Re: Show us your drills!
Just wondering, has anyone ever used or owned a CP (Consolidated Pneumatic) Electric drill ? Years ago, I repaired & re-leaded a big old single phase one. It was owned by a farmer & was filthy, having lived in an old open-ended shed for years. My, what a superbly built drill. Better than a Wolf of a similar size, I reckon. By an amazing coincidence, my eldest lad, whilst training as a diver at Fort William a few years back, was taught to use one of their air powered drills. Even more of a coincidence - their main UK plant was based at Fraserburgh - a dozen miles away from here. They were once one of the biggest employers in the north of Scotland, with a workforce of thousands. Had their own power station & company housing street.
