Hi,
Brand-new to the forum. I acquired a second-hand drill press, and it came without a key for the chuck. The press itself is an Orbit, made in China in the 1980s. The chuck had been upgraded by the previous owner, and it's inscribed with the following:
1/16-½ R HM 1.5-13 L J33 S2A W. GERMANY
The few chuck keys I have for my other drills are either the wrong tooth-count, or they don't fit into the pilot hole. Is there anyone who can help me find a chuck key of the correct size, based on the info on the chuck itself?
I'm a self-employed wallcovering contractor form Pittsburgh area. I started woodworking as a hobby about a dozen years ago, but I had to leave behind my shop when I lost my home in a divorce in 2007. I've just built a new bench, and I plan to set up a shop in my basement. I was able to hang onto the drill press, a router table, a table saw, a Compound miter saw, and a jointer from my previous setup, along with a few clamps and accessories. I'm a novice woodworker, at best.
Thanks in advance.
