Screwdriver holder
The project
A holder for screwdrivers was made from a sheet of aluminium.
Tools / material used
- Press brake W1.0 x 610A
- Sheet metal
- Marker
- Sheet metal shears or other tool to cut the sheet metal
- Square
- Ruler
- Drill
- Drilling machine / cordless screwdriver or similar
- File
- centre punch
- Caliper gauge
Step 1
Transfer the pattern
Firstly, the pattern was drawn onto the sheet using a square, ruler and marker.
Step 2
Drill the holes
A hole diameter of 10 mm was chosen to match the screwdrivers that would later be used in the holder. After drilling the holes, the corners of the sheet metal were rounded to a radius of 12.5 mm using tin snips.
To remove the sharp edges, these were deburred with a file in the next step.
Step 3
Bevelling
When bending, it is important to pay attention to the sequence and direction. For example, the sheet metal had to be turned round for bending lines 2 and 4.
Step 4
Painting the sheet metal
Finally, the bracket was sanded and painted.
