Funnily enough I've never though the holding of the chuck to be a safety issue, I always hold on to mine when withdrawing a drill bit otherwise it does have a tendency for the taper to come out of the sleeve.

I don't consider holding the chuck in the tail stock anymore dangerous than holding the chuck of my cordless drill when I'm tightening & un-tightening bits, it's the same thing

[QUOTE="Doug, post: 44753, member: 241"] Funnily enough I've never though the holding of the chuck to be a safety issue, I always hold on to mine when withdrawing a drill bit otherwise it does have a tendency for the taper to come out of the sleeve. I don't consider holding the chuck in the tail stock anymore dangerous than holding the chuck of my cordless drill when I'm tightening & un-tightening bits, it's the same thing :nooidea: [/QUOTE]
