Chuck disassembly

[AJWParticipant @ajw]

Acquired a lovely old Bosch drill complete and in a real sturdy steel carrying case from the early 80’s.

The chuck feels like it needs a good clean out and at the moment it’s in soak in paraffin. Normally Jacobs type chucks can be pressed apart for cleaning and light lubrication, this one although not a Jacob’s appears well made but has tube type pressed on rear section which would prevent normal (usual) dismantling.

Can they come apart?

That would have been useful! Here it is submerged!

 

Never thought of looking on YouTube – thanks!

Useful info in the video, I have never tried to take that type to bits, Rohm chucks for electric drills are often that type.

If you clamped two pieces of wood together and bored a hole on the joint line just a couple of mm smaller than the chuck body size, it would be easier to dismantle when clamped in a vise.
