If it is necessary to drill a central hole on a part that will rotate, a lathe is usually used. In this case, the drill is clamped motionless, and the workpiece itself is pushed onto it. However, not everyone has a lathe, but everyone

To rotate or bend the axis of the pipeline, a certain type of fitting is usually used - angles with a standard rotation angle of 30, 45 and 90 degrees. But they may not always be at hand, and they are quite expensive. Sometimes to ensure

The most difficult, but also reliable way to create a loop (fire) at the end of a cable is weaving. This method is better known as chalka. The technology of fire binding is not complicated, but it requires physical effort. You can weave any cable, the main thing is that

Sooner or later, hand tools wear out.Trowels, scoops, chisels or knives, all this equipment that is familiar to us suffers from damaged handles. But replacing them is easy and does not take long. At the same time, you do not have to cut out wooden halves for

Every tool has its time. But this does not mean that it should be thrown into a landfill, because some of its parts can still be used. For example, as in today’s case with a broken angle grinder (angle grinder). Let's try to make it interesting

This problem often occurs - the boss at the end of the cable, fixing it to the gas handle, has come off. Usually the problem is solved by replacing the cable assembly, but you can try to restore the clamp, which I gladly did.

Imagine that you are faced with a specific task: to make a blind hole in a tree for a bearing. To press it in, you need a certain diameter of the cutter; it is not a fact that a tool of this size will be in the store. Therefore, it is easier and cheaper to do

Sometimes, when making various homemade products, it is necessary to drill a perfectly positioned hole on the side of the tube or rod. This cannot be done without prior preparation and tools. Main difficulty

Holes in glass are cut with special tools: drills, countersinks, crowns, some of them with diamond coating. Sometimes you need to drill one or more holes in the glass. To avoid making an expensive purchase, you can:

Small 2-stroke single-cylinder engines of low power are widely used in everyday life. They are used on chainsaws and motor mowers, in motorized ice drills and gas-electric units. And also in other models of equipment.

The strength and hardness of wood is several times less than that of metals, even something as soft as aluminum. Therefore, when working with wood, especially at the final stages of its processing, you should be especially careful.

A 3-phase motor can be used to operate from a single-phase household AC network with a voltage of 220 volts. Rework is possible even if there is no extensive experience in electrical work with minimal installation skills. Additional costs

Many people are wary of purchasing a motorized tool that is powered by a two-stroke gasoline engine. They are frightened by the constant prospect of mixing gasoline with oil. They suggest that this is quite a problematic operation, although nothing

Experienced craftsmen can make do with a semicircular carpenter's chisel to make a bowl (recess) in a wooden spoon, and this is perhaps the most difficult and important operation in the manufacture of such a product. If you don't have practice working on

A flexible shaft for a drill or screwdriver, an item that is used extremely rarely. However, if you need to drill a hole or screw in a screw in a hard-to-reach place where a screwdriver cannot fit, it is better to have this tool available. Even if the place

Heating extensions and utility rooms comes with significant additional costs, which is not suitable for everyone. However, it turns out that you can maintain a positive temperature in them almost free of charge. Of course it's possible

The device of the bur machine is not the most complicated; motor and start button in the housing. But bur machines come in different types. It all depends on the manufacturer. Many manufacturers also install a button to reduce speed. This is not an electric button, but a clean one

Any hardened steel is not easy to machine. Therefore, it is often tempered in advance, and after processing is completed, it is hardened again, if necessary due to operating conditions. Hardened alloyed materials are especially difficult to process.

A variety of mechanisms make our work easier, both in production and in everyday life.But sometimes they present unexpected and not very pleasant surprises. This also applies to an angle grinder (angle grinder), when there is so much pressure on it

Work spaces and garages require good lighting. You can do it yourself, even without the skills of an electrician. I propose the design of a bright adjustable ceiling lamp based on LED strip.

Washing machines often fail without their motors being fully functional. Its power and actual speed are well suited for the use of this spare part in the manufacture of homemade machines. As it turned out, such

Full-fledged milling and circular machines are expensive and take up a lot of space in the workshop, so they are not suitable for everyone. If you equip a hand-held power tool with a special guide, then the capabilities of such equipment are multiplied

A very simple design of a hydraulic press from a regular car jack. When repairing a car, motorcycle, as well as performing various types of work, it becomes necessary to use a press. With its help you can do

It is impossible to imagine an auto repair shop or home workshop without a bench vise, regardless of what material you have to work with: metal, plastic or wood.Usually everywhere they use a classic vice with a crank, which
