I want to replace the chuck on a King-Seeley (Craftsman) drill press
and am not sure how to go about it. This is the best set of pictures I
can find on the unit -

Above the chuck is a knurled collar w/ 2 recesses 180-degrees apart.
The chuck is a Jacobson 1/2" w/ J33 mount. Does anyone have experience
with this drill press or have a likely idea on how chuck removal would
be accomplished?

I will appreciate any guidance on this.

Why to removeing the chuck? Take large hex key and tighten into chuck.
Use this to hold chuck fimbly. Turn knurlded collard by hand same
direction as drilling as it screws down it will push on back of chuchj
and force it off. #33 is taper of spinlder which is forcefit to chuckj
only and not threaded on. Some old chuckers have threadedd collard
part of chuck but King Sealy not like .
Hilde and I have a King Sealy mattresses and sllep happy for years. It
is good to been alive and coundting blessings.
Happy News Year to you from coldier New englands!
