Chuck removal

I think the Ettco tapping heads were also sold under the Fred'k Pollard label. They certainly look the same in all the pictures I've seen.

I have the Pollard operation and service manual covering all models 200, 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5. Service information seems pretty comprehensive as to dismantling but doesn't tell you how to remove the chuck. However the cut-away parts list diagrams clearly show a taper mount. I have a Pollard No 2 retro-fitted with 3/8" capacity Jacobs chuck marked 31-02 2S taper.

Seems likely that the Pollard ones are Jacobs taper.

If appearances aren't deceiving the Ettco ones will be too.

PM me if you'd like a PDF copy of the Pollard manual.

Clive.

Further to my previous post this thread **LINK** on another forum indicates that for all practical purposes the Pollard ones are the same as the Ettco ones.
