clarke pillar drill

[dwdwdw]

I am trying to take out the MT2 from my CDP 350 F pillar drill. There is a slot each side of the quill but where there should be a gap to insert the wedge to knock out the MT there is just a solid tube. Any ideas how to remove the MT?

Have you tried rotating the chuck to see if there is a slot in the tube?

I bet someone has put a none tanged taper up there and its gone too far up and covers the slotted holes...2 ways to get it out,
1..put an end mill in the chuck and start milling,it will soon rattle out
2..something ive done in the past with the same problem..buy a cheap tapered (about a tenner) ball joint remover and tap it on to drop the taper out.

There are 2 sets of slots, one in the quill and one in the rotating shaft, obviously they have to line up before you can insert the wedge.

The ball-joint splitter above the chuck should work, but if there's a taper in the chuck that stands a chance of coming out, leaving the adapter still in the shaft.

yea but have you ever tried to remove a chuck off the end of a J taper...a big old rough inside MT2 on a chinese drill will give it up 1st i bet

Given that the MT on my Clarke drill wouldn't stay in place I'd agree!

thanks all for the quick replies, I tapped the chuck (gently) it along with the MT2 came out, but the slots in the rotating shaft were still not visible. so removed the quill/rotating shaft & the inner rotating shaft then turned round to reveal the slots, now empty as the MT2 was not inside. So much needed grease up & replaced all.
