I got up today ready to drill the holes, put the center drill in the chuck reached up to grab the chuck key and it was gone.
Looked everywhere for it twice or three times to no avail it was frigging gone.
The stupid drill press has a clip thing to put the key in and I can never seem to remember to put it there.
Even if it do it falls out and runs off.
So it ends up in the must unlikely places.
Out of desperation I decided to look in my, (it wont get lost here drawer) in the house.
There it was along with the rest of the stuff I didn't want to lose.
I have no recollection of putting that darn chuck key in that drawer.
Well today I did what I should have done a long time ago I tied it to the press with a string.
The one that goes to the metal lathe is going to get tied to that lathe too.
Chuck keys of all things have driven me nuts for years.
The one on my hole shooter is tied to the cord.
Well anyway I have the holes drilled and threaded the stud installed and it all fits like a glove.
I decided not to make a nut with a handle on it to tighten the thing I came up with something else.
