its model number 4Z660 B
its in good shape so i'd like to find a chuck for it, but am having no luck finding anything. it says it should be a 1/2" chuck.

What is the spindle taper?

 

[larry_g]

There are a few standard mounts for afixing a chuck to a spindle. If the spindle is a male taper it is probably a JT taper. Info can be found here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_tapers

If it is a screw on then you have to identify the thread size. If a female taper then the above site may have the info you need.

no neat sig line

it tapers thicker as you go up the spindle.

So did you go the wiki site I posted above and figure out what you have?

I just finished placing an order for some parts on a drill press at eReplacementParts - maybe they would have the part you need?
