Just because it is old doesn't mean it isn't useful, nicely done, sir.

[@ChopWithChris]

Exactly!

Ha ha your face and smile says it all .its a great feeling when us guys find the buried treasure. Our age goes out the door we all are like excited kids again every thing else is irrelevant.nice find Chris. my wife ( who I love to bits ) would just raise her eyes. And say what are you going to do with that rusty old bit of metal lol but we know don't we guys

[@ChopWithChris]

You nailed it! I can’t for the next one!

Always a real treat when one of your videos comes out

[@ChopWithChris]

Thank you very much!

[@kellytulu748]

Wow what a steal 130 $ in all for this beautiful tool loved the video. Can’t wait for future project with this tool. Also I agree the color is very nice

[@ChopWithChris]

A steal for sure!

Great find and repair Chris, hope you find out above the indexer. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.

[@ChopWithChris]

You are most welcome!

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome stuff Chris! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@ChopWithChris]

Thanks 👍

[@emilyrobinson6080]

Wow, this is handy for me. I picked up what could be this drill’s sister in Virginia earlier today, and its ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE. Mines also missing the flywheel but the guy i got it from had several old machines i may go back next week and see if i can salvage a wheel off of. Mine still has the original fixed/loose pulleys on the drive shaft and also seems like there was an extra area in the casting where a hand lever went to pul down the spindle manually like a modern drill press vs waiting for the auto feed to slowly drill through. Mines missing the nut that goes on the other end of the drive shaft where the handle for hand cranking goes through. Mines not got a model number on it but was made by the Buffalo Forge co, idk if later they acquired the patent rights or if its a “subtly tweaked” model issued as a competitor but im really glad to see theres another one out there

[@ChopWithChris]

Wow! Congrats!!

[@hassanal-mosawi6049]

well done!

[@ChopWithChris]

Thank you.

[@davidnadell3367]

I think that I have one of those in the barn ? Missing the flywheel but it does have most of the indexer on it . Was damaged and repaired before I got it .

[@ChopWithChris]

Can you please email me pictures of the indexer? [e-mail]. Thanks!!

[@AndresLicari]

You should check out the Facebook group Post drill madness, you will find some information on that indexer for sure. Great video and god bless you

[@ChopWithChris]

Wow! Thanks for the suggestion!

Cool

[@wim0104]

you found a flywheel that had the right diameter and bore!?

[@ChopWithChris]

I did. Not joking. I collect flywheels whenever I see them so a have several.

[@richlagger507]

Could you do a treadle to drive the belt side of the drill? I love the video.

[@ChopWithChris]

I could but the hand driven part works well

[@richlagger507]

@@ChopWithChris I was thinking about it so it frees up one of your hands for handling the work. Anyway, thanks for the great video.

[@ramboturkey1926]

you'd be surprised how often i work with belt driven machines like that

[@ChopWithChris]

Be safe!

[@user-vl5oz8ry7b]

Good

[@ChopWithChris]

Nice

[@tonywoolf]

Your drill bit is a little off center, but you know that, I am sure. 👍🏼

[@ChopWithChris]

It was bent when I got it and tried my best to fix.

Men, I will be scared if I opened your luggage, 😅😅😅

Umm...I’ve had some interesting discussions with security at the airport...
