G4003G,,,,,chuck lock??

[dan12]

is there a way to lock the chuck?
very big PITA to have to hold chuck.
my old atlas had a lock pin
I am either blind or it is not there:thinking:

Nope. I usually just put my Jet in the lowest gear to hold the chuck for hand tapping and the like. If I really need to lock it in one direction, I just put the chuck key in the chuck (with the e-stop activated), and allow the chuck key to rest against a block of wood on the ways.

Put it in reverse and feed the tap in there like a man...but seriously what Jim said above.

I stick a piece of wood between the bed and the chuck jaws.
