Need more quick and to the point videos like this on youtube. thanks for not giving your life story and series of events that led you to owning a drill press.

Great explanation. Another way to get a stubborn chuck off, assuming it still works, is to clamp a nut tightly in the chuck and then thread a bolt into it to push on the taper from below, like a gear puller

This video is short and to the point. It looks like it will work just fine.

*Bought as a gift for my son and his second grade son to use on a Pinewood Derby car. Wanted something relatively safe and able to be packed away when not in use. Worked well. **MyBest.Tools** Easy to use and set up. Case provides good storage.*

Thanks for the video. I was just using my Craftsman 8 inch. When the chuck came off. Now I know for sure how to put it back on. It was a Christmas gift, from my mother. In 1988.

Quick and to the point. And thanks for the link to the replacement chuck. You rock.

Bought my first drill press and thanks to this vid I was able to fit the chuck part.

works for my clarke bench drill looked everywhere for instructions then found you cheers mate

Thank you, nice, short and to the point. I thought I would have to replace the whole drill press. Turns out I only had to take it off and oil it well from both sides. Now this sock puppet is a happy sock puppet!!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I am about to do the same thing.

worked on an ancient harbor freight drill press. thanks!

Thanks Bud.Great info Quick and to the point

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you.

Very clear tutorial, thankyou.

Thank you very much. I assembled the whole thing but the directions said to gently insert the Chuck. This caused it to fly off when powered on. However after this video I went back and slide the table up some, added my board and then pressed down a little harder and the tapered end locked itself into place. So thank you for instilliny confidence in getting my chuck installed. I was able to finish all my hole drilling this evening and ready for more success tomorrow.

Thanks I have the same drill very helpful, cheers - Mick

This helped me a lot..thanks man!

Nicely done!

I was having trouble, appreciate it!

I have never been able to keep a chuck on my drill press. Thank you for showing me that it's okay to bang on it (with a rubber mallet)!!!

Thanks Man! That worked Great! NIce Video too, short and sweat!

Thanks for this. I have the same problem. 👍🏻

Great help, thanks👍🏼

Thanks, buddy I have exactly the same drill. it was a bit of luck finding you on here. you made it so easy, now I go and change the chuck. btw I subscribed now I can follow you giving us great tips.

Thanks much, just took mine off and ordering a new one. Be well.

I found it , thank you, great video. It made my drill press usable again, by the way it is a nice drill press works well for the do it yourself hobby folks.

Beauty. Looking to replace mine, doesn't look to difficult, thanks 👍

Thanks. I just got a brand new 10 inch press and the chuck fell off when I was tightening a bit up in it. I thought it was missing parts or something. Had no idea its just held on like this

thank you.

FYI: The instructions say to open the chuck all the way, then hold it with one hand and hit it on the side with a mallet. That way you can catch it before it falls. However, the instructions don't say how to reinstall the chuck, so thanks for this video.

Exelente work 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏🌹

Life saver

Hey... I have this exact Craftsman drill press and while using it recently, the chuck literally fell off the spindle onto the table below.... For the life of me, I could not figure out what was holding it on to the spinle shaft... now I know, thanks to you....!! Just toooooo simple for me to figure out I guess... thanks for the video....!!

my chuck just fell off... this was very helpful. I'll just gently seat it back on there with a dead blow :) Thank you!

te felicito por tu video si me puedes ayudar me compre un taladro parecido al tullo de segunda pero me vino con el ruliman que esta alado del mandril roto gracias

Thank's bro

Is another way to do this, is to replace the chuck and then press it against a piece of wood? I am putting together the same 5 speed drill press that you have. I got it from Harbor Freight and the chuck wobbles. I've only used it once.

After 2 years; the new chuck fell off when using a 2 1/2 in hole saw. Back on with rubber mallet and it fell off again. Thinking of using some lock tight ??

Thats what I need to do right now, You did it exactly like the directions said, they want me to clean the rod and chuck was acetone to remove all oil? I guess its so the tapered faces seat with no debris or oil that would cause friction

I just bought this 8" 5 speed drill press and went to put on the chuck got it on went to pull on it a little bit and it came right off not sure if that's a good thing

FYI, the 'rod' for the chuck is called an arbor. Good luck.

What's the model number of your press?

I have the same drill press, would you please list the brand and web site , so as I may order a new chuck as well. Thank you.

So no threads to unscrew or anything like that? Just wood and a mallet?

Where did you buy the drill chuck replacement?

Is that as mine? Value Craft 8050 MFG 19A I need to take it off and wondering how since there's no hole at side to put a wedge Don't know if to bang it out .

How hard should I hit it? I'm scared to destroy the mechanism inside. I thought I hit it plenty hard but when I used it the chuck fell off

great job!! Since you helped me with my drill chick problem allow me to help you! Try not to have the camera face a window or light source as it makes the shot more of a silhouette and makes it harder to see the details of what you are showing. Not a hater or a troll I swear. Just a fair photographer trying to help

Thank you for the quick and informative video! You have a new sub! I am currently trying to get the wobble out my new drill press. If you have the inclination, stop by my channel and show some support too. aNomadsProjects. Cheers.

Bad audio.

I miss the annoying background music.
