Re: How do I remove a Jacobs chuck from its mandrel?

Thanks Andy, I take a whirl at it this weekend. I might make a pair
of wedges out of a couple of drift pins and try it. It's not that I
begrudge myself buying tools<G>, it's just that I'll probably only
use the wedges this once. If it looks rough, I'll order them from
McMasters on Monday and get them by Tuesday - with shipping will
still run me only a few bucks.
