ChiefLittleBair Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Hello everyone. So about a week and a half ago I acquired this post drill. All seized up and covered in dust like it had sat in a barn untouched for 75 years. With some penetrating oil, a little heat from a small torch, and a wooden mallet I was able to completely disassemble it. I sand blasted it and gave it a nice gloss coat of hunter green and black. I can't for the life of me figure out any info (history) on the brand though, except that for a while, H. CHANNON may have been partial owners of McMaster Carr. I also didn't notice until today when I was painting the lettering black that it says CHIGAGO instead of CHICAGO. Does anyone here know anything about this brand? I made a set of drill bits at work by drilling out some half inch stock and red loctiting drill bits into their new half inch shanks so I can use the original chuck. Drilling holes with these post drills is really satisfying. Thanks for looking and any help. God bless, Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
