Some ghetto drill press-addons. I was drilling holes to PCB for a project and didn't want the dust to get all over the place, which explains the red bin under the drill. Sometimes it would be handy to have this bin filled with water (wet sanding/polishing), but that would need some further enhancements to the design so that the drill wouldn't rust.
Another test here is the LED-light taped to the side. First I thought of using two line-lasers, but drilling reflective stuff (metal) would be rather unpleasant if there were laser beams bouncing to my eyes. The lamp made it easier to see where the marks are, so I think I'm gonna go a bit further with this idea and modify the lamp to work with transformer and have a power switch. |
