The chuck can be replaced with an Albrecht 0-1/8" (0-3mm) with a
J0 taper, and mine actually came with such a chuck. This is a perfect
chuck for the machine.


I got a better look at it today. It has a Jacobs 0 chuck installed,
but the key is missing.

O.K. Those can be purchased -- but better to get the Albrecht
keyless chuck from Gunner. "Keyless" means that you don't need to worry
about losing a key to the chuck -- ever. And it is a very precise
chuck.

He says that he has several. And mine turns out to be a "Jacobs
1 taper", not a "Jacobs 0 taper". Might be model on the chuck, not the
taper size.

Looks like the "Jacobs 0M" chuck uses a #0 JT taper. And the
"Jacobs 1M" chuck uses as #1 JT taper, so go for an Albrecht which
matches the #0 Jacobs taper.

Mine has a switch on the bottom rear of the motor which has
three positions -- off, a full speed, and a slower speed (resistor in
series). IIRC, the original switch was center off, but it eventually
burned up, and I replaced it with one which I could set up as
off-slow-fast.


Mine is just on/off, but adding a speed control is no big deal.

And actually kinder to the motor. It *does* get hot running for
long on the slow speed from the switch. I don't use my slow speed
setting now that I have the variable controller for the older
single-speed Dremel.

Can you put up an image of the other precision drill somewhere?
Perhaps in the dropbox if you don't have a web site of your own? That
is at http://www.metalworking.com. Click on the bar to give directions
on using the dropbox, then once you have the image(s) there, post the
URL for the dropbox and the name of the image files.


I finally managed to get some photos. As usual, less than half are
on the memory card.


http://www.flickr.com/photos/organize/ has what I was able to retrieve
from the camera.

That URL wants me to log in or create an account -- with no clue
where your images are. Please try again.

Enjoy,
DoN.
