Drill Chuck ????

[Jerry Adams]

I want to start drilling blanks on my Jen mini. Where is the best place to buy a drill chuck to fit the tail stock. I must not be looking for the right thing because I can't find one. Any help will be great.

Thanks
Jerry

Little Machine Shop has some good deals on such things. I got this one http://www.littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=1212 along with a 1 Morse Taper to 33 Jacobs Taper to mount it on my Ridgid lathe. For the Jet Mini you would need a 2 Morse Taper to 33 Jacobs to use that chuck - http://www.littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=1804. I'm very happy with mine - seems to be a very nice chuck, especially for the price!

As Eddie mentioned they are usually called Jacobs chucks not drill chucks. A search of that should get you better results.

Hi Jerry,
You can purchase them from Craft Supplies USA as well. We've got a standard 1/2" #2MT Drill Chuck as well as a Keyless Version. Good luck!
