I fixed my Jacobs Chuck just now....After all of these years I never
knew that they were repairable...Butt mine didn't have the same problems that the guy demonstrated in the post...After I got it apart I was surprised to find very little rust and dried up oil or grease...
Even after I pulled the split nut off and washed everything in spirits the jaws didn't want to slide I spent most of the morning working with it and finally decided that it had somehow gotten burred up inside most likely from someone beating on it...
I very carefully filed out the burs and eventually got everything to move and slide again....Greased it and pressed it back together ...It seems acceptable to me now...
Sure glad I saw that post...Who's was it?...I don't seem to see it now???

Thanks to all of you
Thank you all,
For so generously sharing your knowledge and experience and wisdom with the rest of us ....I have found exactly the information that I needed to successfully repair and overhaul my recently acquired 83 Shopsmith...
