I received my chain breaker today. I drilled out the small threaded section to allow a cotter to pass through. I don't have a drill press, but an ordinary drill sufficed.
Just for fun, I removed a cotter from my Rudge and put it back in. Yes, this press made child's play out of the job. You're right. I should have gotten this much sooner.
