Designing and fabricating a portable drill press machine / Nurul Afiqah Abu Bakri

This project is about designing and fabricating a portable drill press machine. The existing drill press machines are very big, heavy, expensive, and not portable. Many people cannot afford a drilling machine that has table support. People need to use the drill press machine so that the workpiece is more stable to handle. It is very hard to control our hands in order to drill in a straight line. The portable drill press machine is suitable for drilling a small workpiece. It is portable just like the hand drilling machine. The portable drill press machine is small, and lightweight compared to the existing drill press machine. The drill can travel in the y-axis upward and downward direction by adjusting it manually. The portable drill press machine is made by using a DC motor and the drill chuck. The motor is used to drive the spindle. This machine can be very useful and affordable to those who want to do a small project and have a budget drill press machine. In this project, cutting, drilling, and welding is needed to fabricate the portable drill press machine.
