I like keyed chucks, having tried Albrecht, Rohm, and import keyless.
None of them held a drill without slipping, maybe my hands aren't strong
enough. And be sure to tighten the key in all 3 holes.

I suggest a Jacobs ball-bearing chuck. If that's too much do-re-mi, then
get a plain bearing chuck. Ideal would be a 14N, new.

Good vendors abound. I suggest:

Hi,

I'm looking for a good value on an MT 2 drill chuck for my drill press.
What brands hold up well? Suppliers?

Thanks,
