This Millers Falls #2 has become my go to tool for pilot holes, etc. The design dates back to the late 19th century.
The drill does not have a spindle lock and I need one sometimes. I had this "bright" idea that a 1" or so screw into this tapped hole would serve as a spindle lock and also be storable in the handle cavity.
After a couple of screws didn't fit, I measured and the thread is 11-27 which isn't in common use like it once was a century or so ago. Maybe my brother can make one on his metal lathe.
