We shoulda got that done right in the beginning. Sure would have saved
some back and forth.

Nice size scan, by the way, clear enough to read and still fast to get
on cruddy dialup.

I wonder if that really is a section of a morse taper that they used on
the spindle. Doesn't much matter, as it seems unlikely that there are
any chucks available to fit it as is.

As I said before, the amount of runout you say is present is an awful
lot less than I would expect to find on a small drill press, and I doubt
I would have been doing anything about it without some compelling
reason, like a munged up chuck.

Got a lathe and a toolpost grinder? Know anyone that has a tool and
cutter grinder or cylindrical grinder?

To the makers credit, they built a nut in to remove the chuck with. Too
bad they could not see fit to use a standard size chuck mount.

LOL! Norm still trolling? I told him a couple of weeks ago
that he has a drill with a Din standard chuck mount, which
incidentally uses a shortened version of the Morse Taper.
