How to make a horizontal table from a manual millingrer. How to make the milling table with your own hands? What you need to know about the mounting plate

Making a milling table with your own hands, having in front of you drawings, necessary materials, fasteners, not difficult. Some believe that it is better to purchase a finished product. Others are confident that the homemade table allows you to accurately adapt the workstation to your needs, the nuances of the machine with CNC or a conventional manual milling mill. What to choose, solve you.

To make a table for a mill, you must first decide which it will be. Working with a milling machine may differ depending on a number of factors, including the size of the machine itself.

Working on the table for milling machine with CNC begins with the fact that you choose which drawing will become the basis for the manufacture. Not rarely work is carried out without drawings. But then you must draw the parameters of the future table yourself, cut its elements with a circular. Select components that will be required to make a homemade table, it should be based on its main elements.

1. Design type. Work outside the workshop, and with constant movements it provides for a selection of a portable table for a CNC machine or without software control. If the work is carried out in the garage, the workshop without the need to carry the table, you should choose a stationary table under your mill. There is an aggregate type. This is an option when the table top of your milling machine is expanding or a swivel design is manufactured.
2. Countertop. To make the top cover of your desk, use chipboard or MDF sheets. These materials are easily cut with a circular, therefore work does not cause difficulties. Many make a homemade table using a pressed countertop. But it is important to understand that when working in conditions of high dampness, they quickly swell and come into disrepair. Alternatively, you can choose plastic. Of the polymer sheets, an excellent practical tabletop is created. Metal is longer, but heavy material. If you decide to choose aluminum, be sure to cover it with a protective lacquer layer.
3. PAZ and emphasis. Work on the milling machine usually provides for the longitudinal processing of the lateral part of the blanks. If you want to process transverse end items, the design should include a moving focus. This emphasis will move in the grooves. The grooves will also serve as fixing the clamping elements of the design.
4. Installing the mill. Using a homemade table, fastening a manual milling meter to the table can be carried out directly to the bottom of the tabletop or to the removable area. The first option is simpler, but if you select the second method, you will receive some advantages in the form of easier removal of the cutter when changing cutting tools. In this regard, the mounting plate is a more preferred option with which they will have to tinker a little longer.
5. Longitudinal focus. This emphasis acts as a guide for the details processed. Because the most important requirement - the focus is obliged to be as even as possible. Since this is a homemade table, you can do it with a T-shaped groove. Clamping devices and other components that allow you to simplify work on the machine are inserted into it.

All the necessary elements can be cut with a circular. Make a homemade table is not a problem. Countertop, stop, guides, fasteners are clearly indicated in size if you use typical drawings. Taking a ready drawing, you can adapt the homemade table under the CNC machine under your own needs. Act the way it will be better for you. It is not difficult to find the drawings themselves, and the circular is probably in your arsenal of power tools, since you are going to make a table under the CNC machine.

We do with your own hands

To make a table for a manual mill or machine with a CNC module, you will need drawings and the necessary elements of the future design, which we told above.

Choosing a drawing for the future design for a milling machine, be sure to focus on the dimensions of your machine, as well as the dimensions available to accommodate equipment. Making a large table for a small CNC machine does not make sense, smooth, as the opposite.

You can always remake the drawing, make some corrections, relying on the available materials, machine features, the presence of circular and other nuances. If you need a good coordinate table under the mill, it is better to purchase the factory production. The homemade coordinate table is made quite problematic.

We offer you a variant of a small table, work on which will make it easy to place a small desktop mill with CNC or without a module. The advantage of such a design is that it is easy to make it with their own hands, it has small sizes, not sophisticated fasteners are used here.

1. Desktop and side racks are recommended to make from laminated plywood. The material must be thick enough to withstand the load. Approximate sizes of countertops will be 40 by 60 millimeters. Without taking into account the angular focus, the height will be 35 cm. The corner itself has a height of 10 cm. Instead of plywood, a metal or plastic plate can be used. The plate made from such materials is more durable and less susceptible to wear. But the metal plate will add weight by making the table not so mobile and easy.
2. On the surface of the countertop, make three grooves that will serve to install rails. Here can be installed auxiliary components of the future working surface, which may be required to work for milling mills or circularly milling machine.
3. To increase the stability of the structures of the feet of the legs, strengthened with the help of chipboard or sheets MDF №22. The feet of the table should be set at some distance so that there is a place to fix templates and clamps with clamps.
4. Close the machine mechanism by closing the bottom of the front panel by a sheet of plywood or other similar material.
5. Under the side stops must be performed by the grooves for which he can move. In the required location, the focus is fixed by bolts and nuts. Moreover, it is better to use lamb nuts. In this case, you can easily remove the focus and put another unit in its place.
6. The emphasis is connected to the nozzle, which is necessary to remove dust, chips during processing. To remove waste, use conventional corrugated hoses that are widely used when organizing sewage. You can connect a home vacuum cleaner through the clamp.
7. If you have a tabletop, it is better to provide a toggler to turn the machine to turn on and off. If you do not have a tabletop, but a simple manual milling mill, such a toggle switch will not need.
8. The emphasis includes two elements that can move or move along as depending on the size of the working tool. To fix the shutters, use lamb nuts. This design allows you to easily remove the milling device from the bed and change the cutters as needed.
9. What material to use for the mounting surface under the CNC milling machine, solve themselves. Experts advise you to take textolit or plexiglas.

A similar table under a table or manual milling machine can be made using a circular, electric jigsaw and standard tools. The coordinate version of the table is much more complicated, because the work provides for the use of relevant drawings and materials.

Which table to choose you is the coordinate or ordinary homemade under the mill with CNC or without it, solve yourself. Work should be performed qualitatively, observing all the indicated dimensions. Check out the video instructions that will allow you to determine which table for your machine is best suited.

In this material, I will show you how to make the milling table with your own hands. But for a start, a bit of history ... The appearance of manual milling machines in 1974 made it possible in small workshops to carry out a number of works on the manufacture of furniture in a completely different level. At the same time, it was necessary to create a table for a manual milling. Here you can make long grooves of various configurations. If there are special cutters, the desired view of the treated surface of the wood or other soft materials is formed.

Milling tables in shops producing wood products are used for more than 150 years. These machines occupy a lot of space, around them the necessary space is created to perform work with long-length blanks. In private workshops it is easier to use a homemade milling table, which uses a small-sized light machine with a built-in electric drive. Make a similar device for yourself in a couple of days. It is important to determine your needs depending on the tasks for the nearest period.

A small milling table (drawings, components)

Quite often, installed on the support a small-sized substole, in which the hand mill is placed. It can be removed if necessary, and remove to the side, freeing the space inside the workshop.

How to make the milling table with your own hands?

Many masters fit as a conventional workbench as a table. However, in practice it is proved that it is better to have a separate specialized design. Explained simply:

• during work, vibration will occur, which can lead to an unstable position of parts on the workbench;
• to move up and down, a special device will be required (elevator). In the usual workbench of free space does not happen.

An important feature of the freser is the need to install a support plate associated with a tabletop. For it I use metal, plexiglass or durable faeer. Fixation is carried out using holes. Most manual tool manufacturers provide fasteners for their products in advance, assuming that a significant part of their products will be used in the stationary version.

During operation, various cutters are used.

Methods of milling using different types of shaped cutters

Based on the study of well-known structures, a number of basic requirements for the milling table are formulated.

1. The reference plate should be located in the same plane with the table. When moving processed blanks, a vertical displacement on the support is not allowed. Some masters leave the basic sole. Give it to "zero" with a worktop. But most converge in the opinion that it is necessary to make another plate.
2. For convenience and safe use of the machine, the power and shutdown buttons should be placed so as to quickly use them. A situation may occur when you need to urgently turn off the power of the engine.
3. Move the processed parts is performed relative to the stop. It can shift so that the Master has the opportunity to milling edges, as well as grooves in semi-finished products.
4. Useful to think about the installation site. It takes a convenient hike to it. Perhaps you have to mill a long. Then the blanks should be laid on both sides of the table.
5. Some wizards fit only table tops on the existing machine. So it is possible to combine several devices on one bed.

Even the usual table can be converted to the machine. An example of such a reincarnation is shown in the video.

To maximize the use of the machine, you need to minimize the thickness of the reference plate. Then the milling cutter will be maximal. Long finger mills for deep milling can be used. Strength will provide only enough hard materials.

Installation of a device for vertical movement

Movement of the manual milling and down and down is performed using the device called the elevator. Here you use a variety of mechanisms for movement and fixing the specified position.

A possible version of the elevator is provided in the video.

Step-by-step production of the milling table based on a circular machine

There is a circular machine of industrial production. It was decided to carry out its upgrades for the possible installation of milling equipment. At the same time, the basic design does not undergo any changes. The parts manufactured is quite simple and removable, if necessary, it can be removed without any problems. In fact, a removable countertop will be made.

Brief description of the device

	The machine has a retractable wing. It is intended for sawing widescreen sheets. Between the main part and the retractable window, which can be used to accommodate additional technological equipment in it.
	Having put forward the wing to the maximum departure, you can install a tabletop with a milling mill. The installation option is shown.
	After mounting the table top, the retractable wing is pressed closer to the main part of the machine. The gaps are all eliminated. In this position, you can fix an additional tool.
	If you look at the side, then you can see where the hand mill is located.
	To raise and lower the tool, a screwdriver is used. It establishes an end head for 13 mm. It rotates the head of the M8 bolt. By setting the rotation in the desired side, you can choose the direction of movement of the cutter (up or down).

Removable Countertops Making Technology

	As a countertop, a laminated sheet of chipboard is used. Its thickness is 19 mm. The size is 360 · 540 mm. It corresponds to the size of the generated window on the machine. Oriented on the sides, the center is determined. Fleer shaft you need to position in the center. Approved by the reference platform in the selected place and the site stroke is performed.
	On the sheet of chipboard, the contour is formed. You need to make accurate cutting windows on this circuit.
	To install the supporting platform tightly without gaps, you need to drill holes exactly along the edges of the markup. Holes are needed at all extreme points.
	The jigsaw is made to drink windows along the projected circuit. If there are irregularities with abrasive paper and a file, walls are being finalized.
	For the milling mill, two steel rods Ø 8 mm are needed. Construction brakes are used. It will only be necessary to sprinkle them with a cutting disk of the ESM for a length of 255 mm.
	The milling has holes where the rods can be installed. To make it easier for them to install, the available irregularities on the surface of the pins are removed by sandpaper.
	By installing the tool exactly above the window, determine the places where the rods will be located when installed. But for them you need to cut special grooves. They are freserved. Preparation for milling is needed.
	With the help of pistol-type clamps, guide strips are fastened. Regarding them there will be milling grooves under the pins. The depth is also set relative to the surface so that on the front of the table, the refrigerated platform of the milling is exactly lured with the worktop.
	After performing milling on the one hand, proceed to such an operation and for the second rod. Here you also install guide strips and fix them in the desired position.
	From above, the rod must be pressed using the clamping slats. Therefore, it will be necessary to prepare the groove where these wooden elements will be installed. First they cut them and try on the place. Then mark and milling the grooves of the desired dimensions.

	After installation at the site, the rod will be securely and tightly pressed in their grooves.
	It can be seen that the depression under the plank was produced at a lower depth. Constructively and provided initially.
	Install the mill in its place. It is clearly positioned relative to the tabletop used. After fixing, it will stand in a given place without the possibility of moving in any direction.
	Since the manufacturer is carried out in experimental mode, then each stage is checked by pre-assembling structural elements. Currently checked how wooden planks will press the rod and fix the tool at the place.
	For fixing, M8 bolts will be used. They have a secret head. To simplify the installation, carpet nuts will be applied. They are spinning without using the key. Along the way, such a solution allows when tightening adjust the flatness of the soles of the milling carrier on the front side.
	Pressing the details on the reverse side by clamps, the holes are drilled. Special markup was not performed, therefore, to facilitate the assembly, the conjugate fragments are marked with different color markers. The zenker is produced by the coinening of the holes on the working surface of the table under the conical heads of the screws.
	From the inside of the clamping slats, the hole is reserved under Ø 15 mm. G8 nuts will be hidden here. Additionally, with a round file, auxiliary groove is pulled. It will allow the rod to press the rod.
	Bolts are inserted into place. Nuts are spinning. They hide in the prepared holes. The process of assembly and disassembly will not require a lot of time. Bolts will be constantly in this position.
	Now all items are easily installed in place. Additional fit is not needed.
	The countertop can be done on the table. Therefore, it first lays down the working surface down. You will need to turn over to see how it is located on the machine.

	The coup takes place easily. The countertop is installed in its place.
	She got up to the main table of the circular machine. If you drown cutters, then the additional part will not interfere with the execution of work on the sawing of parts. Important! The manufacturer did not deteriorate the properties of the main machine, which provides for installation.
	Cutting the windows and milling auxiliary space inside the countertops was noticeably weakened. Therefore, the gain will be required. To increase the strength of the prefixes manufactured, it is decided to use additional bars. They are cut into the desired size on a sawing machine.
	Drinking longitudinal and transverse bars, they are screwed to the tabletop. Pre-lubricate with glue, and then fixed with self-draws. All holes are pre-drilled by the Ø 3 mm drill, and then they are centered under the head of the self-press Ø 8 mm. Used galvanized wood screws.
	After putting a tabletop to the machine, you can see that the parallel focus will not be able to move through its guides. Requires the design of the table top itself.
	It is noted the surface you want to delete. You can perform this removal using a milling and from two passes on a circular saw.
	After completing the preparation, the tabletop again put in place. To make it easier to work at this stage, the milling and auxiliary devices are removed from it.
	After removing excess the parallel stops can move across the entire table. It is decided to use as a retainer for milling. We will have only a few modify the auxiliary elements.

Production of elevator for milling countertops

	It is necessary to make several auxiliary elements that will help moving the milling milling and down. The type of elevator manufactured is shown.
	Turning it over it, you can consider the features of the device. Visible supports and levers. It is necessary to figure out what and how will it work here.
	The arrow shows a fixed rack. It accounts for the main load from the tool. Therefore, it is special requirements. It must be strong enough. She will have to counteract the weight of the millingrer, as well as the return springs that are installed on this tool.
	This arrow indicates the axis. A lever can rotate relative to it. On this lever "hanging" the mill itself.
	The design of the lever has a feature. There is a radial bulge. It relies on the part of the milling room where there are no ventilation holes. Additionally, it has thickening in a plastic case, so the pressure will not disrupt the integrity of the tool design.
	In the shown Bruke is a nut. If you rotate the screw, the bar will move. Between the lever and the bar is a bracket. Her ends have steel loops. They allow you to adjust the dimensions of all elevator parts.
	Another important element. It has a bolt head. It relies on the bearing. Therefore, it can be rotated in any direction, without making great efforts.
	Of the plywood 20 mm thick will be peeling the main reference rack.
	In order for the stand during operation, it is shifted in any direction, it is enhanced by additional jams. The result is a product resembling a rocket. It remains only to collect a similar device.
	"Rocket" will be installed on the one hand from the existing window.

	For the manufacture of the bracket, a plywood is 20 and 10 mm thick. The outer plates made of ten-minute plywood are screwed to the lever. The pre-plane of the joint is missing by PVA glue.
	From the back of the window, the bearing housing will be installed.
	Before assembling the surface of the supporting "Rockets" are wedged with glue.
	The support legs are screwed up with a long self-tapping screw (75 mm).
	From the reverse side of the countertop holes are drilled under additional fasteners. Such amplification is justified, the resistance of the springs of the mill reaches up to 200 H (20 kg).
	Another 4 screws are applied, the length of which is 60 mm. Attention! When installing self-feeding with the front side, the cennication of holes is performed.
	Bar drills through. Used drill Ø 10 mm.
	Here you will need to install a clogged nut. In order for the sharp edges did not damage the bar itself, the holes Ø 2.5 mm perch at a depth of 1.5 mm.
	Nut is pressed into place. For this, the bar with the nut is placed between the sponges of the vice and squeeze the nuts to the place before the final fit.
	Detail gets the desired view. The nut is firmly fixed on Broke. Strength sufficient for the normal performance of this element element of the elevator.

	To install the head of the bolt, you need to drill a hole with a diameter of 20 mm. Hereinafter, the end head will be used, so a hole with some reserve is prepared. The depth of drilling is 16 mm (chipboard with a thickness of 19 mm). Important! The bottom is installed with a plywood 20 mm thick. Therefore, the strength of the design will not be broken.
	After drilling a deaf hole drilled through. Its diameter is 8.5 mm. Bearing and bolt will be installed here.
	Nut is put between the head of the bolt and the bearing. A closed bearing is used, into which chips and dust will not be able to fall.
	Turning the tabletop, the long bolt is visible (180 mm). It must be fixed so that it can rotate.
	The washer is installed, and then the nut with fluoroplastic insert is twisted. The installed fluoroplast will not allow it to be unwound. It is not tight, it remains a gap of about 0.5 mm. It will allow the bolt to rotate and transmit efforts in any direction.
	Between the bolt and the lever, the gap remains, which should be filled. Need a bracket and overhead loops.
	There are not enough ordinary loops, you will need to install additional planks.
	The length of these slats is selected.
	Self-tapping screws are screwed into the bar. They will wear a loop.
	After putting on the loop, it will not be able to play independently from the head of the screw. In the loop, the existing grooves are already holes that the hat is worn from the metric.

	It remains to collect the entire design of the elevator. All structural elements mentioned earlier are made.
	By installing a tabletop in the machine window, you can check the performance of the elevator design. A screwdriver is used to which the end head is installed on 13. Starting rotation in one or another direction, the movement of the cutter is up or down. Using the measurement tool, you can set the depth of milling grooves on the items.

Making devices for parallel stop

	An additional element is cut from bar. He will serve as a guide for milling.
	Half of the circle is selected on the drilling machine. It will "hide" mill.
	Power fragment is ready. It remains only to consolidate it to the parallel eagle.
	The easiest way to use pistol-type clamps. They are fixed with an appropriate element. You can milling grooves or quarters.
	Milling countertop to the machine is ready. It expands the functional properties of the base machine.

A similar removable countertop can be installed in any suitable tube. Then it turns out a separate milling machine, manufactured at home. This device is characterized by the greatest simplicity and reliability.

Design tables for the milling mill can be different. Different masters equip their devices with various types of elevators. Even stops depending on the needs may have its own execution. You only need to choose something that will be convenient to perform certain work.

Some professionals use different types of stops. The choice is determined by the type of frequencies used and the appointment of future parts.

The roller shows an option for self-making table for placing a milling.

Mill is the most commonly used tool of self-respecting masters. Thanks to him, you can make things known to us with incredible ease. There are operations in the joinery, which cannot be performed without this tool.

The mill consists of the engine, the collet for fastening the replaceable milling cutters, the rolver regulator, the vertical rod. In a model range of any manufacturer, there are many models with different capacities. Hand mill - a fairly universal electrical device that has a wide potential and capabilities. Improve the milling mill becomes possible by setting it on a horizontal surface, which will allow processing quite large blanks using minimal effort.

Purpose of milling table

The milling mill in the table or workbench allows you to achieve good results in the manufacture of many products. In the production of furniture is an indispensable inventory. Since this process often requires the torch of the edge of the canvases, the manufacture of figure grooves and recesses.

Such tables can be found in large stores selling tools. The cost of such equipment directly depends on the functionality and the material from which they are made. But even with the most minimal set of functions, but with high-quality coating, the price for such goods is large enough. For a simple amateur, which is engaged in his pleasure in the garage, the price is inaccessible. The output is the homemade table for the mill.

Before you start purchasing material for the future table, you should decide on its functionality. Consider the main possibilities of a manual milling and its machine option.

Operations with manual milling

• Figure or rectilinear treatment of ends or edges of blanks.
• Reception of holes of various shapes for installing furniture fittings.
• Removal of quarters of thickness.
• Grinding and cutting of workpieces.
• Drilling.
• Clean processing of the place of the cut.
• Recessing grooves of slots, grooves.

Operations with milling table

The table for the milling handers allows you to perform such operations as:

• parallel finishing cutting;
• torling surfaces and edges of large length;
• quarter sample;
• finish edge processing.

It becomes clear from the list, all the same operations are performed on the milling table as with a conventional hand mill, but only with greater accuracy and quality. In addition, the size of the billets is already more than more.

Selection of manual milling

For a tiny workshop, the purchase of a separate milling mill is a non-disabilities. Consequently, the milling table will be required with the rapid construct of the mill. It means that it will work in two versions, both on the table and in manual mode. This will require high-quality power tools.

There are two varieties of manual milling:

• submersible;
• furious.

Their names are talking about their functionality. Since the tracing mill is narrowly specialized, its further consideration will not be interesting for the reader.

By power, the electric tool is classified on:

• low power - from 500 to 1100 watts;
• average power - from 1200 to 1800 watts;
• high power - from 1900 to 2500 watts.

Professionals are advised to handle small billets to use low power milling mills, it allows you to achieve maximum convenience in your work. There will be a few approaches to take passages, removing a small thickness, layer behind the layer. However, such milling mills cannot be installed on a special table. For these purposes, the power mills of about 2000 watts will be suitable.

Also, when choosing, you should pay attention to the following instrument capabilities:

• maximum depth of lowering the rack;
• smooth start;
• the presence of spindle rotation adjustment;
• dynamic brake;
• maintain the number of revolutions under load.
• chip removal system.

All these parameters determine the quality of the manual millingrer, which will be useful both in manual mode and in the machine mode.

Milling table device

Any milling table consists of the following elements:

• directly the most powerful;
• countertops;
• parallel stop;
• chip removal systems;
• boxes for storing spare parts and various cutters;
• horizontal clips.

Depending on the functional problems of the milling table, it is possible to make it in such options:

• power table top with a milling mill;
• stationary countertop;
• stationary countertop with parallel focus;
• stationary countertop with parallel focus, with a vertical milling elevator, transverse cutting cutter.

Materials

How to make a table for a milling thing? What should have a person in his arsenal who decided to do this? To begin with, we need a drawing of the table for a manual milling. Find it easy. Therefore, make the table for the manual millingrer is quite real. There are also many detailed master classes and videos of local craftsmen who boast their creations. There are models that are so multifunctional, which is combined in themselves, in addition to the milling, also drilling, grinding and cutting tables.

Material for manufacture is suitable almost any. Mostly use chipboard sheets, laminated plywood or ordinary phaneer with a thickness of at least 8 millimeters. Also need self-tapping screws with a secret head, aluminum corners (furniture), PVA glue.

Assembly

Consider how the easiest table for the milling maker is going. We will produce it from laminated plywood. The size of the tabletop will take 400 millimeters wide and 400 millimeters in length. Laminated board is perfect for the tabletop. She has a number of advantages compared to plywood:

• wear-resistant surface;
• low cost;
• fast replacement.

However, we decided to make the table for a manual milling milling plywood. Gently cut it on the outlined size. The legs will be made of the same material. He retreats from the edges of 20-30 centimeters and fasten the legs with a worktop, the joints of the joint pre-wrapped with glue and make two or three holes for tightening the screws.

In the tabletop we do the following technological holes:

• big circular to the outlet of the collet with a cutter;
• parallel groove for fastening guide;
• you can make a small groove for fastening the line.

Parallel emphasis can be made of the same materials as the worktop. The emphasis consists of two parts, the border of the section passes exactly in the center of the installed milling cutter. They should move independently of each other. To increase milling capabilities, it is desirable that the parallel focus has two degrees of freedom. That is, it could be tilted relative to the countertops, and turn parallel to it. This will make it difficult to make products.

Among other things, from the opposite side of the parallel stop, an extension is made with a square shape cover, a vacuum cleaner nozzle is inserted into one end. As a rule, the chip removal system is made on both sides, one top behind the focus, the second directly near the collet of the mill.

This is the easiest table for the millingrer with your own hands. In the future, it is possible to finalize and install an elevator for convenient regulation of departure in height and horizontal cutters.

Additional devices

Since the hand mill installed in the table is an electrical tool, the external switch can be mounted for security. This will allow you to conveniently and safely turn on and off the device when it will be necessary. Here you can also install additional outlets to connect a portable lamp or hand drill.

With a sufficient free place, milling tables are made with dimensions of 1500 per 1500 millimeters and a half-meter height. Full work stations are obtained. At the same time, the retractable shelves are made in them, in which it is convenient to store various cutters and a key for changing the spindle. The large table allows you to process large sheets of plywood or other material, so often used in the manufacture of furniture or doors. Such a table increases the accuracy of the parts being processed and reduces the percentage of marriage in the manufacture.

Safety

It is worth remembering that the tables for wood milling machines are sources of increased danger. The frequency of rotation of the cutter comes up to 25,000 revolutions per minute. Any awkward movement will lead to irreparable consequences. Hands should be kept at the most safe distance from the spinning head, change the mill on a stopped and de-energized machine.

When working you need to wear special glasses, which protect eyes from entering small shavings. The noise level during operation is high enough, you should take care of the corresponding precautionary measures. Do not let me up to the Full of Children.

Currently, milling equipment is particularly popular. The essence of this type of material processing is that the cutter processes the workpiece that is fixed still, that is, the tool itself rotates, and the blank is not. However, this is not always convenient if it comes to manual fresher. The table for manual milling is a great solution to this problem. You can make a design that will allow you to move the workpiece, and the manual mill itself will be fixed stationary. The question arises how to make the table for a manual milling hand.

Of course, you can try to search for a ready-made solution, but it will be done quite difficult, since the hand mill is a specific tool. This table can be done quite simple. However, for a start should decide on its design.

Selection of type mounted table

Table for manual milling whether you can make three types:

• portable;
• stationary;
• aggregate.

If we talk about the portable version, it is ideal for a manual milling. This table can be used not only directly in the workshop, but also drag it to any other comfortable place.

If we are talking about working in a limited space, as well as in a permanent place, the stationary version looks preferable. It will be possible to make not only operations using a manual millinger, but also a lot of other actions. For example, saw blanks.

Drawing of milling table with milling elevator.

In the event that the first two options are not suitable, you need to choose the third.

Before making your own hands, a table for a manual milling ager, it is necessary to clearly represent, from what major parts it consists. Here must be a bed, a countertop, a mounting plate, stops. These are the parts that are part of any table for manual milling. The easiest option is to use the finished table. It will simply be necessary to attach additional details. Here you have to make stops, fit and think about the fastener method.

However, it is worth considering the process from the very beginning in more detail, so that there are no questions about how to make the table for a hand milling hand.

Stanna and its features

The bed is an integral part of any table for a mill. Moreover, this applies not only to the manual option, but also ordinary. The bed consists of two parts - frame and countertops.

MDF or chipboard will be needed for work, as well as metal profiles and wood.

It is a metal profile that provides a simple assembly of the whole design. Here, all joints are not welded, and fasten through bolted connections. In this case, the compounds are trusted, and if necessary, they are easy to disassemble.

As for the sizes of the bed, they are selected depending on the size of the part on it will be most often processed. In order to avoid mistakes, it is worth getting a drawing. It should indicate all overall and geometric dimensions.

List of materials and parts for the manufacture of milling table.

As for the height of the bed, it should be optimal for work. It is best to choose a height from 0.8 to 1 m. However, it all depends mainly on the growth of the person himself, who has to work with the help of a manual milling. To avoid hiding legs of the lower table in the process of work, it is worth making it in-depth in relation to the top. In this case, all problems of this kind fall out.

For the manufacture of the cover should be used by the chipboard. This material perfectly opposes various types of vibrations. In addition, a similar surface will be solid and smooth, which means that it will easily slide and move the workpiece.

You can use thick plastic. Such a surface is fairly easy to handle with any tools. In addition, plastic is a smooth material by which the workpiece will greatly slide. It does not even need additional processing. Plastic is easy to cut and process. This allows you to make excellent grooves on its surface and fasteners.

Aluminum table top is an excellent option. This material is easily processed and is not exposed to external aggressive factors. First of all, we are talking about moisture. Aluminum is not subject to corrosion. The countertop will last for many years.

Mounting plate: nuances

The mounting plate is one of the main parts of the machine. It is simply necessary to install it. The mounting plate allows you to maintain the design features of the milling machine. This is done if the height of the bed exceeds 25 mm. This size takes place, since the bed is made in a height of 1 m.

Very often, a metal sheet is used for the manufacture of such a plate. It must have a minimum thickness. You can use a sheet of textolite.

This material is characterized by the highest strength that in this case is a necessity.

The mounting plate can have different sizes, but they must fully match the size of the countertops. It should not be too thick. Its optimal thickness is approximately 6-8 mm.

In the center of the workpiece, it is necessary to do a hole, which in diameter will be equal to the corresponding characteristic in the milling sole. Most models have special holes to which the plate is attached. If there are no such, then they should be done on their own. For these purposes, a drill is used in which the metal drill is installed. You can do without unnecessary holes.

Any manual milling machine can be secured by brackets with springs.

This attachment method is also quite effective, but it is worth remembering that the brackets must be made of durable material, since the result of the work there are numerous loads that cause the vibration of the machine. It can harm both the mill itself and cause an accident.

All parts for the table are now ready. It is very important that they have been made in accordance with this instruction. Otherwise, the likelihood is that work will be made poorly.

A person who likes to create and make various things on his own, will get a great pleasure from creating a milling table. This is a rather difficult, but fascinating business. Make a table for a milling hand - it means to get a design that is much less done at the factory. During the production of the milling table, it is necessary to comply with the safety technique.

The milling table is intended for processing materials, cutting curly holes, compounds. The table made with your own hands will be more economical and much more convenient than purchased.

Work at which it is necessary to perform milling is always associated with the movement of the tool along the surface of a rigidly fixed billet. However, when you need to perform milling parts with small dimensions, some difficulties appear. To solve such a problem, you can make a table for a milling hand. In this case, the tool will have a stationary fastening, the billet must move. As a result, it will be possible to quickly carry out the end processing and remove the skes.

Standard milling table

The simplest way to create a table for a milling mill is considered to be the installation of the milling agener straight to the tabletop. Fastening takes place through a drilled hole. Such installation has shown itself positively in operation. In this case, the millinger is located at an angle of 90 ° to the tabletop, it is rigidly fixed to the table, which extinguishes excessive vibration.

This installation is considered the best if the mill has a solid foundation if it has the ability to regulate the tool immersion. The base of the milling bag must be fixed on the tabletop so that the mill can be lowered to the desired depth. This molding method has some disadvantages that need to be borne.

First, the thickness of the table top affects the working range of the instrument, it allows you to work with mills having long shanks.

Secondly, the performance of work is limited to the only diameter of the hole for fastening the cutter.

And the latter, if there is one milling mill, its constant installation and removal, change cutters, the height control is very uncomfortable.

Stanna production

Under the face is understood as the main part, without which no table is required for the mill. To make it, are suitable for a variety of materials. You can apply metal profiles, MDF plates, wood, and so on.

Perhaps the best option will be the use of a metal profile. Available butt connections during the assembly are attached only by bolts. Welding works are excluded. The design will get high reliability, it will be technological and easy to assemble.

The dimensions of the beds do not have fixed sizes, they are selected by each cleaner purely individually. The main criterion will be the size of the details that have to be processed. For the errorless definition of the sizes of the bed, it is best to make a small sketch.

In order to work comfortably, the frame must be deepened to the floor for about 15 cm. The most important parameter of the table is its height. It will be optimal to 1 m. To get a maximum amenities, there is a table for a milling mill to provide adjustable supports.

Cover device

It is best for this detail a kitchen countertop made from a chipboard having a thickness of 40 mm. This material is perfectly extinguished by vibration, it has a solid, an absolutely smooth surface that the workpiece is perfectly moving.

A modern phenolic plastic of high hardness is also suitable for the production of the lid. It has an absolutely smooth surface, no moisture is afraid. Plastic does not cause difficulties in processing, which makes it possible to make grooves where aluminum profiles and stops will be installed. The only drawback is its high cost.

To get tables for a milling mill more reliable for long-term operation, you can make an aluminum countertop. This material never corps, it has a small weight. But before the manufacture of aluminum, you need to be placed so that there are no dirty traces on the billets.

Plates for the installation of the mill in the table

Tables for the milling bag have the plates required to install directly to the table. This method has several advantages.

Due to the fact that the plate has a thickness of no more than 10 mm, it is possible to easily reach the milling mill to replace the cutter.

You can use additional plates inserts to be able to use different diameters. Such a plane-insert can become a support plate with the operation of milling surfaces on the details of large dimensions. The plate gives a milling increased stability, the application of the plates helps to carry out the milling of the wide groove of parts.

Perform the insertion plate is quite difficult. It is necessary to first drill the seawing hole in the table to get a dense landing for the subsequent insertion of the plate. In the case when there are large gaps, reinforced vibration occurs. In the absence of a reliable tight fastening with a table, the accuracy of milling will not be maintained. Too large hole drilled in the table top of the milling table, will lead to it. Therefore, when calculating the diameter of the hole, you need to take care of creating an increase in the tabletop. It is of great importance so that the countertop with the insert is made flush. Additional gaskets, washers and so on to cope with such a problem.
