wolfshieldrx Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 After looking for a couple of years, I finally found a Buffalo #50 post drill in good condition. I want to repaint it in as near the original colors as possible. Anybody know what that was? As many of you know, the #50 is (I think) the smallest post-drill Buffalo made. I already have a larger drill mounted to a post in my shop. My idea is to rig a mount for the #50 that can be c-clamped to a bench and moved as necessary. Of course this would only be used for lighter work than the post-mounted drill. Anybody ever try something like this? Ideas? Guess that was 2 questions...thanks a bunch in advance. I'll post pictures of my progress(?) as the project proceeds. bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfshieldrx Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Cant find it on the web and no takers here, so I guess it will be basic Model-T black, maybe with some red trim. Or maybe Blue and Gold (go Mountaineers!!!)...hmmm?! thanks anyway...bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy k Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Bart - Search the "members" for PhilsDrills - he has posted many pictures of assorted drills and items he's restored. Also - you've only had this post up for 2 days - some check this site at unregular times and may be a few days from seeing this post. Give it some time - someone will reply with the info your searching for. - JK Here's a link for his Gallery : http://www.iforgeiron.com/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=user_activity&search_app=gallery&mid=2636&search_app=gallery After checking - it appears that some of the photos he has posted in the past have not made it through the last upgrade - try contacting him through IFI and he may be able to give you some insight that your looking for.
