I've got this MT3 drill chuck for my lathe, picked it up in a box-lot at auction today. It's bigger than it looks in the pic - about 10" long without the bit that's stuck in it.
The problem is that unlike the little teeny MT1 chuck that I have of the same style, this one doesn't unscrew. I have no idea what I need to do to get the bit in/out.
Of course, as banged up as it is that might be for the better, but still I'd like to see if I could get it to work. Anyone know what part is supposed to turn, and what isn't, and what might be stuck?
I paid $18 and will sell the other tools I got in the box for at least that much, so if it turns out to be trash I didn't lose anything more than an hour of my time.
thanks
Joe
