23 teeth



Thanks. Mine is 24 (I counted twice) - close enough, I hope. Let's
see: .85 x PI / 24 = .111; .../23 = .116; delta = .005. It's worth a
shot - the chuck is useless without a key.

Not completely useless, just tighten by hand, stick the back end of an
appropriate sized drill in one of the chuck's holes. Then place the
business end of a screwdriver against that, and use it to lever the the
chuck teeth around. G DAMHIKT
