Fixing the mortising chuck to the spindle (fig. 32)
Always ensure that both the spindle and chuck threads are absolutely clean before assembly.
Warning : the mortiser chuck has a left hand thread !
Put the chuck onto the spindle arbor upto the end and check if the V- groove (2) in the spindle
matches with the 2 holes in the chuck if not, the spindle thread will be damaged!
Introduce the 2 Allen screws (1) and tighten them well.
These press screws are needed to prevent the chuck from loosening.
