[TheForge] Drill Press

[Steve Smith]

My first read on your response was "he's asking how to figure out the 
Albrecht end of the taper". Rereading I'm not sure you're asking, but 
since I already looked it up, here it is.

Use the MSC catalog as a reference. Here are some Albrecht chucks (if 
yours isn't there, there is another page of them):
http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNPDFF?PMPAGE=1598&PARTPG=NNLMK32
Look halfway down the page for "Classic Keyless Drill Chucks". The table 
gives the Albrecht numbers that you should be able to find on your 
chuck. Now you can look across on the table for the chuck mounting shank 
type. This MSC page and the following one have arbors with the chuck 
taper on one side and (for instance) MT2 on the other.
