The arbor can be removed to install other Morse Taper
tooling in the spindle. A drift key is included to help
remove the arbor or other tooling from the spindle.
Usually, once the chuck and arbor have been properly
mounted together, they are considered semi-permanent
connections. (If you would like to install a different chuck,
we recommend getting a new arbor for that chuck.)
To.remove.the.drill.chuck.and.arbor,.do.these.steps:
1.
UNPLUG THE DRILL PRESS!
2.
Rotate the spindle handles until the drift key slot is
exposed in the side of the quill.
3.
Tighten the lower jam nut against the depth stop
bracket. The quill should not return up into the head
casting when the depth stop is adjusted this way.
4.
Rotate the spindle until the inner drift key slot is
aligned with the outer slot, as shown in
Figure.29
.
You will see through the spindle when the slot is
properly aligned.
5.
Insert the drift key into the drift key slot.
6.
Hold a downfeed handle with one hand, and slightly
loosen the lower jam nut with the other hand. This
will allow the quill to rise, trapping the drift key.
7.
Hold the drill chuck with one hand, and tap on the
drift key with a rubber or wooden mallet, as shown
in
Figure.30
, until the arbor releases from the
spindle taper.
8.
Hold a downfeed handle with one hand, and loosen
the lower jam nut with the other hand.
9.
Carefully retract the quill into the head stock.
