Max Chuck Capacity: 16mm
Mount size: JT3 Taper
A drill chuck with a JT3 taper is a tool used to hold and secure drill bits for drilling operations. The JT3 taper is a standardized conical shape that ensures a secure and accurate fit between the chuck and the machine spindle. The chuck typically has a key slot or a keyless mechanism to tighten and loosen the jaws, which grip the drill bit. These chucks are commonly used in various machine tools, including drill presses, milling machines, and lathes.
Application:
- Centering, drilling, tapping, milling, reaming operation.
- To hold a drill bit or other cutting tools on a spindle.
- Automobile manufacturing
- Mold manufacturing

Installation Info
Clean both tapers of all grease and grit. With the chuck jaws completely retracted into the chuck and using a thin
piece of wood to protect the chuck nose, tap the chuck into place on the spindle/taper adaptor.
To remove chuck from arbor
Insert wedges between the back of the chuck and the shoulder of the arbor as shown in the picture on the right.
By tapping these wedges with a hammer or applying force in a bench vice, the wedges will force the chuck off the
arbor shaft.
