I purchased an old walker turner bench drill earlier this year, it looks similar to this one.
Unfortunately it had a lot of run out, about 3mm!!! Fortunately it was just the chuck. After removing it I am left with a Jacobs Taper 33 machined directly onto the spindle.
Can anyone recommend where I can buy a chuck to fit this taper? I have looked on google but am not sure what is a good chuck or not. I found a Jacobs Chuck but this was £55 which is half the price I paid for the drill.
All suggestions welcomed, good or bad makes / suppliers etc.
Thanks
Steve
