Removing Morse Taper Chuck Video

Might mention that those lever action removal tools are a waste of time and money.

"A public service from Joe AutoDrill". Good on you. But it seems to me that the crucial bit is how the drift fits in the quill. A camera shot of the quill opening and how the spindle might need to be rotated would add a lot.

I've never even heard of such devices... I suppose that's a good thing based on your comment. :)

i noticed your operator has three hands. Most of us are not so blessed. I'd suggest a video of how a two hander does it.

Karl

Right, Karl. I do with two hands and an elbow on my Grizzly drill press. Thumb on one hand holds the drift, fingers hold the drill bit or chuck, elbow holds the three legged wheel, and the left hand holds the hammer to whack the drift.

You watched the soon to be released Fukushima version.

I keep a taper drift welded onto the end of a small homemade slide hammer.It will only take a half hour and some of the stuff in your scrap box and will sve you a lot of time. As you can hold the chuck with one hand and slide the hammer with the other it saves you winding the table up to catch the chuck when it falls out.

I remember seeing commercially made versions of this sort of tool in various shops. Never bothered to read the inscription so have no idea who made them (maybe Morse :-) but they were quite common.

Thanks for the public service. One I'd like to see is removing a chuck from its arbor.
