did not understand ... where are the machines and where is our age ...
And what can be incomprehensible to you if we are the same age? Your work was not related to industrial production? I hope that they understood, at least, that the bolt, with whatever head it is, is in the best case an adjusting one, but not a control one! yes

Let's start, take pity, from the age of, I think, we studied in parallel classes, only in different cities ... Regarding - “I had to see and everything was already” it seems to me that my luggage is not less ... And the rest didn’t understand anything ... where are the machines and where is our age ... shok
I am all 53 years old. Military doctors do not want to admit this fact and do not pay a pension.

Manage, as a rule, the machine, equipment, (but not in your understanding) car, ship, plane, etc.!

You have a simplified understanding of management. I explain, for example, a lathe consists of a certain number of mechanisms. For example, the control mechanism for longitudinal transmission, transverse gear, tailstock drive, etc. There is an automatic drive of the above mechanisms, as well as a manual drive and if the master makes, say, a low-cost carpentry lathe with a manual drive, this handle will definitely be useful to him, and he will decide on his choice of material and size ... I think I put everything on the shelves ... Don’t be sad, you will still have everything and everything will turn out ... ok

I remembered the song of Bonnie’s group - M Uncle Cool. (Barbara fries chickens) Crazy Uncle, Farian doesn’t allow me further, because he swung at a billiard of copies of this song.
Everyone knows that I flunked a bear 900 kg Colonel gave me his PM. And said. Do not erase

In this case, we have the same train of thought. In one of the comments on homemade, my idea was about a smooth adjustment knob.

the very idea of ​​using a tool

Handle to joiner's vice, handle of control of the longitudinal and lateral course of the machine, control of a worm gear, control of a centering table, etc. etc. ok
Guest Vita
And the idea of ​​using a tool to get a pen?

The purpose of the article is simply to show the manufacturing principle of this product
Well, you don’t need to drag aesthetics and equipment management here! boss

I like these thoughts! An important idea is the choice of material and application a second time.

Well guys, you give. If I licked her, she would lie in the sideboard, in a place of honor. The task of boasting, as I can, was not standing. The purpose of the article is simply to show the manufacturing principle of this product. When I look at such articles, I am curious about the idea itself, the rest is secondary. And whoever needs it, he will draw butterflies on it and the sky is blue ... Everything was done on the knee, in a limited time interval ... drinks

As for the statement about aesthetics - a little bust. And the idea itself is quite good for itself, such simple and convenient pens can find application. In order to prevent unwinding, I would also tighten the bolt at several points around the circumference at the exit of the nut

argued hoarsely with a German teacher at the institute
And at my institute, the German woman was far from technology, but I tried to select texts for translations according to our specialty, and since the students were from the school desk, immediately to the institute audience, the translations were worse than the Guglovskys! A little versed in technology, and having decent training in German, I was an indisputable authority in editing translations from German into Russian! yes
Regarding the emphasis in the word “drive”, she argued hoarse with a German teacher at the institute, she argued that it was necessary to say “electric drive”, but I insisted on “electric drive”, citing at that time (85-86 years, the Internet and There was no mention of Wikipedia, and in the spelling dictionary I do not remember where the emphasis was) on technical jargon. "You will not retrain the sailor to call compass kOmpas."
where it is necessary to carry it drive unit
I’m embarrassed to ask, what drive did you mean?
Drive unit (aka power drive) - a set of devices designed to drive machines and mechanisms. It is the one that performs the work of converting one type of energy into another and transfers this energy to the executive mechanism
Drive unit - forced delivery of a person to the interrogating officer, investigator, prosecutor or the court in case of failure to appear at their call without good reason.

I saw the last two photos and realized that the concepts of aesthetics and equipment management are somewhat different! smile
