Re: Keeping the Chuck on the mill

The chuck, accoording to the manufacturer we just have to hammer it on the tapered drive shaft, but despite doing this really hard (and using an air-hammer to really drive it up there) it continues to fail. How do other teams deal with this. Why don't they have a screw or something to keep the chuck on?!
Any help would be greatly appreciated! |
PM me off-line. C'mon by and we can take a look at it this weekend and see if we can fix it up for you. Or if that doesn't work, I have a spare chuck on an R-8 arbor that you can have.
