DRILL PRESS MOUNTING
To mount the drill chuck into the drill press:
1.
Remove the small plastic cap on top of the belt guard and slide the draw bar out of the spindle through
the top.
2.
Insert the arbor half way into the drill press spindle, then quickly slide it in place.
3.
Replace the draw bar and thread it into the arbor.
Do not
over tighten! The draw bar only needs to be
lightly tightened. Tightening any further will make it difficult to remove the arbor!
LATHE MOUNTING
Prior to mounting the drill chuck into the tailstock wipe the inside of the tailstock barrel and arbor down
with a clean cloth and inspect them for nicks or scratches. Any irregularities on the surface of the arbor or
inside the tailstock barrel will hinder the locking capability of the taper and should be dressed smooth
with a fine file.
To mount the drill chuck into the tailstock of the lathe, slide the arbor into the tailstock barrel about one
half of the way. With a quick motion, finish sliding the chuck the rest of the way. This should seat it well
into the tailstock barrel.
Because the drill chuck arbor is threaded on the small end, removal requires the use of a mallet and a
wooden dowel as in
Figures 13.
Tap along the back edge of the drill chuck on the left and then the right.
The drill chuck and arbor will pop loose from the tailstock barrel.
Drill chuck arbors with a standard tang (or flat) on the small end allow the operator to simply turn the
tailstock handwheel counterclockwise until the drill chuck and arbor pop loose. Chester UK offers a
variety of chucks and arbors. Please see our current catalogue for more information.
