Subject: Drill Chuck Cleanup

I acquired a used Delta 16" Drill press a while back and have just
begun
using it finally. The Chuck has a very slight bit of external rust and

doesn't spin easily - feel sort of 'gummy' to turn and I pretty much
have to
use the key.


How does one go about disassembling and cleaning a chuck ?




I wouldn't disassemble it. I'd give it a good solvent spray or two or
three('til it drips cleanly), then a light oiling. Tom
