December 26, 201213 yr 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
December 26, 201213 yr 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.

December 27, 201213 yr 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.
