For drilling small holes on the VN 12, I am limited to finding a lot of odd collets, or using a drill chuck with 1/2" straight shank in a 1/2" VN collet.
I have a couple spare blanks made up from 1144 stress proof, with the VN taper , threads, keyway and drive lugs already cut- I am thinking about putting one on the the lathe and turning a Jacobs taper for a drill chuck.
Any advice on this, like what size drill chuck to use and what Jacobs taper to turn? I don't know a thing about the Jacobs taper,angle, size, etc, except that they fit drill chucks.
Is there a size chart around for the Jacobs taper?
Any brand of moderately price chucks ya'll like? (moderate-$75-$200)
Thanks, Stoneaxe.
