For those who own a drill press, building an insert press is not necessarily useful.

So I designed this simple adapter that allows you to attach your soldering iron to a drill press to turn it into an heat insert press.

It can be installed and removed in seconds.

Additional material

  • M3 x 5,7 (less not tested) heat inserts (x2)

  • M3 x 12 (or 10) screws (x2)

  • (optional) knob for M3 head screws (x2)

I have not redesigned the knob for M3 head screws used to tighten the soldering iron. You will easily find many effective and attractive models (for example here or here).

Printing tips

  • Recommended material : PETG

  • Profile : 0,2 mm Structural

  • Perimeters : 4 or 5 in order to resist the two inserts to be positioned and to provide some resistance to tightening in the mandrel.
