      From: muratlanne@gmail.com              BP wrote in message news:vt9kpt$3mlh$1@dont-email.me...                     Still, in-person transactions aren't foolproof, at least when I'm the       fool. Went to a local Ace store and asked for a chuck key to fit a       3/8" Jacobs chuck with a 15/64ths (0.234") pilot. The pilot's right,       fits just fine. but the pinion gear is too big.              It's a nice bike ride to return it and I don't think they'll give me       much pushback if i want to exchange it for the right part, but that       was a one star deal too.              Thanks for writing!              bob prohaska       --------------------------       Is the K number of the key stamped in tiny letters on the chuck?              If you find one with the right gear but too small a pilot you could sleeve       it with hobby store brass tubing, stretched to almost fit and pressed on.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
