In this instructional video by Kent and Shaun from Grizzly, they demonstrate how to properly install a drill chuck and arbor into a drill press, specifically the G7947 17" floor drill press model. They explain the importance of using the correct taper size for the drill chuck, which varies depending on the model of the drill press. They also discuss the Morse taper commonly found on drill press spindles and how to match it with the appropriate arbor. The video emphasizes the importance of cleaning the mating surfaces of the chuck, arbor, and spindle sockets before assembly to ensure a secure fit during operation. The steps for assembling the drill chuck and mounting it to the spindle are detailed, including cleaning the parts, inserting the arbor into the chuck, tapping the arbor to secure it, and seating the chuck and arbor assembly into the spindle. The video concludes with a reminder to follow shop safety procedures and a demonstration of the completed installation.
