[TheForge] Drill press woes

[Bob Ehrenberger]

Ron,

You can probably get a Moris taper reamer and clean up the taper in the 
spindle.

The quick easy fix would be to epoxi the chuck into the spindle.  If you 
ever need to get it out a little heat will get the epoxi to release.  My son 
has been able to take handles off knives in boiling water, so it doesn't 
need to be that hot.

Speaking of drill presses, my Delta drill press is a floor model and 
practically new- bought it used in 1955. The chuck fell out of the spindle 
yesterday and it appears the Morse taper on the spindle is worn. I have 
never encountered this; does anyone know a cure for this malady?


I got a drill press vice many years ago that was too tight.  I took it apart 
sanded the mateing surfaces and that took care of the problem. Of course a 
vice is much easier to take apart than a tail stock.
