    Default Auger bit chuck

    Picked up this chuck recently.. 120mm in length x 35mm in diameter..the spigot is 1/2 inch with a flat for a screw to lock onto. My first thought was for use in a drill press at the slowest speed.

    1/2” spigot with a flat was commonly used for mounting chucks on hand-powered post drills so maybe that’s what it’s meant for.

    Boringgeoff is probably the best person to ask, hopefully he’ll see this thread

    Thanks for the ego boost Chief, and you're both correct. The chuck is that patented by J A Leland of Millers Falls USA in 1910, designed to accommodate square tapered and round shank bits. Quite a handy addition to the workshop.
