I absolutely love my Llambrich. Incredibly precise and easy to use. I bought mine from Penn Tool Co.

I have the JK-16. Same basic critter, except capacity is 1/8" - 5/8"
Got mine from Amazon 4 years ago - not carried there any longer, apparently.
I didn't need to go below 1/8" on the Nova Voyager floor DP. Honestly, I didn't need to go above 3/8" either. But with the investment in this critter, I was thinking about the future when my wife gets it out of my dead cold hands and puts it up for resale - figger that extra top-end could be useful on the used market.
Patty - that's what puts holes in that round sacrificial table plug we were talking about.
When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.

Thank you Kent.
btw I am making my DP table, incorporating some of the "features" you have on yours.
Round sacr. insert, for one.... w/ center offset about 1/2" .
ALso 2 layer BB ply, not quite as big (19 x 17) but w/ removable "outrigger" side supports for longer stock.
Oh, and definitely no "super-dee-duper" cranking system. I think it's great, but I'm not up to fabricating one.
But, back to the shank 'n' chuck... with you and Michael endorsing it, I''ll go ahead and order it.

outrigger idea is clever Sac insert will work great - plenty of room for lots of holes.
post photos when you're done

We have the Llambrich JK13-MT2 check on the Jet JDP-17 drill press in our community woodworking shop. Like Michael Burnside above, we absolutely love it. Superb concentricity (lack of runout) and excellent holding power. Gentle hand tightening is all that's needed.

One piece so no added runout. I think it is a great idea unless you spin the taper. If you bend or spin the arbor the chuck is toast. Unlikely to spin it in a drill press with drilling wood. Home shop it will last a lifetime.
How many dp chucks have you worn out so far in your life? Have you even had to take a chuck apart for cleaning or to replace any jaws?
