Stand for the USM with their own hands (photo)

Angle grinding machine is a tool that has a rather obstinate character. With the help of this equipment, it is possible to grind, cut and polish surfaces, but the unit operates at high speeds, and in the hands of holding it it can sometimes be quite difficult. As a result, it is not necessary to expect high accuracy. To solve this problem, the stand for the USM is excellent, it's quite easy to manufacture it yourself.

For this, craftsmen usually use metal, but some have learned to adapt even wood, because it is easy to process and available. Practice shows that such a solution proves to be very short-lived, but it is great for those who do not so often use the Bulgarian.

Is not it easier to purchase

The stand for Bulgarians has recently become an excellent assistant for professionals and home masters who are used to working with an angle grinder. The device is very convenient, and if you have to operate the equipment often, you can purchase an additional tool if necessary, so that you do not waste time installing it on the rack each time. If this approach is unacceptable for you, then you can make a stand yourself.

In addition, models of Chinese production are ready to serve not as long as we would like. They are made of sheet metal by punching technology. Vibration of the instrument leads to the fact that light parts from vibration scatter, and the design itself has a negligible weight, and also has a low level of stability. The purchase of an expensive rack option can not be expensive. If you do not consider this approach, it is better to make a device for installing the Bulgarians yourself.

What material to choose for the manufacture of a tripod

If the UWB rack is manufactured by one's own hands, it is important to think about what material to use for the work. The most commonly used profiled metal pipes. This material is the most reliable and strong, which is why it is so popular.

However, there may be some problems in that the master will have to use the technology of electric welding. Equipment for this at hand can simply not be found. However, almost all welding work can be replaced with the use of strong bolts, which are installed in pre-drilled holes. This option is the best approach, because in this case there will be an opportunity to disassemble the machine.

What you need to make a rack

Quite often in recent years, domestic masters have made a stand for the USM with their own hands. If you decide to use profiled pipes in your work , then cut the workpieces and drill the holes. Before cutting pipes it is important to specify the dimensions so as not to spoil the expensive material.

In work, you can use wood, in this case the rack can be manufactured with less labor costs. But the process can have some difficulties, expressed in poor quality of the components and wear of the material. Therefore it is recommended to use high-quality lumber, which is not subject to deformation.

Preparation of tools and materials

If you build a stand for the UWB yourself, then you should take care of the availability of tools and materials, such as:

• bolt;
• screw;
• nut;
• drill;
• Pliers;
• Screwdrivers;
• a metal sheet;
• grinding wheel;
• a set of keys;
• Self-tapping screws;
• welding machine;
• Drilling machine;
• Gon;
• Milling machine;
• washer.

Design features

Before you start working, you need to determine which nodes the design will have. It can have a frame, which is a metal or wooden plate in the form of a frame. Sometimes the system is supplemented by a carriage for the material and the tool. If you wish, you can install the transmitting node on the rollers. If you want the Bulgarian or the material to move to a certain angle, then you should provide for the tilt nodes.

Making the simplest model

You can make a stand for the USM with your own hands, a photo of these structures is recommended to be considered in advance. They are proposed in the article. The simplest solution will be a holder, which is made of metal and textolite. You can use only the first version of the material. Wood in this case it is better not to use, because it will not be able to withstand the load.

The device will look like plates, which are fastened together by screws or by welding. The latter technology can be used if only metal is used in the work. Bolts need to be applied when the design assumes the presence of textolite. One of the plates will serve as a mobile platform, it can be made from a steel 3-mm sheet or duralumin. This element should have dimensions equal to 35 x 15 cm.

As an alternative solution you can use textolite, but in this case, you should use a 6-mm workpiece. If the stand for the grinder of the USM is hand-made, the second plate will perform the function of the stop. It is made of a 4-mm piece of steel, the dimensions of which are equal to 125 x 50 mm. This node will have the main load, so it is not recommended to use thin metal. Otherwise, work with the rack can be unsafe.

On one half of the plate, several holes should be made using a 4.5 mm diameter drill. This will allow for fixation on the platform. In the central part of the second half, an 8 mm hole should be made. In the platform holes are made and reamed on the reverse side for the installation of secret screws. Instead of the second plate, you can use a 4-mm corner, drill it accordingly.

The corner or plate is screwed and welded to the platform so that the cutting disc is 5 mm away from the edge of the frame. When the stand for the USHM 230 is hand-made, the corner must be bent relative to the frame by 60 ° C. The cut-off power tool must be fixed to the top with a bolt with a lock nut, this will eliminate the torque of the bolt and vibration during work. On this you can assume that the device is ready.

Rack complement nodes

In order to provide increased accuracy of cutting and to facilitate work, it is necessary to supplement the device with metal angles and wooden blocks, their dimensions should be as follows:

• 30 x 30 x 420 mm;
• 27 x 30 x 35 mm;
• 55 x 30 x 80 mm;
• 120 x 60 x 25 mm.

From the end of the longest gon you need to measure 12 cm and bend the workpiece in the shape of the letter "G". In this element and the main platform, it is necessary to drill holes, which must be reamed for screws with a secret hat. The plate and the square are joined at the next stage, the bars are placed on top, and after that the construction should be screwed with screws. In order to facilitate the work, you need to install an additional handle.

Another node for the rack

When the stand for the USM 125 is executed by one's own hands, it can be supplemented with one more node. For this purpose, a universal stop in the form of a guide is used, which is made of metal strips, their width can vary from 75 to 100 cm. There should be two such blanks.

It will take a gon, its length can be equal to the limit of 30 to 70 cm. Having borrowed the roller units from the door boxes in the amount of 2 pieces, it is necessary to add a rack to these nodes. The assembly is carried out according to the following technology. On the platform, guides are fixed, and two strips are screwed on top. Their ends should be separated from each other by an equal distance. At the ends of the bands, the square is fixed in such a way that it bends downward. When a self-made stand for a grinder (USM) is performed by one's own hands, clamps or a screw clamp are used to fasten the roller units. It should consist of an 8-mm plate, the length of which is equal to the main platform. Whereas the width can be equal to a limit of 5 to 8 cm.

Conclusion

Quite a popular household tool in recent years has become an angle grinder. It is an indispensable tool for installation and repair and construction works. With its help, you can cut stones and metal, as well as other structural metals. But exploiting such equipment is quite difficult, because its working parts move with great speed. You can make a stand for the USM with your own hands, drawings of such designs you can find in the article. Such a device allows accurate cutting and reduced vibration.
