I have a 0-1/2" Albrecht that I recently serviced (didn't do a video). I used a stone on all the sliding surfaces, and that did wonders. To put the bearing balls back in, I 3-D printed a fixture that I inserted from the back of the shell, then dropped all the balls in around it. The fixture had a smaller diameter stup that the hole for the arbor that's in the body would fit over. I then pushed the fixture out the back with the body of the chuck. Made it a lot easier than I imagine it was trying to set those balls in one by one into the grease.
Nice save Dean. Good reference video for the future. Sometimes the littlest things are the biggest mystery. I miss Enco they had some decent prices on their products. Thank for the video and Happy 4th.
I did the same on one of my drill chuck two weeks ago. But the cup shape part on the screw is broken, so my drill chuck became an artefact. But you have a nice win here. Back on track again.
Couldn't make it this year.. conflicting family plans. I did get to meet Clark E. and Mike W. traveling with Keith R. up here two days after. That was nice.. And I won a wiggler in the raffle 👍👍

Nice one sir, thanks for showing that. That’s a fiddly little device but great to have the info available for others to see.
well done.
Gday Dean, that was really interesting and well explained, thanks mate
Thanks Matty !
Some very useful information, and well explained Dean. I'm sure it will be useful one day. Cheers Nobby

That's a bummer. Thanks for the view Michael..
It's nice for small work, happy its working again.
great discussion and instruction/how to…
Thanks Chuck !
Nice save Dean. I have a similar chuck. It's the bigger one. Good to know what's in there. Take care.
Thanks Randy, I had visions of having to buy a new one..
Thanks Dean. Where did you get the chuck?
Picked it up at a engineers / machinist estate sale. I've never seen another one like it.
Thanks Terry 👍👍
How was the bash? You score some swap meet goodies?
