Gunslinger Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Picked up a Silver No.1 post drill that I'd like to clean up and hang on the wall of the shop. Works well and is mostly complete except for the auto feed arm/pawl. I know finding the part would be a miracle so I'd like to forge one as close to original as possible, problem is I can't find photos with enough detail to do this. Anyone here have this drill? I could use a few detailed photos and measurements of said arm and pawl. Here's a pic of my drill in its current state: Here is the part I need: I could figure out the length but do not know if there is an offset above and below the bolt or what the backside looks like. I know it's a longshot but any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 After a bit more evaluation, it seems simpler than I originally thought. There is a cam on the gear, and an adjustable follower on the lower arm. Would still like the info but I'm going to mock something up and see what I can do.

matto Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I think I have a little bigger silver I will check and if I do I will get pics and make a pattern for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
