The arbor can be removed to install another drill chuck
in the spindle. A drift key is included to help remove the
arbor from the spindle. Usually, once the chuck and arbor
have been properly mounted together, they are consid-
ered semi-permanent connections. (If you would like to
install a different chuck, we recommend getting a new
arbor for that chuck.)
To remove the drill chuck and arbor, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT THE DRILL PRESS FROM POWER!
2. Rotate the downfeed handles until the drift-key slot
is exposed in the side of the quill. For now, keep
the downfeed handles in this position.
3. Move the table up until it is 1 ⁄
4
" below the bottom
of the chuck, and place a towel or cloth under the
chuck.
4. Rotate the spindle until the inner drift-key slot is
aligned with the outer slot, as shown in Figure 24.
You will see through the spindle when the slot is
properly aligned.
5. Insert the drift key into the drift-key slot.
6. Tap the drift key with a rubber or wooden mallet,
as shown in Figure 25, until the chuck releases and
catch the chuck with your hand.
7. Remove the drift key and carefully retract the quill
into the headstock.
