Yard sale Gloat

Scored a Champion No. 101 post drill at a yard sale yesterday, $65 and
in really pristine condition. Not sure if the gray paint is original,
but it's mostly there. No significant wear on any of the gears,
virtually no rust. Wanted one of these things for a long long time. Now
I just need a post to mount it on...

BTW, seems to me that this would offer pretty much the same capabilities
of the Cole drill with respect to slow speed drilling through tough
materials, just not portable.

That's the kind of tool that just looks classy sitting there doing nothing,
and never having to drill a hole. What did you pay?

Yeah, I have to agree with that! Paid $65. I've seen them cheaper, but
beat to hell with missing or broken parts. Have also seen them a lot more
expensive, and in not very good condition. This one is in by far, the best
condition I've seen anywhere.

Jon

You got a deal.

It looks almost unused. An old friend of mine had one that he had
powered with an electric motor. He made some attachments for the
flywheel that captured a v-belt so it ran on the OD of the flywheel.
The ratio between the flywheel OD and a small pulley on the motor
worked out well.

I'd take that puppy, clean it up, and never use it. But that's just me.

Jon, as the owner of a smallish 40 lb blacksmith leg vise, I highly
recommend getting one, especially if you need a vise to hold something
that you pound on.

Given I have two mills and a drill press, it's not likely to see very
much use. I think it'll do what a Cole drill press will do with respect
to very low speed drilling with positive feed, just not portable. So

I had one years ago but sold it, as it was really very worn, even for an
antique blacksmith vise. Both I saw at the sale are larger and in much
better condition, though not nearly as 'new' as the drill press.
