Hello all,
I just bought a keyless chuck for my drill press, and am having drill slippage issues. It's a cheaper chuck, but I'm wondering if it really is just a crappy chuck, or if I'm using the wrong style shaft on my drills. I'm using straight round shanks, as most of my drilling is smaller than 1/4", and I havent been able to find drills that have beveled shafts (not sure the proper terminology, but it seems larger drills have a tri-side shaft which eliminates the slippage problem) for better grip into the chuck.
Here's a link to the chuck i bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PMCLPWM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Is it the chuck or drills that's the problem? Can you recommend a better chuck that won't break the bank, or drills down to #29 that have "beveled" shafts?
