I just bought a 1/2" Jacobs chuck that is on a #2 morse taper. I want to remove the #2 morse taper to put the chuck on a #1 morse taper. How do you get it off?
In the case where there isn't enough of a shoulder on the arbor to get the u-shaped wedges up against, Jacob's recommends drilling a hole through the arbor near the chuck to create a fixed point to wedge against.
I have 2 chucks and one arbor I've had to do this with, but jacobs hasn't steered me wrong yet!
Full details on removing all kinds of Jacobs chucks here.
