    Tom,
    The chuck should have a Jacobs taper probably #33 or #1 but you must find out from the model number of the chuck.

    David:

    Here’s the taper that fits my Jacobs chuck.

    They tell me its a friction fit. Based upon this, I guess one just drives the taper into the chuck wih a brass or copper hammer. Is this correct?

    Thanks!
