Variable TIR on Super Chuck
I recently bought a Super Chuck model 14N for a floor drill press. This
chuck has a capacity of 0" to 1/2 ". I have been checking the TIR using jobber length drill bits in the 1/8" to 1/4" diameter range. I noticed the TIR seems to depend on how hard I tighten a drill bit in the chuck. For example, if I tighten it just using my hands without the key, the TIR is under 0.001, but if I fully tighten it using the chuck key the TIR climbs up to 0.004 or so. If use a #1 drill+countersink bit instead of a jobber drill bit, the TIR change is even more dramatic with a shift from under 0.001" to about 0.008". These measurements are all at the top end of the bit, just under the chuck jaws. Is this normal behavior for these chucks, or perhaps I got a lemon? |
