Larry,

Rich - close! Silly - certainly! Wabbit - not a chance.

Despite your sound advise, a morse reamer may not be cheaper than a new
taper. However, I am not above using most any lame excuse to visit the
local machine supply store. I'll let you know the price diffrence when I
return!

Dave

Dave, you rich and silly wabbit. Check first, replace only if
-necessary-.

Rob, Check the taper parts for burrs. If you find some, get a reamer
and use it to ensure that the female (quill) taper is smooth. File the
burrs off the male (chuck) taper, then clean and re-insert per
manufacturer's instructions.
