I am replacing a frozen chuck on a drill press that I'm restoring. It's a JT33 taper, with a 1" thread for the collar (these machines are not my area of expertise, sorry if any of my terminology is incorrect/confusing). I bought a new chuck online (another version of this one) that is a JT33, but upon receiving it I found out the thread on the collar is 3/4". I don't see anywhere online where the size of the collar threads is specified. The chuck fit's otherwise, just won't screw into the spindle.
My questions are as follows:
-anyone know of a chuck that will fit my application?
-if not a new chuck, can I remove the collar and the small piece of tube that connects to the chuck (sorry, don't know the name of this part) and swap them out? I know there are removal wedges, I've not seen one for a JT33 anywhere
-will some kind of adapter for the 3/4" to 1" threads suffice, if it can be found?
-am I incorrect thinking it's a JT33, and it's some other size? I have calipers somewhere that I can use to measure the arbor size, if needed.
Thanks so much for any help.
