Enco has an SPI keyless drill chuck on sale that I'm interested in:

Anybody have any experience with SPI stuff?



Thanks, Bob



BTW - the tinyurl was created with the FireFox plugin. Quite neat: right click on the page that you want a tinyurl for, the popup menu has an entry "Create TinyURL for this page". Choosing that puts the tinyurl on your clipboard, from which you can paste it anywhere. So it's just: right click & choose, then paste. Thanks to whoever it was that recently suggested the plugin.

An s*it - Enco won't allow direct access to that page. You'll have to go to Use-enco:

search for part 319-3110.

I got the chuck today. It's nicely made & I would be pleased with it except I can't reverse with it. The catalog says "... will not loosen up with instant spindle stop and reverse". But I couldn't back a tap out without it loosening. Sigh.

The catalog also says "Double the torque when used with optional spanner wrench". Maybe it wouldn't loosen on reverse if the wrench was used. But the wrench would only grab the sleeve - how does one hold the body? Is a spindle lock assumed?

If the wrench would tighten it enough to hold in reverse, I would make a wrench. But if it won't, I'm going to return it & I don't want to waste the time making the wrench. And probably marring the sleeve while using it.

As always, your help will be greatly appreciated, Bob

I emailed ENCO support & got the answer that "The spanner wrench would lock it." $10.45 + shipping. I'll make my own - that'll be faster as well as cheaper.
