Drill press for Makita BHP452

thingiverse

This is a drill press for a Makita BHP452 so that I can drill through things at 90º. Nothing worse than drilling a hole with tight tolerances and missing. :D. Other drills may fit, but you'll need to test it. This build uses a plywood base (so you can adapt whatever base you need - clamps, angled bases, etc), and 2 lengths of 20x20mm extruded aluminium. They just press fit into the base and top cap. The loop on the front of the model is for an elastic strap to hold the drill onto the frame. You could also run an elastic strap or spring between the top plate and the drill holder frame to return the base to its lowest position. I've also included a Rhino file with the drill "frame" as a separate component so that you can adapt it to your drill's dimensions. Printing now. Photos soon.
