Jacob's chuck for a Hougen mag drill?
Jacob's chuck for a Hougen mag drill?
(OP)
Hi guys:
I recently bought a Hougen magnetic drill press for drilling holes through the tops of machine bases on Ebay. It works great for trepanning large holes with rotabroaches.
I would like to also use it for drilling and tapping with ordinary jobber drills. Is there any way to adapt the quill to add/substitute an ordinary Jacob's chuck?
Thanks for any replies.

Now...how do I get the old chuck off? It appears to be threaded on, but there is no "reverse" for the motor, nor does there appear to be any sort of brake to help get the chuck off.
Any pointers?

Also of you look around there were several people that made accessories for the Hougen.
