I was convinced the Chuck on a drill press was threaded, obviously wrong about that lol
They are cheaper than a chainsaw, but dearer than a loaf of bread. Keyless chucks are brilliant if you are prone to losing the chuck key, if not buy a keyed chuck they are cheaper

If you are talking about a chuck key then use a magnet to keep it in the same place attached to the machine, but make sure you don't keep it in the chuck

Not wishing to be pedantic, but is that internal taper MT2 or MT3?
Not sure it could be a bt16 taper i need to check the measurement in my black book

I have mentioned this before however repetition can be good. Go to repair shops and request U/S magnetrons they have efficient large rare earth magnets place one on every machine that requires a special tool. The drill press convenience will give certainty . Each Magnetron has two magnets. Makes life easier for me. The real advantages of a drill press having the through hole in the quill and using a draw bar are now very apparent in the conversations.
Kind regards Peter.

Probably cheaper and quicker to buy rare earth magnets from China.
