Replacement Drill Chuck
I'm quickly coming to the realization that there are no keyless drill chuck replacements for the SS. As a matter of fact, I don't think there are any replacement chucks available other than from SS. I'm looking for one that's more precise than what I have currently (which has way too much runout to be usable for any type of precision drilling).
Any luck finding aftermarket chucks?
Thanks!

I have an Albrecht chuck that was custom fitted with a 5/8" arbor to fit the shopsmith. If you're not familiar with Albrecht, google them. I never tested the arbor for runout, but I've used bits not much larger than a pin and had no problems.DC Ross wrote:I'm quickly coming to the realization that there are no keyless drill chuck replacements for the SS.

i bought a dedicated drill press and haven't used this since. let me know if you're interested and i'm sure we could work something out.

i have a Craftsman drill chuck that fits the shopsmith. it is no better or worse than other chucks. it has not been modified. it is mounted on a #2 MT with a 5/8" straight shaft just like the tailstock adapter that shopsmith sells. i have no idea how old it is or where it came from originally.(well i'm pretty sure it came from Sears)

The Albrecht chuck is probably one of the best you can buy. Not cheap, but worth every penny.

Keyless Drill Chuck
I have a model 6426 keyless drill chuck made in Japan. Unable to read any additional information. I used it for a while but went back to my keyed chucks. I have a few that someone took a 5/8" ID extension with threads and screwed it into a keyless drill chuck. The 6426 was very good on runout compared to the home made keyless chucks. I use the Jacob chuck from the 10ER listed in a previous post for my drilling.DC Ross wrote:I'm quickly coming to the realization that there are no keyless drill chuck replacements for the SS.
