My old CTT-Tools made in Taiwan drill-press, bought nearly 35 years ago, has stood there and drilled a blue million holes in everything from BRNO Model 98 receivers to ring-binder holes in a stack of paper.
The old guy who told me to "not have anything to do with that Chinese junk" went long ago and the press is still going strong.
Enough background; on with the question :
For the last couple years, the 1/32 to 5/8 capacity, Morse Taper 2, Jacobs Taper 3 KEYED chuck has steadily been getting harder and harder to operate.
Just a while ago, when I removed a 3/8" bit, one of the "prongs" stayed down, while the other two went up.
I managed to work it back into place and drill several more holes.
Where can I get a replacement KEYED chuck ??
I see the keyless ones that are the same size at swap-meets all the time for about $45, but I do not really trust a keyless chuck on something so important as a press.
Thanks.
