My Albrechect Chuck for New Rikon Drill Press

[Vince Shriver]

I want to use my Albrechect chuck on a new Rikon DP (30-217). The Albrechect currently lives on a Delta D.P. With the following info, will I be able to switch out the factory Rikon chuck with my Albrechect?

Albrechect Chuck: "Albrechect 1-13" and "130 J2"

Rikon Spec: "Spindle Taper MT2" -- "Chuck Taper JT3"

Current arbor Albrechect chuck to Delta spindle: "Jacobs Chuck Arbor" "2MT 2JT"

Should be able to switch over your Albrecht chuck with its arbor, as your arbor and the Rikon have a #2 Morse taper. Your Albrecht would not fit on the arbor that comes with the Rikon according to those specs.

Thanks, Jon. I thought that was the case, but wanted to hear it from somebody in the know. I've been using the Albrechect for a couple yrs now and giving it up would be a deal breaker.
