Put the chuck in the freezer for a while, then put it in and hit it with a hammer and it will never come out... Guarenteed
What about changing the bearings on a drill press to something that deals with side loads a little better?
Another question... I am planning to use woodworking router bits to mill out the cavity in the plastic on my GPU and NB waterblocks... will this work ok?
