Pedestal drill chuck.

[voo2doo]

Here's one for you fellas.I have just tried to no avail to change the chuck from a crap one to a Jacobs key less chuck on my pedestal drill but haven't got a clue how to get the fooker off!
Normally you open the chuck up and there is an allen bolt on the inside,undo that and its off!
I haven't got that bolt. Any ideas??

Depending on what kind of press you have ,some have an allen bolt, And others are pressed on a tapered shaft. hit the top of the chuck and it should pop off.

I have had a look on the inside and there seemed to be an allen bolt but it wasnt? It was just a 2-3mm hole?????

Run the chuck to its lowest point. Is there a slot above the chuck? You may have to put a prybar in there and unstick the taper.

yeah, extend it fully down ans there will be a slot. Put a drift in there and tap it with a hammer. chuck should just drop out.

This though probably means that you can't fit a standard quick chuck in there as you have a taperfit shaft.

(a drift is a tapered but of plate. if you don't have one, prety much anything will do like a pry bar or far screwdriver)
