Hi Still new to the forums and machining in general, but like the info I see so far. I'm just getting around to hooking up and refurbishing my old Southbend lathe.
In the meantime I am having difficulty in separating the drill chuck that came with it from a sleeve adaptor that is on it so that I can fit it into the tailstock to do a quick job. these no slot in it to knock it out. I tried a bit with a crescent wrench to pry it between the chuck and the sleeve, but seems really stuck and dont want to damage it., I'm not even 100% sure its meant to come apart?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
