drill press chuck not drilling straight

[Glenn McCullough]

I have a riobi( i know its cheap)bench top drill press that is no longer drilling straight. I have checked the bits and they are straight in my lathe chuck. It seems like there is no play , and I can only tell on holes 10mm or larger. Any way to straighten this out? I am researching new presses and can take advice on new ones as well.

Not enough info. Are bits wandering? Holes curved? Spindle loose? Table need squaring? Wassup? New drill press: Grizzly floor model.

Glenn,
I replaced my chuck on a Delta 8" Bench top. It was a JT-33 and I bought the Grizzly replacement chuck for $10. Like a new machine!

So, I bought a second chuck and a JT-33 to MT2 mandrel and I now have lathe powered drilling...

On the side of the chuck will be stamped the taper... Usually JT-33 for Bench Tops....

Hope this helps...
