#Cordless drill vs corded full#

I wired the 230V AC supply through the MCB for mains protection and to provide isolation if needed.įrom the 24V output, I wired the + though the fuse. I cut and mounted some DIN rail inside and mounted the 6A MCB, power supply, and the fuse holder. I started by fitting 2 cable glands on the side of the box.

The resultant current requirement is 86.4W/22V = 3.92A If you plan on running continuously then you need to better match the power supply to the drill. I did not test the drill running continuously, this is used as a screw gun and is used in short bursts, there is no hammer action so I do not use with masonry. I had a spare 24V 10A power supply, using the adjustment I could dial this down to 22V, not really caring about the drill that much and knowing that they are usually fairly tolerant I tried it and there was no excessive heat or burning of the motor.

PLEASE ONLY FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS IF YOU ARE COMPETITENT TO DO SO. New Power Rating Measurement Method: 1 Drilling into the rig. THIS INSTRUCTABLE DEALS WITH MAINS AC POWER, THERE IS A RISK OF SHOCK RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH. I use a mains voltage to DC converter and adapt the failed battery housing to supply the drill from the mains and I can still swap to the battery and go cordless when needed. I have seen some tutorials on fully converting to corded but I still have one good battery and I also have a good corded drill so I came up with this. The drill cost about 70 euro and I do like using it as its well balanced, however, I could not track down a replacement and a local tool center quoted 110 euro to rebuild so it would be cheaper to buy a new drill. The drill came with 2 batteries and I have obviously favored one as it now only holds a charge for about 10 mins.
