I need a replacement chuck key … DELTA strikes again

[Todd Burch]

I need part number 1313104. It's a key for a 1/2" chuck on a Delta 14" drill press 14-040. It's no longer available from DELTA, ereplacements, Mike's or toolpartsdirect. DeWalt even lists it as not available.

The marking on the chuck is RJ33 13L. I've looked for a cross reference, but to no available.

Anyone know of a suitable replacement?

Thanks.

You're just going to have to go generic. From what I've heard, this fits fine (http://www.travers.com/chuck-keys?Category=UserSearch=JACOBS%20CHUCK%20KEYS||Us erSearch=block%20id%2051891%20and%20class%20level3 %20id%20298560) but don't quote me, but I'm sure a lot of generics do as well. If nothing else, take the chuck out of your drill press, take it to the store and find one that works.

Todd,

A few years ago I lost one to a drill press I was using then. I was able to find one at a local Ace hardware store.

Worst case, replace the chuck itself with one you can find a matching key for.

Great opportunity to go with a keyless chuck.

[Terry Beadle]

+1 with Mr Blue. Once you go keyless you never go back...just kidding!

[Bob DeWolfe]

Try RENOVO PARTS.com for Delta parts. You may need to call them but they carry a large number of Delta Parts.

I got his contact from Delta recently.

I've never not found one I needed in Ace Hardware.

I went by Ace yesterday and picked up a 1/2" chuck key with a 1/4" pilot. It works, but it's sloppy. I'll go back and get the 9/32" pilot and try it.

I just found a Milwaukee that works on my cushman jt33 13L japan chuck which came on my Rockwell 15-069 dp.

Got a part #?

[Todd Burch]

And just for completeness on my previous attempt at Ace, a 9/32" pilot would not fit the hole in the chuck. The first Jacobs part #30251 I got from Ace had a 1/4" pilot, but the pilot was too long. Without grinding the pilot off, I could not tell how well the gears would mesh. But, for a slop fit, it did work.

Yes Todd I edited my original post with it right after I replied but it didn't go through apparently. Like you I went nuts trying to find a key. I also called cushman and let them know.

What is below is from another post I made here about a month ago.

"I found a key. It is a milwaukee 48-66-3280 (tel:48-66-3280). Chuck key for 3/8 and 1/2inch chucks with 1/4 inch pilot. I did it by taking the entire head to a tool supply store. The clerk knew exactly what I needed, took about 30 seconds. Sometimes its best to forget the net and go old school. "
