The Albrecht is a Jacobs taper #2  his drill press is a Jacobs taper 
# 33  The quill on the drill press  has the Jacobs taper machined 
onto the end of the drill press quill so it is not a separate item 
this is typical of most new drill presses. Many older drill presses 
and typically larger industrial drill presses had a internal Morris 
taper so that an arbor with a Morris taper on one end and a Jacobs 
taper on the other could be placed in the quill and it was easy to 
change out the arbor to a different Jacobs taper. Mark does not have 
that option.  There is no way to mate the Albrecht chuck he presently 
has to his drill press. His options are to machine a new quill or buy 
another Albrecht chuck with a Jacobs taper #33



EXACTLY....Give that man a shot/beer of his choosing!!

Thanks Again....All who contributed...
