Well, I never used a 5/8 inch bit or higher and with that large chuck I could not use any small bits. Now I can use the fine bits. One time to try and use a fine bit I wrapped it in tape to try and hold it in the chuck. It worked for the first hole. I could not use anything smaller than 1/8 inch. So I made a contraption that I placed a 1/4 inch chuck in to the 5/8 inch chuck. This worked but not very well. So for me it is a major upgrade. The guy at Grizzly also gave me a tip on changing the chuck. The instructions on the drill press told you to hold a board under and tap it up in place. This guy suggested that I place a piece of wood on the table and pull the lever down to seat the chuck. He said that you can actually get more force because there is not enough room to try and tap it up. It worked fantastic. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Gallik" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 20, 2010 1:34 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] drill press upgrade
Lenny, Am I reading this correctly, you replaced your 5/8" chuck with a ½" chuck? Please explain to this moron how decreasing the size of the chuck 1/8" is an upgrade? I'm obviously missing some little detail here! ;-) -------- Holland's Person, Bill E-Mail: [email protected] - "A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents." - German Aphorist, Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742 - 1799) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lenny McHugh" <[email protected]> To: "handyman-blind" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 20, 2010 12:22 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] drill press upgrade > Well I just finished upgrading my drill press.
