OK, we have the Tom Senior mill at school with the vertical S type head and a Clarkson chuck fitted. How the heck do we remove the Clarkson chuck? Tried today by loosening the drawbar bolt and tapping to release any taper that may be in the spindle (MT3 or R8?). Tried several times without any movement at all.
HELP, what do we try next - a bigger hammer? oxy-acetylene cutting torch :-). Anyone done this and knows THE WAY? All reasonable suggestions will be read and heeded.
TIA, Mike in BC
