I thought I enclosed a letter when I shipped the drill press but evidently not. I have sent you a copy of it this morning. I recently bought another drill press which brought my total up to eight and decided seven is my limit. So I had to get rid of one of them, and thought you would like to have it as I know you appreciate the quality of Cameron products. Never mind the fact that the one I replaced it with weighs 1050 lbs. The point is I know my limit and can hold myself to seven drill presses. Glad you got it up and going.
Mr. Pete, Nice video on the Albrecht chuck removal. I was reminded of a purchase I made a couple of years ago. Among other things I build and make acoustic guitars pretty much the “old world” way. I got involved repairing a vintage Martin and was needing to drill some extremely fine holes to aid in removing the neck from the body for a reset. My problem was none of my drills had a chuck that would close on the tiny drill I was using. I came across a #O Jacobs Chuck in a Garret Wade Catalogue. The price was rather cheap for a GW item, I think around 15 bucks. I ordered it and to my surprise it came in a very nice wooden box and included two arbors, the key, half a dozen number drills along with the tiny chuck itself. I just went out to the shop through the dark and cold to look at it. I knew it wasn’t an Albrecht and probably was made in that place we used to say we would end up if we dug deep enough. Sure enough it was but still a pretty decent made little chuck. One of the arbors is a short straight shank the other is tapered. No idea which taper. All in all a pretty neat little device for precision work. I remember GW saying in their catalog promotion they had come by the little chucks via a tool that didn’t meet their standards but were so impressed with the chuck they decided to offer them as a stand alone product. Now Garret Wade products come and go so I don’t know if they still offer them. I couldn’t find them on their website but a call or email to them would reveal if they still have them. I know you probably don’t need one but maybe some of your viewers might be interested. I plan to make a precision drill press using the chuck sometime in the future if I live long enough. Dale
Oh how wonderful what a little baby x 2 we love these drill presses Made in the USA still. Albrecht chucks (not cheap bought em New Old Stock or would not have as many) are what we keep in stock because we do a lot of micro holes. I remember this "What Is It" teacher I think it is from the aerospace industry was my guess (to my self) then. Nice chuck removal liking the wedges. We love the Dumore, they to are in business and we use their motors still. We realize how happy you have got to be with those garage estate sale finds mr.pete. Oh she sounds so smooth, really nice.
Mr. Pete you had me going (your eye sight). hahaha. Thank you for all of the TH-cam videos you have done over these years. I now own a Clausing, South Bend and Logan lathe. I know you are a bit partial to the Atlas so hopefully you will forgive me for not owning one... grin. If it makes any difference, I did restore one for a local rancher (I live in Central Montana where my nearest neighbor is 2 miles away). I also own a South Bend milling machine and I have bought and used your collection of videos for lathes and mill and I use them often. Thank you for giving me a little more depth to my humble life.
Also, I am a knife maker so I have lots of cut-off pieces of steel (D2 is my largest donator but 01 might be easier to use for you and your watchers). I make new wedges often and heat treat them. Now my collection of wedges is really good and I enjoy making them. Fun.
I shared your worries about removing the partial Albrecht chuck without bending the shaft. I think (since the chuck was basically junk) I may have heated it a bit to expand it and help with removal. Glad it was not stuck though. Great video!
Very nice, I am happy for you. Thank you for educating me on this. However you have given me a new focal point for my obsessive compulsive disorder, Albrecht chucks. Thanks
G'day Tubalcain. I loved the double vision humour. I also enjoy watching the start and finish of your videos to see which tool or machine I should buy and how often!
Rhom makes quality keyless chicks. I had one until a low quality drill twisted off and damaged it beyond repair. Even the import ones are not so bad I have a couple of them and use them a lot. I really like a keyless chuck on a lathe because of changing from center drills to drills. Like the little drill press
Mr. Pete, Going to all your doctors has an advantage, you can edit the videos in the waiting rooms, but the downside is that you'll be spending more time reviewing their bills. You can fix or build anything and proved it, let's hope they can do half the same.
That is a neat little drill press. Or perhaps I should say those are neat little drill presses. And yes, I did see two of them. But then I also saw that tiny little alien running around in the background. Oops...did I say that out loud? Thanks.
Excellent video Mr Pete. I can't wait to see you make the wedges. I also want to make a set. Just recently I bought an old lathe that I am resurecting and it came with 8 drill chucks and one of them is the Jacobs Keyless and one is the Little Jacobs 0 taper you used. If I had to pay new price for the 8 chucks alone they are all worth more than I paid for the lathe. Thanks again for sharing. Hope you get your vision corrected.. LOL
@@mrpete222 6 of them were already mounted on either MT-2 or MT-3. I thought the Jacobs Keyless mounted on the MT-2 was a pretty good find. It fits right into the tail stock of my old Clausing 100 lathe. And it looks to be used very little.
I used to drive by the Jacobs West Hartford facility occasionally some years back after they moved down south. It was a handsome looking facility considering it was a factory. It wasn't very long ago they knocked it down and put in place of it a strip mall and supermarket. They had their own access road - Jacobs road.
That story made me very sad. The strip mall probably has the following stores. Tattoo shop, payday loan store, cigarette store, Nail salon, and a Starbucks. Sickening. Oh and I forgot the most important store, a cell phone shop.
skip two yard sales and buy one. I hope you see the humor here. keep going I like them and wish I could go to one where I live. if you scrap it you will find the other half at a sale
When I saw the price of the little German chuck, I had to go and see what mine is.. I bought it years ago from ebay for a song complete with a straight shank arbor.. I keep it for tiny drills that I use now and then.. Upon inspection, sure enough it is a 0 -1/8.. Wow guess I better keep it!
If made of tool steel, i doubt, that you need to harden them for frequently use. For the larger ones, you can add a bit of Moly frease to them, that should be enough. Not that harden them is so much trouble, but you need to temper them also. The drill press is nice. A lot of people only have the large machines, and they are way to slow for those small drills. And you have a lack of feel using the large machines with tiny drill bits.
The wedges are just what I need. Thanks Mr. Pete! I just bought an atlas lathe off craighslist and the chuck is stuck to the tailstock ram. I tried hammering it out as I have seen you do in other vids, but I think these wedges will work (with a little heat if needed).
Another great video Mr Pete 👍🙂 We all use chucks in our drill presses, tail-stocks and other machines all the time, how about a video dedicated to the humble chuck? Without which we'd all be lost! Can't believe the price of those Albrecht chucks!
When removing the partial chuck from the drill press I thought you might be able to use one of the #1 removal wedges as a counter-wedge to the home-made #0 wedge you were using, but it looks like that might instead pull the spindle out of the drill press (it looks sort of like a Morse taper).

"...the sweet smell of ozone!" lol Friction Force - The SI unit of friction is Newton (N). The coefficient of friction is unitless.
