Need to change the chuck on my drill press. It's kinda old and the chuck is kinda gnarley and the chuck key doesn't fit properly and it doesn't turn very easily etc etc.
Real question is, how do I identify the morse taper ie #1 or #2? I don't think I have anything big enough to test, its a 16mm (5/8"+) chuck which i'm hoping to replace with a 5/8". The only thing I know my MT# on is my lathe and I don't think the chuck will fit in that and I don't think my lathe center will even touch the sides of the drill quill.
Any ideas??
Thanks
John
