Re: key type chuck with R8 mount
New chuck, new adapter and good technique will be the solution.

Just let go of it, it will eventually unplug itself.

Exactly my point. That system is proven by time.curtis cutter wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 10:03 am New chuck, new adapter and good technique will be the solution.
While I've not seen it in published articles, my choice in seating a chuck on a new arbor is to use the chuck itself as the force required. After cleaning both the spigot and the shank taper (use a solvent that leaves NO residue), place the chuck on the taper, then give the shank a sharp rap on a piece of aluminum. The aluminum should be on a solid surface (like your mill table). The weight of the chuck, alone, will be more than sufficient to permanently set the taper.
This method eliminates the need to press the chuck, or to strike it with a hammer, neither of which methods is a good idea.
Solvent?
Lacquer thinner
Alcohol
Mineral spirits
Stoddard Solvent
Acetone
even MEK or 1,1,1-Trichloroethane, assuming you'd be fortunate enough to have some.
Apply generously, ensuring that all traces of oils/grease are removed, then hit both pieces with an air blast. It is now time to assemble.
A quick wipe with a cloth is not enough.

I have some PPG DX330 wax and grease remover used for auto painting and it seems to do a good job of removing surface contaminates.Harold_V wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 5:00 pmExactly my point.

Re: key type chuck with R8 mount
I tried the clever method of heating the chuck and freezing the arbor. Seemed to work until the day the chuck fell off.

Drill and tap the JT end of the arbor 1/4-20. Drill through the back of the chuck 9/32. Use a SHCS to hold the chuck on the taper.
