Breast drill parts

[t4runner]

I picked this breast drill up at a sale its a Millers Falls #12 but it is missing the thumb screw that hold the hand crank in place. Anyone know of someone that sells parts for these.

No, but this is what mine looks like:

Best bet is to get someone with a lathe to spin one up for you. Wouldn't take half an hour!

I'd do it for you, but I'm the other side of the pond!

Well worth doing though. Breast drills are seriously underrated tools, and Millers falls were probably the best!

I was leaning that way, I have several of these hand drills but not this model and of course the thumb screw on the others don't fit this one. So Ill have to draw up some spec's to get it made.
