Reido 02-23-2005 11:24:54 204.8.191.228 148401 Report to Moderator	Hi Guys, I acquired this drill press and would like too put it back in operation. It's the Post Style, and can be hand cranked, or Flat belted to a Line shaft. Has anybody ever seen this style Chuck? Or, somehow converted one to a Morse taper? Thanks for any and all help.

Works great ever since.   [Reply]   [No Email]

I believe the coupling with the bolt in its side,the piece above the skinner chuck is the actual chuck.If Im right, Seems to me We took the bolt out and heated the chuck with a torch to get it off. It was a tight press fit.The Shaft was hollow,and the end was cut flat. My machinist drilled and tapped it,and made a shaft adapter for a 1/2" jacobs chuck.It was a shaft threaded on both ends.We drew the new chuck up tight to the bottom of the shaft.That trued it up good. I use mine all the time. It works good. Make sure to oil your machine on a regular basis. Thats how I did mine. My drill Looks like yours but I cant say for sure. The imfo im giving you is from memory. I had this done many years ago. So procede with caution and good luck. Ed   [Reply]   [Send Email]

Looks like the uppper half of the assembly on yours is the chuck. I don't know what the lower part is. I bow to someone who knows more than I. Common modern 1/2" chucks are available with 1/2-20 threads. On my post drill I bought one of these and had a friend cut 1/2"-20 threads on a 1/2" steel bar. Presto, my post drill takes just about any drill bit less than 1/2". Enjoy your drill. Cliff (VA)   [Reply]   [No Email]

Why do you want to change anything? that skinner chuck on it is probably better than anything you can buy today. Will take any size drill. If you can free it up. Looks like it is mounted in the spindel with a set screw. This is the usually for 1/2 inch round with a flat "black smith" drills. If the chuck is removable, sell it on E-bay,   [Reply]   [No Email]

You might be able to use a chuck with a straight shank with a flat on the shank. I don't attempt to use mine, it's just a decoration. Mine has top pieces missing/broken that once did a cam action and a dog that fed the drill down.   [Reply]   [No Email]

I have one with Morse taper shaft. Use it in tailstock to hod drills. They grip very well. Chuck "might" come off if you can figure out how its held on.   [Reply]   [No Email]
