Roybeard Passmore Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Do any of y'all have any good ideas for how to make a drill chuck for an old champion drill press? The drill I have only came with one bit and I'm having a hard time finding more bits or a chuck and can't find any good information on building a chuck any where Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Miller Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 All you need is a Jacobs chuck with a straight shank that will fit into the spindle of the post drill. They are usually 1/2" you lock it in with the set screw provided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Welcome aboard, glad to have you. You already got the scoop on adding a chuck to the drill so I'll just leave it at Welcome aboard. Don't be a stranger now and post lots of pics of what you're doing, be it building a shop, tools or forging paper weights, we LOVE pics. We also like helping, giving advice or just making stuff up if we don't know. <grin> Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
