Is there anyone who still makes the bits for the old post drills? They have the same size shank no matter what size the drill is.Also they are flattened off on one side of the shank for the set screw. I know they make or made adapters for twist bits, but everyone I have is bent and I would rather keep the length shorter and closer to the chuck bearing.The smaller size bits are what I need the most. Any help would be great, Thanks guys.

Hi Bob,If you are trying to restore something I can size the shank and put a flat on a step drill or whatever. If you are fixing it to use and don't care if it looks original, Then fix a chuck on it because drills do not work well with side lock holding devices.
If you need help let me know. I tool up machine shops.

Hello Mike, ...just read your post. I do tree work
for a living, and sometimes this includes drilling thru the trunk to install an all thread rod with a 13/16" or 7/8" ship auger bit, 18" in length, with an 18" bit extension also attached. My problem is, I have twice broken the screw that holds the chuck onto the drill, when trying to reverse the bit back out of the hole, both times using 2 different brand new Dewalt 1/2" drills model no.3MJO1. Do I need to buy a more powerful drill ? I'm now looking at a Dewalt model no. 4KV39. ALL responses are welcome, and "THANKS" to all in advance. chainsaw

Metal fatigue..It's like bending a nail over and over and finaly it breaks. The thing about mass produced items sich as power drills is that the are made for average normal use. Extreme use such as a spade drill being held by hand and getting a wobble plus a large diameter.( It take about twice as much force to drive a 7/8 drill as it would a 1/2 doing the same feed and speed.) Try finding a screw supplier that can supply metric screws in a higher grade and you could fix the problem. The longer the drill shank, the worst the problem will be.

I've never found anyone who makes those. Get a drill chuck arbor machined to fit the post drill. Buy new chuck and bits.
