To date, the construction of private houses is a rather laborious and very costly affair. The arrangement of one of the most important parts - the foundation - takes a lot of time, effort and money. It should be as high quality and durable, otherwise the building will not last long. Recently, pile foundations are becoming increasingly popular, as it is possible to make a TISE drill with your own hands, which greatly simplifies the excavation of pits.
Why a drill is needed
The biggest problem with building a pile foundation for private developers is the cost. The drill helps to solve this problem. Its main advantage, which sets it apart from other tools, is the ability to drill even problematic types of soil. Soils, which differ in the presence of the most complex structure for drilling, can be processed using a modified manual device. The best option for private builders is to assemble a TISE drill with their own hands, as this will save even more material resources.
Structural elements
In order to carry out the assembly, it is necessary to understand what the equipment consists of. The structural elements include:
- Rod with two connecting parts. The main part of the part will make it possible to carry out drilling work at a shallow depth. An additional rod is used to increase the depth of drilling. The length of the additional rod is 110 cm as a standard. In purchased models, the parts are interconnected with special clamps. You can also attach a mechanism for rotating the TISE drill with your own hands to any of the parts.
- Naturally, you need a handle that will allow you to rotate the drill.
- Since it is necessary to remove the soil, all models are equipped with drives. The diameter is usually 250 mm. It provides not only a fence, but also loosening the soil. The configuration of this item is a cylinder. It is important to note that any deviations from the vertical that may be caused by obstacles in the soil will be leveled using the design features of the equipment.
- The last element is an additional hinged type device that serves to make it possible to expand the shaft when using the TISE drill with your own hands. The possible diameter of the expanded recess is 50-60 cm.
Types of receiver
Another thing to be familiar with is the two types of soil receivers.
If the work is carried out with heavy soils, then the part is different in that it has four elements with a conical shape that are evenly spaced. The appointment of canines in this case is a fence of loose soil, which has rocky inclusions, with a diameter of up to 50 mm.
If the soil is characterized by a light or loose structure, then the design should have sawtooth fangs. The distance between the edges of such canines will be significantly limited, which will significantly reduce the possibility of soil spilling during the fence. In addition, such fangs can effectively get rid of small stones.
Tools and materials
Making a TISE drill with your own hands with drawings or having a finished sample is an excellent option to save on a purchase. In order to successfully assemble such equipment, you must have at hand the following tools and materials:
- It is necessary to pick up a metal pipe with a diameter of approximately 250-300 mm. This parameter can vary depending on what diameter should be at the well itself.
- The next part is the working body of a circular saw.
- Grip pipe required.
- Fixing parts will be required to secure the rod parts.
- You can not do without such additional elements as hinges, plates and metal rods.
- Of the tools you will definitely need electric arc welding.
After all the elements are in stock, making a TISE drill with your own hands will not be difficult. After assembly, it will only be necessary to treat the finished product with protective agents to prevent the rapid onset of corrosion.
Assembly assembly
After everything has been prepared and the drawing has been carefully studied or a ready-made sample is in front of your eyes, you can start assembling. How to make a TISE drill with your own hands according to the drawing?
- First, it is important to determine the required rod length. If the depth of the pit should be more than 1.5 meters, then you will have to prepare another section of the pipe, which will be securely attached to the first.
- Next, prepare the cutting edges for the device. To do this, it is necessary to cut in half the working body of the circular saw, which was prepared.
- The parts obtained after cutting are welded to the end of the working metal rod. It is important that they are at an angle of 15-20 degrees.
- The next step is to weld a piece of pipe of a selected diameter above the cutting edges. This will require the use of electric arc welding. Thus, it will be possible to obtain a receiver for collecting soil from the recess.
- Details such as fangs that will help loosen the soil must be installed. Their number should be from 2 to 4, depending on the complexity of the soil with which you need to work. If the soil is a problem, then the number of these elements can be increased. It is important that they all be fixed as rigidly and vertically as possible.
- All welding seams and places of fastening parts to each other must be treated with abrasive material.
- The final touch in the manufacture of do-it-yourself drill TISE with your own hands is the coating of the entire device with a composition that protects against corrosion.
Pros of using a drill
This device has several indisputable advantages.
- The design of the device is as simple as possible.
- In order to use such equipment, you do not need to undergo special training.
- 100% environmental friendliness when using the drill.
- Making a TISE drill with your own hands will allow you to process even the most complex types of soil without any problems.
- You can use this unit even in the winter season.
- The device is quite versatile, as it allows you to form a recess for various purposes.
Some features
There are several features, knowing which you can facilitate the work or improve a home-made drill. For example, if you intend to use the device on difficult soils, then sharply sharpening the edges of its fangs is not recommended. Another tip concerns the case if there are many rocky inclusions up to 5 mm in size in the soil. In this case, the distance between the edges is best minimized so that such small stones do not constantly clog into the cloves.
Based on all of the above, we can conclude that assembling a TISE drill with your own hands, firstly, is quite simple, and secondly, it will be an indispensable assistant in arranging a pile foundation for housing.
It is also worth noting that reviews about the use of this type of drill are positive. It turned out to be very convenient in terms of operation. Its parameters help to cope with the most difficult types of soil. But, of course, the main reason is the saving of a significant amount of money, which cannot but please any users of this equipment.
