If I bougth this procunier #2 tool off of ebay what is the best place
to buy the 5/16th collette from?

Also I remember when I assembled my drill press I fit the chuck on,
but what's the best way to remove it now? Just use a crow bar?

That one is a little pricey for one without any collets. $75 is more
reasonable.

Ebay collets go out at 8-15 bucks each. Retail on the collets from the usual
suspects (msc, mcmaster carr, etc) is 25 or 26 bucks.

If you don't have a morse taper on your drill press, the procuniers also
come with a 1/2 in straight shank that you just mount in the chuck. I
changed mine to a morse taper because it was too long with the extra length
of the chuck.
