I have always been facilitated with how taper fits can hold. It goes against all common sense but they do! Sometimes the only thing that works is the blow of a steel hammer, that initial shock transfers down to the bottom of the taper. I learned this the hard way while trying to remove my MT2 taper from the mill, I was banging the draw bolt like crazy with a soft blow hammer and it wouldn’t budge, switched to a steel hammer and one tap later it was free. I repeated the experiment thinking I loosened it up with the soft blow but alas it proved my theory- Only a sharp hammer strike would free my tooling. Great stuff Jon! 😃👍
Right On John! 🙌 Right! Just like on the Bridgeport Mill, I tap the drawbar with my brass hammer to release the taper and it pops right off. This one was really stuck and it’s interesting that the new JT6 taper I just got is shorter than the one that was in the Chuck. This new one e will be much better. It is wild how strong the hold is on the taper. That’s a good tip with the shock of the hammer blow.
When you had to go to a Pipe extension for leverage , I got to admit i was on the edge of my seat , expecting anything at that point ... glad it worked out .. that was on tight ..
I agree with Scourcrafters comment. However, on my radial arm drill there is a threaded collar around the jacobs quill that does exactly what your tool did. Tapers are an unknown quantity, the physics are baffling. This kind of content is so useful. Thanks for bringing us along and showing that brilliant solution. Cheers
Right On Joe! 🙌 Yeah this one was really stuck and the JT-6 taper was oddly long compared to the new one I just got. Hope all is great in Florida! Cheers! 🍻
It seems that some projects just want to fight you all the way, great solution though Jon, but had me worried for your Proto wrench for a moment, that sure was stuck tight !
I'm faced with the same issue on the exact same chuck, however my arbor is MT3 and I want to pull it out and replace it with an NT30 unit so that I can use it with my mill. Don't have and tapered wedges and can't find them locally. Any ideas on how to get the darn thing off?
I think Mr. Pete222 did a video about making some wedges in the shop. That might be an option if you can’t find them. I ordered some on Amazon. amzn.to/3Z1Exve
Mine was equally as stuck. I couldn’t even press it out without the fear of something exploding. In the end I heated the female side and hit it so hard with my drift that the drift completely deformed and got stuck.

That really was tight! I was on the edge of my seat too, hoping it would work and the inside of the taper was still in good shape!
Man! That rascal didn't want to let loose! Absolutely a Great job out smarting it! I tell ya, Your on a roll Mr. Jon! Keepin coming!
Right On Big Vic! 🙌 Thanks! I’m feeling good and working on lots of content!
Crazy stuck, when you went for the cheater I was half expecting the Chuck to launch across the shop when it let loose.
Right! It seemed like it had a lot of tension on it! Bang Zoom Trip to the moon! 🌕

Hay John that's a nice tap follower you have in that tray there. Great to see you are over 20,000 subscribers and posting more content.👍
Right On Dave! 🙌 That tap follower is the best! Thanks!
Good Ole Yankee engineering...it helps to have all that equipment to help a guy out...what a shop you have...nice job from new jersey...🖖
Jersey? Right On! 🙌 I hope you’re enjoying a great Taylor Ham egg and cheese sandwich! Jersey is great, I’ll be back this summer for some good times!
Well done Jon. Love the cheater. Great idea on the puller. Right On Jon.
Right On Randy! 🙌 Thanks! I needed some extra umph with the cheater bar! 💪
Not sure why they are called cheater bars, I call it getting the job done with a handle extension.@@RightOnJonCrane
I’m impressed!
Right On! 🙌 Thanks! I was impressed too how good that worked. It was really stuck.
It seems that some projects just want to fight you all the way, great solution though Jon, but had me worried for your Proto wrench for a moment, that sure was stuck tight !
Right On! 🙌Thanks Andy! yeah I put that Proto to the test! Added an extra 3 ft to it!
NICE!!!
Right On! 🙌 Thanks!
Nice job solving a problem and not giving up!!!! Jon was there any sign of any type of loc Tite on it?
Right On Matt! 🙌 I did not see any loctite but it sure felt like there was some on there. That was really stuck!

What does the saying watch your top knot mean?
It basically means to take care of yourself. and watch your head/back, thxs for sharing..hi moma kat
Right On Tom! 🙌 That’s exactly how I feel when I say “watch your top knot” 😃🌲🌲🌲🐈
Since you're gonna take the chuck apart anyway, couldn't you drive it with a punch from the other side, maybe adding a little heat to help?
😊
Right On Lukas! 🙌

satisfying isn't John
Right On David! 🙌 Very satisfying indeed! It’s nice when a plan works. 😁
