Changing Chucks
Figure 54. Removing mill/drill spindle cap.
The drill chuck can be removed and replaced with
an optional collet chuck when switching to milling
operations.
To change chucks in the mill/drill:
1. Disconnect the lathe/mill from the power
source!
2. Remove the mill/drill spindle cap as shown in
Figure 54. Note—if you cannot remove the
cap off by pulling on it, give it a sideways
bump with your hand.

3. Use a 19mm wrench, as shown in Figure 55,
to remove the spindle draw nut.
4. Thread the draw nut up so it is flush with the
top of the draw bolt.
5. Using a brass or wood hammer, tap the end
of the draw nut as shown in Figure 56. The
drill chuck should now become loose in the
spindle.
