No not choc.
GQ called in for a session of show and tell during a stop over in Perth yesterday. He brought with him one of a pair of Royal sensitive drill arbors
Royal Products that he had purchased from the States for our little Albrecht drill chucks. He also brought with him an abundance of humour. We had a great afternoon..
My chuck has a Jacobs O taper and was fitted with a straight arbor. Jacobs make chuck removal wedges to suit the J1 taper but not the JO. I tried to belt the chuck off with a brass drift but I could see that turning to tears very quickly. So I made a pair of wedges from some spare stainless flat bar. Ground the bevels on my disc sander and filed the slots. Rough and ready and did the job with one hammer tap.
The little drill and it's finger feed work beautifully. I tried it out at 6000 rpm and the action is both smooth and sensitive. A worthwhile acquisition. Thank you again Gregory.
If anyone needs to use my wedges they are only a stamped envelope away.
