I've found myself doing an unplanned rehab of a 1970s Rockwell Drill Press (15-069). As part of that, I need a new chuck. I believe it's a JT33 taper.
I'm not very informed on what to look at or stay away from. Are there any recommendations? Cost is a consideration. On the other hand, the rehab project is in place of the PowerMatic 2800B order that I cancelled. I'm not opposed to spending money if I have to for quality.
Edit to add: I'd prefer keyless. It's replacing a 1/2" chuck, also interested in thoughts if I should step up to 5/8"?
