Just joined this forum. Neat site!
I had a drill press given to me a good while ago. On the way to bring it to me the chuck came out on the highway and was lost forever.
I assumed that it was junk, but after going to a real nice woodworking store in Fort Worth here while back, I have renewed hope. I did not know that they were just pressed in.
So, I am looking for the best place to find a chuck.
My unit is an old 1982 model Sunex Model SF-12. It has 12 speeds and, according to the plate on the front, a 5/8" chuck.
So, if any of you know where I can find a source for a new chuck, I might be able to revive this old drill press.
Thanks,
Rick Neighbors
PS - I also have a real real old hand crank drill press. I am told that it was for making wagon wheels back in the 1800's. Would like to do some research on it also. :)
