Awl--
On the previously mentioned Rockwell drillheads, one has a near impossibly-frozen chuck.
I thought it might be of interest to some that the well-reviewed PB penetrant also comes in gallon cans, not readily available locally, but $25/gal from the company--800 950-9566. fwiw, HD has gal cans of WD-40, which I also bought--about $10/gal.
The PB spray isn't quite doing it in this context, so I'm hoping w/ the chuck actually immersed/soaking in the liquid PB for a few days, and poss. heated on a hot plate, I'll have better luck.
Any other tips on freeing up frozen/rusted chucks? I tried using two pipe wrenches, but they are kind of crappy, and slip on the hard steel chuck. Hammer/chuck key don't work, except to strip the key.
Man, did I get snuckered on this 3-head gang-type drill press table. The only thing I can say is that the motors were not burned out, proly cuz the cords were snipped at the motors. From a "friend of a friend"..... goodgawd....
