Installing the Chuck
The Chuck and Chuck Spindle both have a self-centering MT-2 taper.
1.
Wipe a small amount of grease onto the spindle to prevent corrosion.
2.
Place the chuck onto the spindle, pressing it upward with a twisting motion. Tap the chuck gently home,
using a soft-faced mallet.
3.
If desired, fine tune the chuck using a dial indicator. To do this, mount a dial indicator firmly on the table.
Place the dial indicator pointer in contact with the chuck, and adjust the dial to zero. Slowly rotate the
chuck and read any out of center on the indicator. Carefully tap the chuck with a mallet upward and to
the side as needed to center the chuck. Continue this process until you are satisfied with the adjustment.
To insert and remove drill or milling bits, use the chuck key provided.
1.
Insert the Chuck Key into one of the holes in the Chuck, so that it meshes with the cogs on the Chuck.

Turn the Chuck Key clockwise to tighten the jaws around the drill bit shaft. Ensure that the drill bit is
