-19-G4015Z Lathe/Mill
Lathe Mounting
Prior to mounting the drill chuck into the tailstock
wipe the inside of the tailstock barrel and arbor
down with a clean cloth and inspect them for
nicks or scratches. Any irregularities on the sur-
face of the arbor or inside the tailstock barrel will
hinder the locking capability of the taper and
should be dressed smooth with a fine file.
To mount the drill chuck into the tailstock of the
lathe, slide the arbor into the tailstock barrel
about one half of the way. With a quick motion,
finish sliding the chuck the rest of the way. This
should seat it well into the tailstock barrel.
Because the drill chuck arbor is threaded on the
small end, removal requires the use of a mallet
and a wooden dowel as in
Figure 12.
Tap along
the back edge of the drill chuck on the left and
then the right. The drill chuck and arbor will pop
loose from the tailstock barrel.
Drill chuck arbors with a standard tang (or flat) on
the small end allow the operator to simply turn
the tailstock handwheel counterclockwise until
the drill chuck and arbor pop loose. Grizzly offers
a variety of chucks and arbors. Please see our
current catalog for more information.

Drill Press Mounting
To mount the drill chuck into the drill press:
1. Remove the small plastic cap on top of the
belt guard and slide the draw bar out of the
spindle through the top.
2. Insert the arbor half way into the drill press
spindle, then quickly slide it in place.
3. Replace the draw bar and thread it into the
arbor. Do Not over tighten! The draw bar
only needs to be lightly tightened.
Tightening any further will make it difficult to
remove the arbor!
