Frankly..unless you like farting around..order a new one. Saves you
time and likely..money.


One thing to consider -- before your (now snipped) attempt to
re-turn the taper -- you should have checked what the taper *really*
was. Note that there are both the more common Jacobs tapers (JT?), and
some for German tapers (B?? series), which are not necessarily
interchangeable with Jacobs tapers. There may even be other tapers for
chucks.

Just to be sure -- get the chuck and the arbor at the same time,
so you are sure that both are Jabobs tapers.

Enjoy,
DoN.
