Anyone know the best way to remove a tapered chuck 3/8 its made by jacobs their instructions say you have to use a wedge that they sell. Anyone have experience with this?

I've used a cold chisel as wedge before.... clamp the drill in your vise and put the chisel between the chuck and drill body and tap away...

Most Milwaukee portable drills are screw on/off. There is a small screw inside the chuck, which is left hand thread.

They also have a web site with a parts breakdown.

I've never seen an electric hand drill with a tapered chuck. I'd truely be interested in seeing a pic of that drill. If it actually is a taper, then there should be slot in the spindle where to insert a wedge and that should just require a few taps to break the friction bond.

I don't know if that's true. IMO if it's a tapered chuck it would be more like a JT33 taper. MT, such as on a drill press would be as you described.

Had he given a model # we could have looked it up.

My mistake!! Thanks for the correction. I'm also not sure if the OP isn't actually talking about a small drill press.

I have a set of J taper wedges are they are not very $$$. I got them from www.use-enco.com Seem to remember that they were under $10 for the set, and given the price of a good Jacobs chuck these days I don't think I would "chisel wedge" one off unless it was junk.
