Hard to see in the video, but the chuck is probably fit with a Morse taper (see the wiki for machine tapers). There will be somewhere you can drive a metal wedge in to dislodge it. I've never seen a chuck I couldn't find a key for though. You'll be able to find a one for it online for sure. If it's a Rohm, Jacob's or Metabo chuck, check their resellers. If it's another brand, it's likely a copy/rebadge of one of the first two, so... check their resellers.
That strikes me as an unusual make of drill press - it might be worth consulting with some of these TH-cam machine shop buffs like This Old Tony about the appropriate way to remove a stubborn chuck; you don't want to apply a hub puller for example only to discover it has a left hand thread or something similar. I agree that a hefty Morse taper is the most likely mounting option. Best of luck!
7:10, here you go @Ninety2: th-cam.com/video/rJ3jyEbcse4/w-d-xo.html. I bought an old drill press from eBay, and its chuck was in such a bad state that even a brand new key wouldn't work. I ended up back on eBay, where I bought a keyless chuck. Morse tapers are numbered 1, 2, 3 etc. according to their size, so if you buy a new chuck, you must make sure that its MT matches the one in your machine. That said, it's also possible to get MT adapter sleeves to allow small chucks to fit larger machines. On another note, have you checked that your drill press table is at 90 degrees to the quill? When you fit a new chuck, put a length of 6mm silver steel rod in it, and check that the table sits at 90 degrees to this with an engineer's square.
You guys rock!!! I don't know why I never just googled or youtubed this info but these replies pushed me towards understanding. Now I need to make a little tapered piece of metal to press out my old bad chuck and then order a new one. Thank you!
Absolutely! Ted does an amazing job on his videos. A while back I became a member of the Looth Group, which Ted is also a part of. Ted has been the interview topic at the Looth Group a couple of times and we get a fascinating look behind the scenes, he talks about his TH-cam channel, challenges that come with that and lot's of other cool stuff. He seems like a genuine down to earth nice guy in these casual interviews.
Was the little mahogany piece planned or an oops made into a feature. I like the feature. I also like the 1/4" "spacer" great trick. I caught a little Ted and Derek both in there. Great video my friend.
Derek and Ted, two of my all time favorites. The mahogany piece was planned, although it does look like one of those "featured oopses" Lol. I wanted to make the neck blank as thin as possible and get just enough height at the saddles. I had an unmentioned goal of saving some weight as well so the thinner the headstock and heel the better. I didn't want to cut the slot in the fretboard since it would be a shallow slot and very thin on the bottom. I've come to realize it's a huge challenge to make a neck build video watchable and entertaining.
Most chucks attach by a mortise taper. It’s just a press fit and you have to fiddle with them to get them off. Once it’s off you have to determine what the taper is. Either 1,2 or 3. Google can help. Then but the chuck you like with the right mortise taper and pop it in there. MSC, Macmaster Carr or Granger are good sources for quality chucks. I replaced mine with a keyless chuck and would never go back. Good luck. Love your videos!
"As it sits, this fretboard is 10 mililiters thick..." "After a quick meet up with the bandsaw, and a thrash throught the planer to remove a cord of material, it's spot on. I'm getting this metric system dialed!" LOL you sure are! We are all better for it.
Most enjoyable, thank you for sharing your considerable talent and skill.
The figuring on the fretboard looks lovely.

You're funny...I like your sense of humour. I liked the polishing polishing polishing comment, we obviously watch the same repair man

Keep up the funny and down to earth humour that makes your channel so watchable. Sending all the best from the UK @@Ninety2guits
Great job again !
Love the fret markers.
Cool stuff. I like the 92 logo!

Can't imagine that 92 logo in a Fender P bass headstock...
Absolutely friggin' AMAZING work: I may be contacting you for the same.

It's called a _Morse_ taper, not mortise.

Lol! I'm a dork.
I want a shorter bass neck for my Dean; but what is your email, and how much will it cost me?
Hi Robert, email is on my channel page. Hit me up on there. Thank you.
Google Jacob drill chucks, see chucks of all sizes
