Fixing a drill chuck
| David Cambridge | 01/05/2016 20:10:00 |
| 252 forum posts 68 photos | I’ve just bought a cheap and cheerful ebay Chinese drill chuck. It’s nothing unusual and has a b16 taper, and takes drill bits from 1 to 13 mm. It has the problem that once the three jaws semi clamp the drill bit I can go on turning the chuck key for ever without it clamping any further. Does anyone know of a quick fix before I send it back ? Thanks David

 23121 forum posts 1360 photos | David, The keyed sleeve should be a fairly tight press-fit. ... you should find instructions somewhere on-line, for stripping a Jacobs drill chuck. You could Loctite the parts together; but I would send it back. MichaelG. . Edit: Here is a previous thread on 'our' forum. Edited By Michael Gilligan on 01/05/2016 20:19:56 |

 91 forum posts 7 photos | David, Try this for info on dismantling etc. but really on a new chuck you'd be wiser to demand a working replacement. If you tamper with it and it doesn't cure it they won't take it back. John
