Alright have another silly issue to attend.
I had previously mentioned I picked up a Dumore Type 16 press. It's great.
Problem is that the runout on small bits is bad enough that it bears replacing. The shaft and outer part of the chuck is not showing any runout. 1/8 bit has no runout, and on this small chuck it sits high out of the jaws. On a bit around 1/16 the runout renders it useless, the issue is internal with the chuck.
Curious if anyone has removed these? Just want to know your method. Tried calling Dumore and kept having to leave messages, I need this for work so the sooner I can get this replaced the better.
From what I know (and have been told by a member here) the chuck is just press fit onto the shaft of the motor assembly.
A pic of the chuck.
