SOURCE: how to remove chuck from drill press

I just looked at a breakdown for this tool and it is not that clear. But to get an owners manual you can go to Searspartsdirect.com and type in your model number and look at the same schematici I did and also order a manual for about 7.50. Usually though on a drill press like that it would be a morse taper. Do you see a slot cut thru the spindle on both sides, if so there should be a tapered key that came with the unit. In that case what you would need to do it put the key in the slot and tap it with a hammer to remove the adaptor and chuck. Let me know if I can help further

Yes it does have a Morse taper and you can remove it by gently hitting it with a rubber or nylon mallet.

SOURCE: Mastercraft seized up chuck

being that new, it should not have seized up, all you can do is try spraying wd40 into the chuck between the teeth and mandrill. if it doesnt work, replace the chuck, it is fairly inexpensive

You can get a universal chuck key at Home Depot, Lowes and many other tool outlets. They have 4 different keys in one.

What is the size of the replacement chuck key for the Duracraft DP514?

The 1/2 inch is the max size drill that will fit into the chuck. There are only a few different key sizes, and sears sells them in their tool area. Easiest thing to do is find the size of the hole the chuck fits into by using the back end of a drill bit that fits the best. Measure that drill bit or take it with you to the store. You might find two different size keys with that size pilot hole, or maybe only one. Good luck!

I purchased a secondhand Pentium Metalworker BT1000 drill press, but it came without a chuck key. I haven't been able to find one to fit, as the standard 1/4 inch shank is slightly too large. I think...

if there is any manufacturers name on the chuck like "JACOBS or ROHM" you would also need the chuck size 13mm or something like that, you should be able to go to a BOX store that sells tools and find the correct one. ROHM has a completely different key than other brands. Usually on the key on the back of the packaging it will give you what it fits. I would also suggest taking a drill bit and trying one till it fits snug in the hole and then look for a key with that pilot size. Good luck

Need a chuck key for model 1140b,f powermatic drill press,manual part number 6285469.

There are only a few sizes of chuck key. Easiest thing to do is first find a drill bit that fits in the hole where the key goes to determine the size of the pin on the end of the key. (Use the back end of the drill bit.) Then take any other chuck key you have and see how closely it fits or doesn't fit - just as a reference. Take the reference chuck key and the drill bit with you to Sears or any place that sells a good assortment of tools. You will probably be able to determine the correct size key from what they have available very easily. Good luck, Al K

Where can I buy a new chuck for my 15-091 dp?

You cn find MANY chucks on eBay. You need to verify the size and the mounting which is LIKELY a Morse taper. ONLY buy new ones. There are some for as low as $8.

Prefered brand is "Jacob's".

Can't remove the chuck on my mastercraft drill press.

generally they are a taper fit, is there a slot cut into the spindle?? If so you should have a wedge when you bought it to slide into the slot and tap with a hammer to release the taper shank. Let me know if it is something other than that. on some of the Jacobs chucks they also made special wedges that you put in from either side to remove it again tapping one wedge at a time to put equal pressure on them.
