New Post Drill Chuck

I gave up on trying to make modern bits work in my post drill and just installed a modern Jacobs chuck. The issue was finding a 1/2″ straight shank for the chuck rather than the typical morse tapers out there now. I guess it wasn’t really an issue seeing as I found it on Amazon and ordered. But I had to wait like 3 days!!!

So I threaded the shank into the chuck and it slid into the existing post drill chuck with a nice piston fit. This is tightened down with a set screw and I was off to the races. No wobble or deviation any longer and I’m happy to welcome a new member to my shop.
