Great video clips. They have been an inspiration for me to finish my 7th year in progress 3800 turbo build. I have a 1980 gen2 Camaro that I am building.
That chuck is probably an M1 Taper. You can seat it with a 2x4 setting on the drill table. Bring the spindle down and then put some pressure on it. There is probably a wedged shaped piece of metal used to remove the chuck to change it. Also, I love hot glue for odd shaped stuff needing to be held.
throw a peace of rubber in the bottom of the hole in the knob that way you can conpress it on \ hold it from moveing. love the vids got the same white camaro v6 1998 i steal some ideas for mine
If you're interested in video suggestions, how about making a hitch receiver mounted, portable vise that you can use in the shop then out in "the field " on the rear of your truck. Do it, i double dogg dare you. Thats two puppies. Now you can't not fo.
Wanting to that for from '94 Cherokee Sport 5 spd. One question regarding the threads. Over time I wonder if that ball material will deteriorate after 1000's of shifts and the ball threads wear? So I'm thinking a threaded brass or some metal insert into the ball glued in with 3m 5200. That insert will never come out and the metal threads should last forever. Your thought?....5 minutes later: Checked Amazon and their billiard ball shifters have a metal insert. duh. There goes my million dollar idea. lol
I get that its 3yrs later but I thought I would help with more info about how the hell that drill chuck stays on. The commenter who mentioned the M1 is referring to a Morse Taper and I think its technically called a #1MT. Most drill chucks for that application are slightly different and are called Jacobs Tapers. Anyway, I'm aware nobody cares but im a machine nerd. You are natural at making entertaining videos. Make more. Most important thing you will read in my rant as if you like working with your hands and also enjoy having 2 hands 2 thumbs and 11 fingers or whatever .. math.... who needs it...? So, yah, invest in a nice bench vise. You will never know how many bandages you're not using after you acquire a vise. You can just trust a machinist of 23 years that you will save enough in medical bills to buy a vice for every new project. That would be ridiculous tho... buy weed.
