Overview of drill bits for work in the country
With a large selection of different drill bits, this versatile device can replace many other tools. So, for example, grinding discs eliminate the need to purchase a grinding machine, and the attachment for tightening screws and self-tapping screws will replace a screwdriver.
With the help of such snap-ins, you can perform the following actions:
- grinding;
- polishing;
- cutting;
- mixing;
- twisting;
- drilling holes of different diameters;
- milling.
When used correctly, the result will be of the same quality as if the work was done with a dedicated single-purpose tool. you cannot do without a drill with different attachments when building a chicken coop, a pigsty, rabbit cages and other outbuildings in the country.
Types of attachments
- stops;
- for drilling holes, crowns;
- cutting, scissor attachments "Steel beaver" and "Cricket";
- for drilling at an angle;
- polishing and grinding;
- cutters for wood and metal;
- feather-removable;
- sharpening.
The parallel stop is used to adjust the depth of immersion of the drill; there are also special drill stands for the bottom of a reliable tool holder. In addition to the standard drilling function, blind holes can be drilled with a drill, for example, for hinges in wooden furniture. In this case, a Forstner drill is used. The base of the hole is flat and the edges are absolutely smooth. Or they use feather drills instead.
Cutting attachments
Unlike a grinder, drill bits for cutting metals work more delicately and do not deform the coating of the material being processed. The tooling is driven by the tool holder on which it is installed.
For cutting metals, you should choose drill models with a speed of at least 2800 rpm.
Advantages of cutting attachments:
- smooth cut;
- comfortable work;
- easy to use and maintain, no adjustment required.
The Cricket drill attachment is a nibbler with two cutting heads. They are used for cutting thin sheet metal: profiled metal sheets, metal tiles, profiled or sheet plastic, as well as polycarbonate. "Cricket" is simply irreplaceable when building on the site a fence from a metal profile.
Cricket is used for sheets of materials with the following parameters:
- sheet steel thickness should not be more than 1.5 mm;
- stainless steel up to 1.2 mm;
- aluminum, copper and plastic no more than 2 mm.
The cut after processing this bit always remains smooth, without chipping, and the coating intact.
To make a high-quality and even internal cut, you must first drill a hole.
The nozzle matrix rotates, thanks to which it can be operated with both horizontal and vertical surfaces. The recommended number of tool revolutions for using this accessory is 3000 rpm, minimum 1500 rpm.
The Steel Beaver scissor attachment is also used for cutting profiled sheet metal and tiles.
The principle of operation is similar to the previous nozzle, the cut occurs due to the frequent reciprocating movements of the punch, which bends the material and breaks it against the matrix.Curves and straight cuts can be made with such equipment. The minimum cutting radius is 1.2 cm. You can work with it at any angle (360 °). Compared to Sverchk, the tooling is capable of cutting a steel sheet of greater thickness - 1.8 mm. The main advantage of the nozzle is a smooth cut, and due to the absence of sparks during operation, the protective coating of the material does not deform.
At the end of the work, you should carefully handle the sheet material, since the cut edge becomes sharp after processing.
Grinding and polishing attachments
The following types of work can be carried out using the drill bits for grinding and polishing:
- polishing of metal, wood and glass surfaces;
- grinding metal, parts made of it and other materials;
- removal of corrosion, scale, chipping and old coatings;
- grinding the edge of the glass.
In comparison with special tools, these devices have a low price, and can cope with a large number of different tasks, I make any surface perfectly flat and smooth. In addition, they can handle hard-to-reach places where it is impossible to use other tools. But due to their small size, it is difficult for them to perform a large amount of work.
When purchasing a drill bit for processing wood or other material, you should carefully study the instructions. Since different types of equipment require different power and number of tool revolutions.
All polishing and sanding attachments are a rod on which sanding material such as foam, felt, brushes or sandpaper is fixed.
The following types are produced:
- plate;
- disk;
- fan-shaped;
- drum;
- end;
- cup.
Polishing devices are divided not only by the type of design, but also by the degree of hardness: hard, soft, super soft, embossed.
Cup
The cup attachment for a drill for grinding wood or other coating consists of a rod for fixing in a chuck, and a cup-shaped body filled with hard or light bristles. It is most commonly used to remove corrosion or old coatings. Also available in models with a soft polishing part: foam, felt or other similar material. The body is made of durable and lightweight plastic or metal. Soft drill bits are most often used for car polishing.
Disc and plate
Disk devices, like cup devices, consist of a rod, a body and a grinding material. The main difference from the previous model is the direction of the bristles (steel wire, brass brush), it is directed from the center to the edges of the disc. You need to use them carefully, as you can quickly ruin the coating.
The dish attachments for a drill for polishing or grinding are made according to the same principle as for grinding devices. But instead of a thread, they are equipped with a movable or fixed rod for fixing in the chuck. Sandpaper is attached to them with Velcro.
Experts recommend purchasing plate nozzles with a movable rod, rubber or with a soft and thick layer between the Velcro and the base. Since then you can adjust the angle of the drill and smoothly follow the contours of the material.
When working with a stiff cymbal, it is more difficult to control, and even with a slight tilt, it will make a noticeable indentation in the surface. As a result, you can completely ruin the material. Therefore, it is recommended to use them only with the tool firmly attached to the stand.
Fan (petal), drum and end
Grinding fan nozzles for a drill are a small disc in the center, to the edges of which are fixed the petals of sandpaper or other abrasive material. Such a device is convenient to handle hard-to-reach places, internal cavities or to grind holes, as it can take any shape.They are fixed in the drill chuck in the same way as previous models, using a rod.
The drums are made in the form of a cylinder with a rod covered with sandpaper on the outside. Unlike a tray drill bit, the working surface is parallel to the chuck, not perpendicular. They process wood, metal, glass. Most often they are used for sharpening the glass end. They are soft and hard, depending on the purpose of the appointment.
The end ones are a rod, at the end of which the processing material is fixed in the form of a circle or a cone. The attachments work like a file. They can be used to increase the diameter of the hole, and also remove jags and smooth edges.
Other nozzles
The angle drill bit allows you to make holes in places where it is impossible to work normally. The angle can be adjusted or be constant - 90 °. Crowns are used for drilling in wood, concrete, ceramic and tile tiles, metal and other materials of large holes. They are made of high quality steel so that the holes are smooth, without chips or cracks.
Nozzle on drill for sharpening drills is a housing with a leash and a sharpening stone inside. The sharpening holes have different diameters. Their number can reach 15 pieces. Mixer attachments are used to mix various solutions, paints and other mixtures. They are selected depending on the consistency. There is also a special attachment for tightening self-tapping screws or screws, but it should be purchased for drills equipped with a speed reduction function.
For poultry owners, a feather-detachable drill attachment for plucking birds has been developed. It instantly and safely removes all feathers from the carcass. This does not damage the skin and meat. Before work, you do not need to pre-scald the carcass or process it after plucking with a blowtorch.
The drill attachment for plucking a bird is easy to use, you just need to properly fix the tool and bring the bird to it. Made from materials that can be easily washed and takes up very little space.
For those who work with wood material, various types of cutter attachments are available. They allow you to make grooves of various shapes, process holes or remove defects. They are pointed and recessed.
Before working with any attachments, you should check the reliability of their fastening in the chuck and the material being processed. The drill must be held with both hands. During work, be sure to use protective equipment (gloves, glasses).
