I didn't think this was possible but my Beall collet chuck is frozen solid as a rock, as in the screw cap that holds in the collet won't move. I must have gotten some metal fragments or something in the threading and it is locked up tight. I squirted in some WD40 and have been banging on the wrenches for half an hour to loosen it with no progress. At this point the only thing I can think of is to take a torch to it to see if a little thermal expansion might help. Any ideas?
