Accupro CKS0806020MSC Drill Chuck 1/32 to 5/16 in JT2 Short

Product Description

The ACCUPRO CKS0806020MSC is a keyless drill chuck designed for precision drilling applications in machine shop, production, and toolroom environments. It accepts drill bit shanks from 1/32 inch up to 5/16 inch (0.8 mm to 8 mm), covering the range most commonly needed for small-diameter drilling. The chuck mounts via a JT2 Short taper and uses a ball-bearing design to maintain concentricity and smooth operation under repeated use. The steel construction provides durability in demanding machining conditions. Machinists, tool and die makers, and production operators are the typical end users for this style of chuck.

This chuck is suited for benchtop drill presses, CNC drilling heads, tapping machines, and light-duty machining centers that accept a JT2 Short taper mounting interface. The keyless design allows fast bit changes without a chuck key, making it practical for high-turnover production settings where downtime between tool changes needs to be minimized. The 1.457-inch sleeve diameter keeps the profile compact for work in tighter setups.

Key Features

• Keyless operation for fast, tool-free bit changes
• Capacity range of 1/32 inch to 5/16 inch suits small-diameter drill work
• JT2 Short taper mount for secure, repeatable seating
• Ball-bearing design supports smooth rotation and concentricity
• Steel chuck body for durability in production environments
• Compact 1.457-inch sleeve diameter for reduced interference in tight setups

Compatibility

Designed for use with drill presses, machining centers, and drilling heads equipped with a JT2 Short taper spindle interface.

Installation Notes

Installation requires seating the JT2 Short taper firmly onto a matching spindle taper — the chuck should be driven on using a soft mallet or arbor press, never hammered with a hard-faced tool. Always ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered off before mounting or removing the chuck. Verify taper bore cleanliness and freedom from burrs before seating to ensure proper chuck runout. A qualified machinist or toolroom technician should perform the installation.
