    Very nice work Peter. You have gone beyond just helping me out here. I truly humbled at your patience, and your dedication to exploring the best possible solutions. I am surprise to see the photo of the Jacob chuck's jaw being so far off. And, I thought that Jacob makes good chucks. Anyway, the...

    Need help with drill spindle!

    Wow Peter, you have done so much to investigate the best possible solution to the bearings mounting method. I really appreciate this. I think the steel shim is probably the best solution to this and I completely trust you to choose whichever method you think is best, either 2 halfs or one...

    Need help with drill spindle!

    The tool I used was a caliber and I am with Peter that it is a smidgens bigger than .620". Peter, yes you can assemble the quill/spindle unit all put together up to the lock collar. Even the chuck can be installed on the spindle prior to installation to the drill head. In short answer, the...

    Need help with drill spindle!

    Thanks for the chuck info. I was searching for the info and also searching for the original box last night. I can't believe that I would have discarded the box. I bought the chuck on Ebay from a fella in UK couple years ago. The chuck was NOS.

    Need help with drill spindle!

    Yeah, I didn't understand the relationship of the in between sleeve either. They should have kept the quill hole at slightly larger than .625" with crown on both side to hold the bearings. I think that one might be a bad design.

    No, I don't remember the taper number on that chuck. I will have to look up the parts number charts on schematic.

    Need help with drill spindle!

    Very nice work Peter. Love what you are doing. Thank you so much for doing the work and documenting the investigation. At least we know that the spindle and the quill is in good shape. I don't know which chuck I should get to replaced that one.

    Need help with drill spindle!

    Is it possible to apply epoxy glue and then turn it down to the diameter on the lathe once it is cured? This way the bearings sit centred to the spindle. If not epoxy glue, perhaps some substance that can be applied on the spindle and then turns to proper diameter.
