在沒有鑽機的情況下鑽出直孔的最佳方法
Without further ado, let’s get started with the most common methods of getting straight holes drilled.
Method #1: Handmade Drill Guide
You can go into a hardware store and buy a portable drill guide, but why would you when you can make one yourself? You can use wood or metal to create your own. This is an easy way to create a perfect angle.
用兩塊木頭或金屬夾在一起並將它們夾在一起。使用90度角確保材料是正方形。將碎片粘在一起，讓它們靜止。
For safekeeping, drill a hole in one side and tie a string to it.
Method #2: Drill Bit Guide
鑽頭指南是一個很好的選項，因為它會在過程中對鑽頭造成損壞。您需要做的就是在您要鑽取的位置放置鑽頭指南。用你的主導手和鑽頭指南牢牢地握住鑽孔。

方法＃3：鑽塊
The drill block is likely the most helpful because it offers holes of different shapes and sizes. This allows different sized drill bits and different drilling angles to be used. You can drill large or small holes and you can drill straight holes at different angles than just straight up and down.

Method #4: Get Creative
Need an extra quick option for drilling a straight hole without a drill press? You can use some items that may already be in your home, your car, or your shop. CDs and Legos are two popular household items that can be of service to you.
如果您有CD可用，請將標簽一側放下並將其置於您需要鑽孔的位置。將鑽頭放在盤孔的中心。調查CD，定位鑽頭，使其處於直線狀態。
開始鑽井，將CD保持在位，並保持關注反射。
Alternatively, you can make a guide out of Lego blocks.
Snap some pieces together to create an L shape. Make sure to check the L against a square object, like a protractor or a wall, to verify the 90-degree angle. Place the Lego creation down where you need to drill. Hold in place until drilling is finished.
Mistakes to Avoid, Tips & Tricks
It is important to always mark the spot you want to be drilling with a pencil, pen, or marker. This will help you know exactly where you are supposed to be drilling and where to place the guide you are using.
此外，鑽孔前穩定在木材或金屬上用夾子。確保夾緊牢固，您不希望在鑽井時移動和弄亂直線。夾緊還為您提供額外的保護，鑽頭不太可能滑倒和傷害你。
Always start at a slow speed. You don’t want to drill at full speed right away, it can be dangerous and possibly split the wood. Make sure you increase your speed at a slow, steady rate. It will help you keep your drilling line straight.
同樣，不要強迫鑽取您正在使用的材料。這樣做可能會造成傷害，不僅是您的材料，而且造成鑽孔。試圖迫使鑽頭不會移動，可能會拆分材料或打破鑽頭。
If you are cutting into harder materials, consider lubricating your drill bits. That will help it penetrate the surface of steel or brick or similar much better. Use cutting fluid or a multipurpose oil to minimize friction as you drill.
Also, cool the drill when it gets hot and starts to smell funny. When you take the drill out of the hole, run it at full speed for a few seconds to get air into the drill, cooling down the motor. This is an extra important tip if you are drilling into brick or another kind of thick, dense material.
Finally, when your hole is finished, make sure it is smooth by getting rid of any sharp pieces that may have been left behind. You can do this by using your drill on low power and running it around the outside edges. There are also tools called deburring tools that you can buy or rent to get your holes clean.
概括
Using a drill press may be the easiest way to drill a straight hole, but it is not always the most logical way. There are other tools that are readily available, and even some DIY projects to create your own tool.
The most efficient tools to drill a straight hole are a portable drill guide, a drill bit guide, and a drill block. All of these tools can be bought at a hardware store, but can also be created yourself if you are on a time crunch.
Some household items, such as CDs or even Legos, are also an option if you don’t have the time to make or buy one of the other tools listed. These items will help you maintain a straight hole in a simple way, you just need to hold them in place and drill.
As long as you take precautions, follow your guidelines, and keep your tool safe, you can drill a straight hole without a drill press! If you want, on the other hand, to drill at a certain angle,檢查本指南.
