Hi All;

I'm trying to identify the taper on a drill press I've recently aquired.
The top of the taper is ~17.1mm and the bottom is ~15.8mm just like JT6
but the overall length of the taper is only 23mm so it 'aint.

Does any one know what this coule be?

Thanks

Joel

See if this publication has the info (~1.8mb):

http://www.jacobschuck.com/pdf/Technical-Information.pdf

It lists the specs for Jacobs tapers and a few others.

Jacobs made an oddball "2 short" that some import drill
presses use, but your dimensions don't seem right for that
one (shrug).

Hi Leon;

Thanks for the reply, however I've checked against all the standard
machine tapers I could find, including the Jacobs list from that site
with no luck :-(

I'm starting to come to the conclusion that it is a non-standard
attachment.

Thanks again

Joel

Dumb question/thought... but have you verified that the
female taper in the drill press actually matches the chucks
taper well? Maybe somebody just jammed the wrong or a
modified taper into it and it worked good enough for them
(shrug).

Lots of taper standards out there, not a lot of them currently in use,
though. If it's an Asian drill press, there were some imported that
had a lesser-used taper, was discussed in.r.c.m. years back. Chucks
with that taper were available back then from a few suppliers, were
expensive though. If you got a good deal on the thing, you know why
now.
