Made by Peck, Stow, & Wilcox Co.     (PEXTO) with a Samson chuck...about the largest chuck with 2 jaws...:OldManSmiley:

 

And out of a set of 4 Expansive Bits...this is the only one that can go out to 3" diameter...:ChinScratch:

 

Had a high spot in the top of the bench.:PullingHair:.decided THAT would a spot for a test drive...so..:TwoThumbsUp:

Had to crank that chuck almost as far opened as it could go, just to get the bit IN the chuck....this is one BIT bit..:DevilLaughing:

 

Idea was to test out the snail ( sucks, too beat up, almost had to stand on it for it to bite:ArguingSmileys:..) enough that it would leave a "Ring" showing how big a hole it could make..

Just wanted it to score a line..:OldManSmiley:

3" exactly!   As the hole this will drill  is to fit the backside of this..:JawDrop:

To where I can just push this in place, and NOT have it fall back out.:BangingHead:

Board for this hole?:ChinScratch:

Currently IN the clamps, until tomorrow...has a few other things to happen first,,,before the hole gets drilled...:Tapping:

 

Pays to have different ways of getting things done?
