Adjustable bracket plus feet for Mini Drill Press for PCB Drill by ftobler by aasonitis

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I have originally made this slight change to Mini Drill Press for PCB Drill
by ftobler, because to fit my drill which was of 35mm diameter. But I have included the FreeCAD design of the bracket that I recreated using booleans and thus can be parameterized by changing the original shape sizes and recreating the solids that correspond to each subtraction-addition then move on to the next subtraction-addition. That way I believe one can create any bracket diameter they need. Also any other dimension can be changed in the FreeCAD files because the whole design comes down to primitive objects. All objects and transitions are included and named to be easily identified and changed.
As a footnote I forgot to drill holes in the bracket opening but I realized that simply by making the diameter 1mm less then that of the drill and given that the bracket has room for movement due to its opening, the bolt is not really needed to hold the bracket in place.
I also added four feet to my wooden base because I decided to drill through the base and put nuts on both sides of the base to hold the body more rigidly. This created the need to elevate the base to make room for the nuts and be flush. The flanges I created as feet are simply nailed on the base because they have a 1mm hole in their center.
