The best solution to drill bits slipping in a chuck is to replace
the chuck, which is easy on a press with a taper. Most kinds of

will ruin the collets.


If your chuck is in rough shape..Im sure Ive got a few extra Jacobs
chucks on MT2 stubs if you are interested in one. Might make you a
good deal on one G

Aye, thanks Gunner, I appreciate that. The chuck on there now was a bit
rusty, but after a little squirt it's looking a lot better. It's a generic
chuck, but it doesn't show much wear that I can tell, similar to the whole
machine.

My guess is that this thing sat in a barn for most of its lift getting
knocked around, and being used as a table. Otherwise, most of the pieces
seem to show little wear (the table has nothing more than a few very light
surface scratches).

That drill press has had at least..least 8 different labels on it that
Im aware of.

I had two of them years ago, each identical but for the label on the
front of it. Sold one, gave one away to a friend when I upgraded to
bigger drill presses.

They are a decent drill press and if you take care of them, will last
you a very long long time.

Ever need that chuck and MT2 taper, simply let me know.

The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
