Hello,

I'm wondering if there is a / how to make a Drill head adapter for this.

Find a drill head shove it on a bar and shove it into the router?


The reason I'm asking is because all my drill bits are different sizes


Thanks,

DL

I haven't seen anything. Many use the router and bit to "spot" holes and then drill with hand drill or drill press. The router motor turns too fast to drill most materials with a drill bit.

Ahh I see. Well if anyone sees anything or is doing anything let me know

ramasule,

How about making a detachable mount for your CNC table. You can then make an additional mount/holder for an electric hand held drill and swap them as necessary for your routing and drilling operations.

Just a thought,

Im already in the process of doing something like that. The problem is I am building a offset of limit switches to detect drill bit home. This is so the drill bit is always referenced as machine to eliminate the mounting offsets.

Was just looking for a quick thing to slap into the router. I think ill go get a drill head chuck or a couple differnt sizes. Get the right steel shafts and turn the other end to fit in the router. That should work.

How about taking an old hand drill, or one from a yard sale or flea market, and strip the chuck and drive shaft from it. Of course, you'll have to cut the shaft down to a manageable length for your router. The shaft diameter may also need to be turned down to fit a standard size router collet. I had taken apart an old Sears Craftsman drill circa the '60's or '70's and if I remember correctly it used an imperial sized 1/2" shaft (and bearings!) that should fit in a 1/2" router collet nicely.

That should enable you to quickly burn up a bunch of drill bits. (flame2)
