The chuck is not supposed to have a set screw to hold it to the shaft. We are
not talking about Chuck Christ, here, by the way. It's a "morse taper". Clean
it off real well, both the girly part and the boyey part. Let dry. Put a
little chaulk on the shaft and tap the chuck on LIGHTLY. Having said that, if
those two parts aren't properly machined.....you're screwed.

Subject: Drilling out hubs
press didn't help any as chuck refuses to stay attached to the shaft of the
drill press. Strictly a press fit, no set screw, on the POS.
