How much wood does a wood chuck chuck?

If a wood chuck could chuck wood!

I would chuck a good size steel pin, unlock and swivel your table over to the side, clean both the taper and the socket with brake cleaner spray or electrical contact cleaner (or even Fondu Alcohol Fuel will work) to leave no oil film at all on the parts. Also run a stone around on all the male part taper surface to check for invisible burr spots and dents left when it was tossed around during manufacturing. Dry every bit of cleaner out by waiting or blowing with a hair dryer. Then tap it in with a piece of wood against the steel pin bottom. Professional shops can make the taper match so it will transmit 5 HP or more without spinning or falling out, but many workers today just don't get the quality training or buy the measuring tools to be able to do that. My Chineese machine didn't even have the draw bar threaded with the matching thread to lock in the chuck in for it's milling head, so you know they are not a detail oriented outfit. Great Guns and all facing the one way!

Hi Kathy,

Welcome to fixya!

You adjust the torque by increasing the setting on the dial behind the chuck. It will feel to you as if you increased the power when you drill.
Don't set it higher than you need it. Just increase the setting until you're happy with the way it's working.

Good luck

Keyless Chucks
Open chuck jaws by turning plastic collar with fingers and insert shank of bit about 3/4" into
chuck. Tighten plastic collar CLOCKWISE while depressing spindle lock button (F) on the right
side of the tool housing (Fig. 4). To release bit, turn plastic collar COUNTERCLOCKWISE while
depressing the spindle lock button (Fig. 4).
NOTE: DO NOT DEPRESS LOCK BUTTON WHILE OPERATING DRILL or while the chuck is
moving.

The chuck is a taper fit. what you need to do is take something like brake clean and thoroughly clean the taper shaft and inside of the chuck, wipe them clean with a paper towel,DO NOT use a shop rag because it has some oil residue in it. move the table out of the way and completely retract the jaws. take a block of wood and while pushing the chuck on the taper strike the wood with a hammer a couple times. this should seat the 2 parts if they are cleaned properly. Let me know if you need more assistance and if I have helped you would you please vote accordingly. Thanks.

Typically the chuck is threaded onto the motor shaft with a reverse thread. Take an allen wrech (aka Hex key) and secure it in the chuck. With a soft mallet or a block of wood hit the allen wrench sharply. this should allow you to unscrew the chuck.

Yes the tapered shaft holds the chuck on. Assuming that there isn't a hole for a set screw you would 1. open the jaws of the chuck all the way, making sure they are completely recessed 2. seat the chuck on the drill press spindle/shaft as far as it will go 3. place a piece of wood (2x4) against the chuck 4. carefully drive the chuck onto the spindle by tapping the block of wood with a hammer until it is fully seated. Don't tap the chuck with a steel hammer directly, use a block of wood. Hope this helps you. Good luck
