Post Drill $110 Saanich BC

[whydontu]

Glorious old iron. If I lived on Vancouver Island I’d be in the car right now.

Maybe @140mower could trade the owner four 8mm taps for this?

@PaulL you need this!

 

[Dan Dubeau]

Those Damn guys out west again..

 

[PaulL]

Oh yes, I do! Tought I lack posts to tack it to! And I'm not loading on another project just yet...

 

[whydontu]

Down to $85

 

[PaulL]

Ok, I got no Facebook for complicated "I work in tech and I can't stand that ****" reasons. Someone hook me up to the seller?

 

[DavidR8]

I sent him a message

 

[DavidR8]

@PaulL I gave him your number. He will call you tomorrow.

 

[whydontu]

@PaulL , if you decide you don’t want it, I had already asked the seller if they could hold it until I could get to Victoria

I have seen lots of these drills sell at farm auctions for 5 or 10 bucks. I gave one to a young guy setting up a forge outfit, kept the drill bits that fit it though. I hated the one we had, saw lots that had a pulley added so it could be driven with electric motor.

I had a sales demonstration of a similar machine in a county shop I was working in one time...dude drilled a 1/4" hole in a D8 cat final drive bearing race by hand cranking & feeding the bit. There were a dozen very experienced mechanics in that shop that were astounded
The bit was one of our jobber bits ( good quality but just an ordinary bit) and the bearing was a fresh removal from a cat on our floor so he hadnt messed with the heat treatment in any way.

@whydontu - if there is a next time that you see something on the island you could shout out for someone here to pick it up and hold it for you.

 

[whydontu]

@PaulL , if you decide you don’t want this, please let me know and I will continue on my discussion with the seller. Thanks

 

[PaulL]

please let me know and I will continue on my discussion with the seller.

I'll know in about 90 minutes.

 

[140mower]

I'll know in about 90 minutes.

..... well, huh, huh...... You getting a new toy? 90 minutes is only 30 minutes away. Lol
Me thinks somebody wants to try power tapping 8mm holes, old skool.

 

[kevin.decelles]

This makes me want to break out the one in my sea-can that is project #241.

 

[DavidR8]

Did you get it @PaulL ?

 

[PaulL]

Did you get it @PaulL ?

Yep, along with a few 10s lof lbs of scrap steel, some c clamps, and 3 little air regulators. Handy.
The thing is in good shape and will run great at the cabin.

Forum etiquette says I have to say “you suck”. And you have to post pictures.

 

[PaulL]

And you have to post pictures

Which I should manage tomorrow. It's a city shop day
