morse cone removal

[Moby Duck]

As I understand it you have a chuck with a male taper protruding from the top end. It has been removed from the drill press and the taper appears to be bent. Look inside the chuck as in Olderdans picture and you might also see a screw head. Remove that screw and you should be able to tap the chuck off, or punch it out as advised by Olderdan. Before you manufacture anything new I would suggest that you inspect and clean, remove burrs etc, from both of the tapers and also the female taper in the drill press. Sometimes they can be poorly assembled and appear bent but when cleaned up they run true again. You should also check the jaws of the chuck for burrs or scoring caused by slippage and remove any defects.

some good quality drills like german made "metabo" had the jacobs (keyed & keyless) chuck epoxied in and are a pain in the butt to separate. I had one that i had tried to separate (there was a screw attaching both parts ) and was advised to use an oxy to heat the item. A reputable tool repairer wasn't game to attack it. I didn't have an oxy so gave the wonderful well balanced drill away to someone who could dare to use the oxy method.

Thanks for posting this interesting scenareo & good luck !
