[AT] Northern Tool Sale - Left Hand drills now ramble

[charlie hill]

H.L.  I don't can't think of anything I'd need that 100 hp motor for ...... 
this week anyway.  grins.

I live about 4 miles from town.  My next door neighbor (actually he just 
moved last week) has/had a machine shop next door.  One of the reasons he 
wanted to move was because he couldn't get 3 phase power and was having to 
use a phase convertor.

It just seems like (at least around here) that you can't get 3 phase unless 
you are in an industrial area.

 A couple of things that have been discussed in this thread.

My Experience with small reversible hand drill motors is that they have a
retaining screw in the center of the chuck to prevent the chuck from
spinning off when the drill is run left handed direction.

And yes Charlie Hill seems that I now live to close to town or at least to a
little crowding. But we do have three phase power at three different
locations here on the farm.

As a matter of fact I have a Three phase 100 horse power explosion proof
motor that is for sale that is set up with a soft start and to operate on
480 volts.

It would run one hellava drill press.

The chuck on my little Craftsman drill press has a rated capacity of 0" to
1/2"  and I have used it to drill several hundred holes with a 25 hundredths
of an inch bit.  Sheet aluminum and never broke a drill bit. Most half inch
chucks will not close sufficiently to chuck such small drill bits.

Hope each of you have a safe holiday celebration and a prosporous, healthy
and happy
New Year.
