Guys,
I acquired an old Stanley hand drill today, FOC :) - its in good condition but I really wanted it for the small pin chuck.
The shaft on the drill has a 7/16" x 26tpi thread on which the chuck screws. I can get an appropriate button die of eBay but my question relates to the MT2 blanks that are available on eBay.
I suspect this is a newbie type of question, but if I don't ask I won't know / learn:D
A search from recent threads found these 5 by Chronos...

The ad says that they have a 1" DIA x 1" long soft end and a 3/8 BSW thread for a draw bar.
How would you suggest I use one of these blanks? I need 1.25" long rather than the 1.0" on the blank. The DIA also needs to be turned down to 7/16" (11.11mm) but there is a 3/8" (9.5mm) thread in the end which would leave very little to tap my thread into.
Should I buy another blank without the 3/8 thread in the end or something else?
My first thought was part off the soft end and drill the centre of the MT2 for 0.5" and press in a new end that I could turn to size.
Any thoughts or advice?
Thx
