With this home-made device, you can quickly and without much effort grate various vegetables, as well as root vegetables - ginger, radish, Jerusalem artichoke, etc. To make a drum grater, you will need a regular tin can and trimmed wooden bars.
As an electric drive, you can use a household power drill or a cordless screwdriver. The first step is to make a drum and a grater. To make a drum, a round wooden block is suitable, and a grater can be made from an empty tin can.
The main stages of work
First, we cut the bottom off her with scissors for metal, and then “unfold” and with the help of a nail with a hammer we make small holes on the surface. Then we wind the grater onto the drum and fix it on self-tapping screws or screws. In the center of the roller, you need to drill a longitudinal hole for the shaft.
The drum grater shaft can be made from a round wooden stick or a steel rod, suitable in diameter. Next, from the scraps of bars or planks, we assemble a simple structure on which the shaft will be mounted. A working camera is installed on top. Insert the drum shaft into the chuck of an electric drill or screwdriver.
The tool must be fixed to the stand using ordinary metal clamps or plastic ties. Additionally, you can make a simple mechanism for quickly adjusting the speed of rotation of the drum. You can see the detailed process of assembling the drum grater in the video on the site.
