My chuck is not coming off and my Sears Craftsman is cleaner than the one in this video. I tried penetrating oil and I'm using a ball joint fork tool. My chuck says 3/8 with a 33 Taper. I looked for a set nut in the chuck but there isn't one. I don't have the key for it so I wanted to change to a keyless chuck but damb it, it's not coming off. HELP!

I miss the annoying background music.

worked on an ancient harbor freight drill press. thanks!

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

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

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 help, thanks👍🏼

Thank you. This was helpful.

Half video is you chit chatting. Go to the fking point

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 ??

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

thanks, just stopped me from having to loosen bolts

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

*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.*

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.

Life saver

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you.

sound awful

I was having trouble, appreciate it!

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

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.

Bad audio.

That is the same press I have, but it isn’t a Sears. Can you give me the specs on the replacement Chuck, or what to look for? dphaggerty@ nycap.rr.com

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

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

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 .

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

Nicely done!

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

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.

Great video. How long did it take to receive your machine after ordering? I ordered my 7days ago and yet to get shipping confirmation

Thank's bro

Whats the belt size

Great information! Good that you included that comment on the ridges. Federate, rpm, step over and cut depth?

Thanks, that's helpful, I'm a first-time drill press buyer and I thought this was how it was done but it's good to have it confirmed. Just a safety suggestion (my dad was hyper about safety), I'd recommend taking out the yellow safety insert on the power switch or unplugging it prior to working with the moving components of a power tool (just a suggestion, thanks for the video).

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

Where did you buy the drill chuck replacement?

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 Bro

What's the model number of your press?

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!!

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....!!

Exelente work 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏🌹

Thanks Bud.Great info Quick and to the point

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