I've got an older Craftsman RAS which I bought a Jacobs 1/2" chuck with 5/8"
thread for mounting. I don't think I'd attempt routing with it either but
it does work well for drilling holes in long pieces. Might not be worth the
expense for limited use. YMMV

I have an old Craftsman 10" Radial Arm saw. I want to get a drill chuck
that will screw onto the threaded shaft that the saw blades are attached
to. I guess it is 5/8" diameter. I only want to attach router bits. Does
anyone know what chuck I should be looking for? I'm just an occasional
woodworker, so I don't need a high end chuck.
Excuse any incorrect nomenclature. I call everything "whatchamacallits"
