Hi Guys,
I acquired this drill press and would like too put it back in operation. It's the Post Style, and can be hand cranked, or Flat belted to a Line shaft. Has anybody ever seen this style Chuck? Or, somehow converted one to a Morse taper?
Thanks for any and all help.
Reido

Don't know the make of yours, but the two I have unscrewed from the shaft and I screwed on a Jacobs chuck from Harbor Freight ($5 2 years ago). Works great ever since.

Hi Reido This looks like the drill that I have. I believe the coupling with the bolt in its side,the piece above the skinner chuck is the actual chuck.If Im right, Seems to me We took the bolt out and heated the chuck with a torch to get it off. It was a tight press fit.The Shaft was hollow,and the end was cut flat. My machinist drilled and tapped it,and made a shaft adapter for a 1/2" jacobs chuck.It was a shaft threaded on both ends.We drew the new chuck up tight to the bottom of the shaft.That trued it up good. I use mine all the time. It works good. Make sure to oil your machine on a regular basis. Thats how I did mine. My drill Looks like yours but I cant say for sure. The imfo im giving you is from memory. I had this done many years ago. So procede with caution and good luck. Ed

My post drill has a collar that fits 1/2" round bits with a flat. Looks like the uppper half of the assembly on yours is the chuck. I don't know what the lower part is. I bow to someone who knows more than I.

Common modern 1/2" chucks are available with 1/2-20 threads. On my post drill I bought one of these and had a friend cut 1/2"-20 threads on a 1/2" steel bar. Presto, my post drill takes just about any drill bit less than 1/2".

Enjoy your drill.

I'm going to post again... Why do you want to change anything? that skinner chuck on it is probably better than anything you can buy today. Will take any size drill. If you can free it up. Looks like it is mounted in the spindel with a set screw. This is the usually for 1/2 inch round with a flat "black smith" drills. If the chuck is removable, sell it on E-bay,

I have one similar I got at an auction for a buck or two, same kind of drill holding set up- need a set screw to hold the bit. You might be able to use a chuck with a straight shank with a flat on the shank. I don't attempt to use mine, it's just a decoration. Mine has top pieces missing/broken that once did a cam action and a dog that fed the drill down.

skinner chuck in reply to Reido, 02-23-2005 11:24:54

Thats called a skinner chuck. Not sure of spelling. I have one with Morse taper shaft. Use it in tailstock to hod drills. They grip very well. Chuck "might" come off if you can figure out how its held on.

I don't see a chuck there, looks like something stuck in place of a chuck, larger drils had 1/2" shank chuch for 1/2" diameter flat sidded bits that fastened in with a set screw, smaller had 3/8" but on bits of smaller diameter the shank that fastened into the drill was always the 3'8 or 1/2" diametor
