Ive picked up this drill / mill jig press, its not the best but its a start
Ive also pick up this old, hardly used electric drill, as its old its got decent bearing in so I hope it can take a bit of sideways force
what I want to do is mount the drill, after a strip-down onto the drill press
There's a couple of problems Ive run into and need some suggestions as to what to do, the drill press is designed to take a 42mm drill unit
the collar on the drill is 50mm but does unscrew, its left handed thread
What I would like to do it get a new collar machined up that longer and stepped down from 50 to 42mm I dont think thats going to be an option due to the left handed thread, next thought was to machine large piece with 50mm bore, 3 or 4 thread bolt holes to hold it to the 50 mm collar, stepped down to 42mm to fit into the drill press, if I done that I then need a chuck extension
Do chuck extensions exist, shall I make one, can I get a tapered fitting for this so I can use the chuck from my emco 8,, all suggestions please
Thanks
