Drilling holes

When connecting elements with wooden dowels, it is important, to drill the holes on the forehead of the perpendicular part in the center of the side. The accuracy will be provided by a drilling device. We stick it to the element of the element and turn it like this, to press the protruding dowels to the side surfaces of the plate. After such trading of the holes – The middle in the instrument used to drive a drill will always be set exactly in the axis. But the condition is also this, that the hole lay exactly in the middle of the distance between two dowels.

Drilling under the handle

Fastening the handles to the door of the cabinets requires drilling holes. In the most typical handles you need to drill two holes strictly spaced relative to each other, o size depending on the size of the handle itself. Especially in ready -made door, Drilling of holes cannot be accidental. The borehole bound can not be masked incorrectly. That is why it is worth using a regular template with two pilot holes for drilling, made of board, which we want to get into the corner of the door.

Glass drilling with a file

Old broken triangular file, properly sanded, It can be used as a glass drill. The work will be facilitated by a glass coating, formed around the place of drilling, and pouring a turpentine frame inside, which will be a coolant. Such a glass drill is best made from a piece of broken old file. The drill should be around 10-15 cm.

Drilling holes in the shaft

The holes in the cylinder can be drilled using a pile -shaped device with drilled guide holes, which do not allow the drill blade from the cylindrical surface.. The block should be made of steel. Several holes with different diameters are drilled in it. Choose these, which we most often drill in items performed by, for example 5, 6, 8, 10 i 12 mm.

Hole routes

In connections on the dowels of furniture elements. Work should be started with a thorough traction of the position of the holes. We can do it with nails. We stick them in the forehead of a perpendicular element into places, in which the dowels will be mounted later. After driving, we cut their heads and sharpen the ends, e.g.. file. Then we determine the excessive drilling points of the holes in the second, cooperating, parts of the furniture.
