| John Rudd:
Advice sought here chaps... :dremel: I have a standard 10mm dril chuck mounted on an MT3 arbour..but the problem is the taper on the chuck and the mating taper on the arbour keeps coming apart.. :doh: I've tried pressing the two together but after use the chuck sometimes fall off the arbour... I guess the two tapers may not be perfect giving rise to this, what should I do to resolve this? |

Hi John, The first thing - which I'm sure you have, is to check for any "marring" on either of the tapers. Some engineers blue could be used to see how well the two tapers fit. :beer: DaveH |

Hey John, Might want to have a look at this one: http://www.machinistblog.com/?s=drill+chuck+installing&submit=Search Hope that solves it. Mikey |

There's no such thing as a 'Standard' taper on a drill chuck - there are several standard tapers. :doh: |

John. Mount your drill chuck's MT3 taper in place of your lathe chuck. You can then adjust the taper fit into the drill chuck body, using a diamond file, or whetstone. I've done it several times, to gain as much mini mill vertical clearance as possible...... It works! :thumbup: David D |
