In the manufacture of cabinet furniture, it becomes necessary to be able to accurately and quickly deploying in the end of the parts. As a rule, this necessity is due to the use of ebroges (confirmates), in which the holes of the diameters of 4.5-5.0 mm are drilled in the end of the parts (depends on the plate density) to a depth of 35-55mm (depends on the length of the Euro-indesses).
Of course, there are special drilling and additive machines for such purposes, but they are not allowed to accommodate private furniture makers or small organizations due to their high prices, plus to this, the machines are not convenient due to exclusively inpatient use. To simplify the work of the furniture maker, conduitors were invented - small devices for accurate drilling with an ordinary manual electric train. Today there are several manufacturers on the market, paying a non-low price, you can buy a ready-made conductor. This article will be discussed about how a good home-made conductor can be made of a couple of hours and easily accessible material.As guides drill sleeves, we use ball bearings. Bearings are made of durable steel, will serve for a long time. In order for the drill to be well oriented in the conductor, two bearings are applied for each working distance (bearings are located coaxially other than the other).
For the manufacture of the conductor (for three working fixed distances) we will need:
To begin with, it is necessary to make the housing itself. Especially something to explain on the corpus is not necessary, everything is elementary. Cross section The housing is the letter "P" with one end (closed) wall. This wall will be used as a stop, will set the zero point, the starting point for drilling. When performing drilling, the focus is pressed against the end of the part. Main dimensions:
To assemble the case, it is necessary to accurately cut all four details (top, two side and one end), measurements are recommended to perform a calipers. Next, the holes for the self-tapping screws are placed and drilled, which will fasten all the details together. The body assembly is performed with PVA glue.
The distance between the side walls of the conductor consists of 16.5 mm (for the nominal thickness of 16 mm nominal thickness).
After drying the glue, proceed to markup and kerity of holes for bearings. We try to fully accomplish this operation! For drilling holes for bearings, we will need or drill fixed in the rack. Perform an accurate drilling from hand is very difficult, but, with a certain skill, possibly. We are placing the pencil centers of bearings, core. Three cross-cutting holes with a diameter of 2 mm are drilling in turf. Press in the drill cartridge the first drill (peer), the peer diameter should be equal to the external diameter of the bearing. Drilling two deaf (short-range) holes for each bearing on each side of the previously drilled through hole. The depth of drilling with rod (the depth of the penetration of the central spike is not taken into account) should be about 1 mm more than the height of the bearing. As a result, we must get six seating holes (three on each side) for bearings. You can try to insert bearings into the seats, the bearings must enter free, but without a noticeable backlash. After exemplary, you need to smear the outside of each bearing with glue and put it until it stops in your place. If the "superclauses" is used (it is quickly absorbed and dries), then this operation is performed using rubber inquiry.
Conductor from above. Distances between bearing centers and emphasis.
To be able to carry out drilling on any arbitrary distances from the stop (not only 50, 70, 100 mm), it is necessary to supplement the conductor with a simple adjustable focus - a long screw. Drills in the center of the end stop through a hole with a diameter of 0.5 mm less than the external diameter of the furniture hood (see photo). Screw to the boat. We screw the long screw into the hoods, without forgetting to pre-screw the nut on the screw and put on the sheer of Grovera. Now, by changing the depth of screwing the screw, you can specify any distance of drilling from 0 to 100 mm.
Furniture Futorto. To screw the hoods into the conductor body, you will need a hex key.
Adjusting the conductor screw is screwed into the furniture fun.

Departure drill. On this maximum depth you can perform drilling.The length of the used drill and the depth of its attachment in the drill cartridge should be chosen taking into account the thickness of the conductor (that is, without a small, total height of two bearings).
If desired, the surface of the conductor can be pulled out shallow emery paper, primed and paint (for example, enamel from the can. Practice has shown that the accuracy of drilling with the conductor is not worse than +/- 0.5mm and largely depends on how real thickness did (plateLedp.) It differs from the calculated thickness. In any case, the error of the maximum in half a millionth is not critical for drilling to the end in the manufacture of cabinet furniture.
When working with a manual drill, it is sometimes difficult to withstand the predetermined direction of the opening. Also, the conductors are applied if you need to perform a number of similar holes on the template. For example, at carpentry work. In this case, the wizard does not spend time on the marking of the tree, and is guaranteed to receive the same result.
The conductor is indispensable when drilling holes in pipes. But the main use is the passage of holes at a given angle.
Consider various options This useful device:
Simple furniture conductor for drilling holes when assembling furniture from metal. Details in video material
Purpose - receiving passes in thick blanks, strictly at an angle of 90 °. It is a set of sleeves in a single case, or a bracket with interchangeable workshops.
By installing a device above a drilling point, you can start work without prior to increasing. The drill accurately falls into the center of the bushings and does not deviate from the axis.
Important! The only problem - the tool must be held on the workpiece, especially at the beginning of work. Otherwise, he can shift from vibration.
Such a drilling conductor can be made with your own hands. A thick textolite or solid is used. Perfect option - Application of sleeves from the extruder for the wire pulling. Worn sleeves can be found at the factory. 
The nozzles for the extruder are made of alloy steel, with the addition of winning. The service life is practically inexhaustible.
It is almost impossible to make a hole in the showing surface. Especially hard to start the process - the tip of the drill scores from a given point. The device will fix the direction, and will allow you to perform with high accuracy. 
Adjusting the length of fixing bolts, you can drill a hole on the tangential for the center. If there is no similar tool at hand, it can be made of girlfriend. For example, from a solid tree bar and plywood strips. 
So that the guides are not so quickly divided by sharp edges of the drill, they can be enhanced by the sleeves from the tubes of different diameters.
If you make furniture with your own hands, you know that all products must be joined. In this regard, the need arises to drill a lot of holes. For this, all the masters use a special tool. It will be about the conductor for drilling holes.
The conductor is a plate on which holes and sleeves are located. Even the newcomer may take advantage of such equipment. Enough to do just a few steps:
To bore two parts, you will need only one conductor.
Such an adaptation is used not only in the manufacture of furniture and construction, but also in mechanical engineering. With it, the drilling hole of the holes on any surfaces is performed. Celebrate a few more advantages:
All models regardless of their use in one way or another are divided into several basic groups. Consider them in more detail:
Use a drilling conductor in many areas of activity. Most often in construction. But in addition, there are still some important industries.
During the assembly, many masters face such a problem as a shortage of holes. In this case, you have to make new ones. To make it easily it is recommended to apply the conductor. With it, all the work will be done quickly, efficiently and accurately. Also, to resort to the help of such a fixture you need masters that do not have a special machine.
Modern assembly is distinguished by a wide selection of furniture fittings and various fasteners. All this requires an accurate installation without offplaces. It is in this that the conductor will help.
Make holes proper form On cylindrical surfaces is quite difficult. Apply the drill in this case is useless. It will constantly slip, which means they will all get an irregular shape. To do this, it is recommended to use the conductor.
Additionally, you can use devices that help to make perpendicular holes. It also helps to process rounded elements and edges.
When assembling furniture, the use of such a device must. Someone prefers to buy ready option In the store, and many make them independently.
As for sale, they can be found in almost every construction store. However, it may turn out that the purchased equipment may not come up under your requests.
The cost of products affect the following factors:
Simple equipment has a low cost, but the products with additional functions will cost more expensive.
Having a little view of the conductor and some tools can be made it with your own hands.
For work it is necessary to prepare the following materials and tools:
It is necessary to familiarize yourself with several drilling techniques.
When independently manufacturing furniture, confirmates are often used. For such drilling, special drills with a size of 4.5 mm are used. It is easy to learn at an extra head.
This is the most complex technique. The drill must settle down perpendicular to the end. In this case, the drill must be kept firmly and smooth. It is very convenient to use special equipment.
This is the most accurate and fast way. For this method, it is necessary to prepare special clamps (clamps). Fixing should be high quality so that the details are not watched.
To do this, use the drill size of about 8 mm. In order for the details to be through holes, it is necessary to install a special depth limiter. For the end, it is recommended to use the drill too, and the depth should not exceed 20 mm.
From the roller you will learn how to properly use the conductor to drill holes in LDSP.
Drilling conductor - an indispensable attribute on large production, no matter what. Where many drill, it is really necessary, especially when the production is serial or mass.
With the help of a conductor to a large extent the production is acceleratedMelts the work of the worker.
The drilling conductor, as a rule, is a bar (plate) with holes and sleeves (sleeves). By means of the conductor, it is much easier, for example, drilling pipes.
As for the production of furniture, here they also apply, although recently.
With such a snap, the manufacturer is dispreated from the following problems:
Some operations, for example, drilling under the seeds (short wooden rods intended for hidden docking parts) requires very accurate markup, and not less accurate drill at an angle of 90 °.
With such a device, like a conductor, these tasks are solved easily and simply.
Overhead. They do not need to be fixed before their use for its intended purpose. Structurally simple, mobile, but they need to be kept free from a drill hand, since it is often not fixed in a special device, which is not very convenient. Considering simplicity of design Make it with your own hands is quite simple. It is used when drilling a chipboard and MDF.
Conductors for drilling holes at an angle. The design is easy to imagine because the name speaks for itself. Such a snap can be overhead. In the production of high-quality furniture there is also a drilling at an angle, which represents not the simplest operation in the production process - for this you need skill. Although in this case, the desired angle is sometimes disturbed, the assembly as a result will not be so high-quality and suffer appearance Furniture, especially if she is not from the chipboard, and from the tree - here the ugly delivery is not covered. Equipment the desired design Fully eliminates unnecessary problems.
Swivel conductors. They have a folding brackets, and this allows drilling on two adjacent planes.
Sliding gearboxes. With their help without reinstallation, you can drill a few holes. To work with such a snap, still requires the necessary skills.
Despite the fact that today a lot of new fittings have appeared in the furniture industry, the good old wanking is still applied. This is due to the fact that through this subject, the compounds are not visible, and this is especially valuable in the production of furniture made of natural wood.
As already mentioned, drilling under the sewage creates a lot of problems to furniture makers, especially insufficiently qualified.
In order to furniture plane It was perfectly docked, accurate markup is needed, and this snap allows you to speed up the work and bring the quality to the desired level.
Work with confirmates - special furniture screws - although less troublesome, but also requires certain skills. And considering how much you need to place and drill holes, before spinning the confirmation in one furniture product, this adaptation will accelerate to a large extent, and its quality too.
Procedure for working with the conductor:
The principle of this snap:
The design of your own conductor should be based on using this snap-in you can do most Performed works related to fasteners of various types.
Important! Kohl need a universal assistant - it concerns professional furniture makers, it will be better to purchase an industrial snap-in, which is done more accurately and efficiently. It is such a fixture that will be preferable and quickly pay off, especially if you still consider that a lot of different templates, stops and other little things are often attached to this device, which are also necessary in the work. They cost much cheaper than when buying in retail.
And yet it is a device, if necessary, can be made with your own hands.
Such a snap may be needed not so often in one or another production, but homemade Master - especially. So many users make it very much more profitable.
If the design of such remains relevant, then you need to prepare materials for the manufacture of a homemade conductor for drilling under the confirmation:
Instead of pipes, of course, you can use ready-made sleeves used in the devices for a broaching wire - such are available, for example, in mechanical engineering. Such details (even used) are suitable as it is impossible: they are made from alloyed steels and have a practically unlimited resource of work.
Options:
In modern furniture, not only chipboard, fiberboard, MDF and wood are used. As additional elements can be applied steel tubes Various diameter. Chrome or stainless steel coated, they perfectly complement the overall furniture ensemble.
It is very difficult to drill a spherical surface - the drill and strives to slip aside. Yes, and not so easy, when there are many holes and they are located in several rows.
In order for the pipe from the pipe, the notorious colander, and the correct part with exactly the holes performed, will need a conductor - this is the perfect solution in the situation that has created.
There are steel conductors, made in the form of adjustable clamp. This feature of the design allows you to clamp the pipes of different diameters in them and drill holes in them with high accuracy.
Without having the opportunity to make such a device, you can use throwing materialsBy making an even simpler device using a bar and plywood strip. So, the bar, cut along the diagonal on the circular saw, can be nailed or fasten with self-drawing at an angle of 90 ° to plywood. The resulting device is superimposed on top of the pipe, and the plywood strip, resting in the table or workbench, does not give to break the predetermined corner. Well-operated holes opened in the bar of the desired diameter are placed taking into account the necessary distances between future holes, which will allow you to quickly and accurately drill the pipe exactly according to the drawings.
How drivers are made, now it is clear, as well as their need for furniture production.
Not only conductors, but the templates are needed in furniture manufacturing. The simplest pattern, sometimes save the mass of time and will give the opportunity of no less accurate drillings than the conductor.
For example, the simplest metallic prefabricated pattern, consisting of two leaf blanks with a size of 130 × 70 mm and a steel square with a cross section of 20 mm. They are connected to the screws in the upper part of the design - so attached to the square. The square is drilled under the sleeve, where the last and pressed. Such a device for drilling holes in the end of the part performed from the chipboard will allow you to drill, without thinking about the markup and perpendicular drilling. And the price of this snap is below any idea of \u200b\u200bsaving.
Instead of metal, you can and you need to use those materials that cost inexpensively and easily processed.
Materials:
It should be borne in mind that these materials are short-lived, and in order for the devices to do not have to do every day, it is quite reasonably the metal tubes in them.
In conclusion, it is worth summarizing the said. To make a conductor or a template or to buy it in the store - this is the case of everyone separately. If a home master must be made any furniture in a single instance and there is a material for the conductor, as well as the possibility of its manufacture - you can use it. It is possible that a similar to-slip will never come in handy to the master.
But if even a small furniture workshop is engaged in the production of serial furniture, and there are enough people in it - it's easier, it is likely to acquire something ready, especially since these indispensable assistants of the masters will need them in several copies.
In the latter case, it makes sense to acquire more expensive, accurate and wear-resistant conductor instead of making handicrafts, which are less accurate and durable.
Successes to you in work!
Sometimes at home you need to make holes in wood blanks, metal, chipboard or other material.
The housing of the device provides sleeves that are adjusted by the axis of rotation in horizontal, vertical and inclined planes. These models of the conductors are designed to drill cylindrical products.
The name speaks for itself, the conductor is not attached, it is simply imposed where it is necessary to make a hole.
Capable holes in several planes.
They do not have rotary elements, can move the part and process the same type of blanks.
These conduitors have such a function as deadlab. Which allows you to quickly and conveniently with small businesses will switch to the production of a new product.
Let's start with the concept of the conductor - This is the so-called template, the use of which allows you to carry out comfortable and ultra-precise drilling.
Moreover, drilling can be both perpendicular to the surface and at any angle. If you use a conductor, then you do not need special qualifications, make complex calculations, make markup, where there will be holes, which saves a lot of time.
As we see, thanks to the versatility and simplicity of their design, the conduits received wide use In different fields of activity.
In the engineering industry, used for drilling holes in different blanksmade of common materials. Apply conductors that repeat the drawing with the exact observance of all sizes. Also use when the drilling of the mixed type holes is required.
The most important distribution of the conductors were obtained in furniture production. Furniture conductors are used to install accessories, assembling furniture and many other technological processes.
At the same time, the furniture assembly is accurate, accurate and fast. A large number of furniture contains the waders that should be installed very precisely and here without the conductor nowhere.
The most common conductor for the dowel - doweling. Used mainly overhead conductors made from lightweight materials.
Another sphere in which conductors are widely used to drill holes is a construction. With their help produce drilling of technological holes in building structures, eg, .
Conductor can be bought or done independently.
But before choosing a model, it is necessary to determine for which tasks, it will be used and on the basis of all this data you should select the type and design of the tool.
So why use the conductor to drill holes:
The conductor for drilling holes is an integral part of not only production, but so will also be useful in home.
As a variety of conductors a lot, so we will consider original design and analogue, respectively. So, let's begin.
Its main purpose Obtaining holes in thick blanks, at an angle of 90. In fact, it is a set of bushings of the combined in one case. This is usually an overhead conductor, which are widely used when assembling furniture.
It is worth attaching a device to the surface and you can start immediately to drilling, without a cumbers. There is one minus, the device should be kept tight, and especially at the beginning of work. Because from vibration, the device can shift.
This type of conductors can be made with their own hands.
The homemade conductor can be used, but for more convenient use, the stop should be constructed, for this purpose, a metal width is 23-25 \u200b\u200bmm. and a thickness of 1 mm., after which the sheet bends at an angle of 90 and attached to the conductor. Also in the base of the conductor, you can insert bushings of different diameters.
Everyone knows that it is problematic to make a hole in a sloping surface, the end of the drill is constantly jumping. This type of conductors is fixed in the specified position and allows you to work with high accuracy.
This type of conductors can be done quickly and independently.
That's all the conductor is ready for work. In order for the holes less smashes, they can be reinforced with metal sleeves that are performed from round pipes Different diameter.
This type of drilling is small.
It should be noted here that in products made of metal, this kind of holes are made only by the cutter. As for wooden products, then exist ready solutions in the form of sets.
You simply apply these conductors, press the blank tightly to the base, set the specified height and ultimately get smooth and beautiful oblique holes at an angle. Yes, if we need not through a hole, you are unforgettable on the drill itself to wear a ring-focus.
On their own this species Devices made difficult and problematic. There is enough simple ways and options, but they do not differ accuracy. For example, a drill is put on the prepared inclined surface and drill under the resulting angle our billet, as we understand the accuracy suffers very much.
Their main purpose of observing the monastery of the holes, subsequent to which the sewage will be installed. That is, when you apply, the conductor to both sides of the product, you get the perfect joint.
As you understand, this type of conductors can be made independently. If you have a stream of blanks with the same geometry, you will be conveniently used to use the invoice pattern. It is desirable to use organic or other transparent material (plastic) as a template.
We apply markup and drill holes. It is desirable to score a brass or copper tube holes so that the drill does not break the calibration hole.
When you use the blanks of various shapes and sizes, you will need a universal device. The most interesting thing is that this adaptation can be made of sweater materials.
Any universal conductor for drilling holes is made to save time and money. And you will make it with your own hands or buy in the store already ready to solve only you.
