Building something, installing a fence - all of this, of course, requires a drill. With it, gardeners also check the groundwater level. It's no secret that you can pay money to someone else's uncle who comes with his tool and digs a hole in the ground. You can also rent this equipment. But why not make your own tool, and what is the sequence of all forthcoming actions? Next, you will find all the information you need on how to do a do-it-yourself punch.
Tool - with your own hand
The standard diameter is about 260 mm. Well, if we decided to make a manual pit ourselves, then here the flight of fantasies is not limited. The diameter of the Yamobur can be very different, depending on what purpose it is created for and what they will do. Dimensions are completely dependent on the width of the blades. And that means, whatever size is conceived, you need to sketch a sketch. Repair in the country - this is an excellent reason to do a yamobur do it yourself. Drawings can be done by ourselves.
Choosing the Right Design
First, we distinguish between the purpose of the drill. The drill is made either reinforced or ordinary construction. The difference between these two designs is palpable:
- weight;
- volume;
- the possibility of transportation;
- breadth of use;
- convenience of storage.
For a typical small design you will need:
- metal;
- sharp blade made from a machine spring.
Construction collection
Thus, you can collect a real ordinary Yamobur. To do this, we weld the blades from the machine spring to the metal, we get finished blades. The blades should resemble the structure and structure of an ax. So that when drilling, the blades do not bend, and all the roots that have fallen are cut. Such a Yamobur, made with one's own hands, is suitable for digging pits with a depth of not more than 1.5 meters.
For a more complex design, the Yamobur is supplemented with a tube of a larger diameter or a metal sheet, which is wrapped in a circle of blades, creating a screw. One of these reinforcements is firmly welded to the main shaft or blades. Yamobur, made by hand according to a powerful scheme, differs from the conventional drill in its blades, twisted like a spiral staircase. This achieves greater strength. The blades will not become dull, but when bending, they will nevertheless assume their original position and will not break.
It is desirable to make the Yamobur handle removable, then in case of an additional increase in height it will be possible to add more tubes or change to a larger handle. When making a handle for a Yamobur, it must be foreseen that it may be necessary to insert a lever into it to create an additional moment of force.
Tip: after the do-it-yourself Yamobur has been completely assembled, it is recommended that you red-hot it and lower it into engine oil. Such processing will give more strength and flexibility to the yamobur.
Preparatory stage
As already understood, manual Yamobur - an indispensable thing, which simply can not do without in gardening, construction or repair work. At the summer cottage, a drill is needed for planting seedlings and trees, for pouring foundation supports, for replacing fence posts, etc. And, of course, to save money, we advise you not to buy or rent it, but to make your own. It will cost much cheaper than those that are on the shelves of specialized construction stores. But for any undertakings, especially in an unusual and not yet familiar thing, you will need a good and detailed briefing.
Be sure to pre-cook all the tools that you may need during the work, so as not to get distracted and not to run after every little thing.
Instruments:
- Drill.
- Emery circle.
- Smooth and even fittings.
- Lathe.
- Steel sheet.
- Welding.
- A piece of gas pipe.
Do-it-yourself Yamobur. Instruction manual
- It is necessary first of all to complete all the workpieces. To do this, we cut out future blades from a steel sheet. The diameter of the blades should be 5 mm larger than the desired dimensions of the pit. In principle, it can be anything. Before starting work, it is better to determine what you will drill and what width the holes are supposed to be. You can also make blades of different diameters.
- In each prepared blade, you need to drill holes where the fittings will enter (base for the drill). At the same time, we make holes 1 mm larger than the diameter of the reinforcement itself.
- Make steel bushings. To do this, you need a lathe. Next, we drill 2 radial holes in the prepared sleeve. And in the holes you need to cut the thread. Thus, through them, with a bolt or nut, the blades will be connected to the main reinforcement.
- Using an emery wheel, we cut out a small sector on the blades. The outer ends of the sector are pulled in such a way as to obtain a helical surface. The bottom cutout must be sharpened at an angle of 45 or 60 degrees. At this stage, the blades from blanks turned into finished cutting blades.
- With an emery circle, we make flats on reinforcement with a depth of about 3 mm. Flats are desirable to do, stepping back from the edges of the rack 8-10 centimeters.
- The lower end of the rack will also need to be sharpened. The angle of sharpening is 25-30 0 . In the same place we form grooves in the form of a spiral. To do this, we need to use a cutting wheel.
- At the end of the rack you can still weld a drill bit for metal. Thanks to this, the installation of the drill will be better in entering dense soil and will not break.
- We attach a handle, preferably a removable one, to the fittings - the stand of our drill. On the stand, the handle can be attached using a sleeve.
Tip: for drilling to a depth of more than 2 meters, you will need additional elements. These elements are called knees. They are best made from the same reinforcement as the main core of the drill. So, it will be possible at any time to add height to the borax and, conversely, shorten it.
Yamobur for a tractor
Like a conventional do-it-yourself Yamobur, a tool is made for a tractor for the same purpose. The only difference between them is that a person controls the hand drill, and the tractor runs on motor traction. So, you don’t have to call for help from a neighbor or anyone else. The tractor will help to overpower even the hardest soil.
Unlike a hand drill, fasteners for canopy and tractor engagement must be made to the main shaft.
DIY electric Yamobur
Yamobur electric is still the same ordinary tool, only equipped with an electric drive. Electrical installation also facilitates human labor. An electric Yamobur is not always a network connection. Often in such units use diesel fuel, gasoline or gas as an energy source.
You can try to make an electric drill from a drill (a “Rebir” with a power of 2 kW is well suited) and a screw. At the same time, the drill has a third cone, which means that a lathe will be needed to make recesses on one and the other side. A drill with a third cone must be welded to the adapter, but the drill part must be cut off.
The design is very massive, and one is difficult to handle manually. It is better to raise the equipment with an electric winch, and install a radiator on the thyristor.
