Key for small Cushman drill chuck
 

I got a Dumore "precision" drill press at the dump, but it's missing the
key for the Cushman chuck. I found a Jacob's chuck with matching
specs & I can get a chuck for it that should fit my Cushman. But, just
to be sure, I'd like to check that the tooth pitch matches.

Does any one have a Model 0 Jacob's chuck that they can look at for me?
I need the number of teeth on the sleeve. The Model 0 is the smallest
Jacob's makes: 0-5/32 (4 mm) capacity. The sleeve is .85" diam.

Thanks,
Bob

Hey Bob,

Got one on a "sensitive drill press" gadget.

Both Chuck and Key here are Jacobs No. 0 and chuck is also stamped as
having 0 Taper (for mounting I assume)

Chuck has 23 teeth, Jacobs KEY 0 has 11 teeth. Gives a ratio of 2:1
turns of the key to one turn of the sleeve.

Key guide pin diameter is .153 long and .1235 diameter (I will get out
the pin gauges and check the chuck holes if you want, but I assume
they are 1/8")

Key main shaft with cross-lever is .35 diameter by approx. .83 from
top the top of the teeth, and 1.21 overall top to tip.

Major diameter of Key "barrel" just above teeth is approx. .440
Not real sure how to measure easily, but across one tooth and one land
at the minor diameter I get approx. .334

If this isn't enough, grime a shout and I'll dig deeper, but I note
that KBC Tools

http://www.kbctools.com/can/main.cfm

has

SKU # 1-508-03505 JACOBS K0 CHUCK KEYS $4.75

That may be a Canadian site and price, but if you are in the USA, try
typing www.kbctools.com and get the correct US site.

Take care.

23 teeth

Thanks. Mine is 24 (I counted twice) - close enough, I hope. Let's
see: .85 x PI / 24 = .111; .../23 = .116; delta = .005. It's worth a
shot - the chuck is useless without a key.

No need to check, thanks anyhow. The Jacob's spec is .125.

Not completely useless, just tighten by hand, stick the back end of an
appropriate sized drill in one of the chuck's holes. Then place the
business end of a screwdriver against that, and use it to lever the the
chuck teeth around. G DAMHIKT

My problem quickly becomes, 'Which shop'.

Is it in the 30' *40' garage?

Or is it in the 18' *28' shop?

Maybe in the 12' * 24' cottage?

Or the 12' * 12' shop?

It could be in the 12' * 12' laundry building.

Or somewhere in the toolboxes in the house.

Maybe it's in my truck. Or did I loan it to someone?

Fer sure. If Brian had come up with a different number I'd have no

Four-Way Chuck Key

Don't worry about lost chuck keys€”this one replaces them all!
Use one key for 1/4'', 3/8'', and 1/2'' chucks
Fits all major brands - over 125 different kinds
Also use the key's center for acetylene tanks
Perfect for on the job when you use more than one drill

I suspect your local hardware carries something similar and may
provide instant gratification.

There are more than four types. I have one of those and about a dozen
chucks it doesn't fit. Lowes carries a nice selection of chuck keys. A
local store let me carry in an old drill to find the right key. If the
drill is too big you can always remove it, first.
