Check for an allen bolt. Open chuck all the way and look inside for an allen bolt some drill presse have gone to this method of attaching the chuck. Hope this helps.
Did you have to set the chuck into the spindle, or when you got the press, was the chuck already attached to the spindle? With the drill press I got (different brand), I had to set the chuck in the spindle and I put pressure on the chuck to set it in by placing a bit in the chuck and drilling in a piece of wood, which placed pressure on the chuck. If that's not the issue, check to see that the pulleys are turning ( flip the top open). Also check the tension of the pulleys (machine OFF) If there is nothing apparent or obviuosly not working, and if the press is new, yes, I would return it.
most drill press chucks are installed and locked on by a male / female taper fit. Tap chuck assy. downward with a soft hammer to remove. install new chuck tapping it upward.
Thread Changing chuck on older Delta drill press This site speaks on the subject of changing chucks. It may be helpful. Also if you search;' how to remove a jacobs chuck from a delta drill press' , you should get several hits I hope this info is helpful....
The chuck on 99% of the drill presses is just a press fit. The end of the spindle where the chuck goes on is slightly tapered to hold it on. Make sure the end of the spindle and inside surface of the chuck are very clean. With the motor off, raise the table high enough so you can still get the chuck on the spindle then turn the handle to lower the chuck against the table and press it firmly against the table to wedge the spindle in the chuck. There shouldn't be any need for anything more than this.
