Hi


Just got a drill press and I have cleaned and "rebuilt" it. JT3 chuck.
Should I oil or Loctite (removable) the arbour to the chuck?
Noticed some slippage when I was trying it out.

Don't oil it. Clean it real good with carburetor cleaner or acetone.
Open the jaws of the chuck fully so they're retracted inside the body.
Put the chuck on the arbor, then, using a chunk of lead or a soft-faced
hammer, give it a solid whack or two to seat it solidly. It should stay.
