What size chuck key for Sears Industrial Drill Press 2HP?

[Goldhawg]

This press belonged to my late father and I don't have a key for it. Has a Jacobs chuck RJ4-19L, and the chuck is way bigger than any I've ever seen. Anybody know what chuck key would fit and where I can get one?

Thanks!

model # on the chuck?

Darn head cold this AM ,lets see if this dirty trick will at least give you some idea.

Take a box of drill bits and place the bottom of each drill bit into the chuck pilot hole until you can make out the exact hole dia. information.( Example a 1/4" drill bit will give you a 1/4" inch hole).

That first step will eliminate many keys.

Then look at the following chart for more help:

Not able to find info on the #'s you posted.

Hope it helps you out.

3/8 drill fits, and the label says 3/4" chuck. I've ordered a K4 with those dimensions; here's hoping it works.

Many Jacobs chucks have the key number marked on the chuck.

All
I ordered a Jacobs chuck key K4 #3655 and it fit perfectly. Just posting for future readers that wonder what works.
