In addition to the advice you have gotten from others, I might also
add that a drill chuck is not designed to handle side loads. If you
were to try to do any routing using a drill chuck, you would probably
find the router bit quickly walking out of the chuck. Even at "low"
speeds, that can get real exciting.

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"
