Thanks much! That answers my question. I can apply pressure with my right arm and tighten sleeve with my left hand.

Shopsmith Ketless Chuck
I have received my Shopsmith Keyless Chuck. I really think that the keyless chuck is a great addition to the accessories for my Mark 5. I was more than pleased by the excellent Engineering and quality that includes the 1/32" to 5/8" Chuck capacity. I have used and continue to use the drill feature. I have owned my Mark 5 for over 20 years. I have upgraded to the 520 Pro-fence and the dual tilt feature. I do not have the space for multiple stand alone tools. Shopsmith has done a commendable job with making or adding well designed and thought out upgrades for the Mark 5. Although I do not have the new Pro power Head that will be next on my list. I think that Shopsmth can easily claim that for wood workers it has a product that not many other vendors can equal.

That is what we have come to expect from Shopsmith.
