The chuck is mammoth and has an equally mammoth price tag; but the description for the chuck got my attention because it mentions: "These new chucks were being manufactured especially for us as our recent catalog was being printed."

Wonder if this is just a holiday/specials catalog or a full catalog.

When I read the subject I was about to get upset because my new drill chuck arrived today. But after seeing the price I am happy with my purchase.

Is it really that big a deal to use the good ol' chuck key that someone would drop $130 for this? I understand keyless chucks on cordless drills where you might make frequent bit changes while on a ladder etc., but I can't really see why a drill press would need one.

There is no Shopsmith keyless chuck in my future; especially not at $130.

The jacobs chuck in the middle is what I consider to be 'mammoth'!:D

I don't think I will be ordering one any too soon. That won't fit in my budget.

Yep, I too like a paper cataloge. At 81 I do find small print a pain so a goodly sized print is looked for .This recent mailing is the second small one as I recall and am hopefull SS is doing better by now.

My 510 was purchased in 1989 and has served me well. if I bought the new power pro I,d have to live to 104, so I,ll stick with my 510.

Every year you put off the upgrade means to more years you have to live:)
