Mini Drill Press (DIY)

thingiverse

I designed a custom PCB drill press featuring a high-powered 24V DC-motor. The motor's massive power output is undeniable, and its potential applications are vast. To control the speed, I connected a potentiometer to an innovative speed governor housed in a compact black box. Users can adjust the speed by turning the potentiometer. The drill press also boasts space for an LED strip, although this feature is optional. Those interested in building their own drill press will find all necessary components listed below.
