Accupro PN0080600 Keyless Drill Chuck JT2 Short 5/16 in

Product Description

The ACCUPRO PN0080600 is a keyless drill chuck designed for use with tapered-mount spindles on drill presses, lathes, and handheld power drills. It accepts bit shanks from 1/64 inch up to 5/16 inch, making it suitable for small-diameter drilling work across a range of materials. The JT2 Short taper mount provides a secure, repeatable fit on compatible spindles. Built with a steel chuck body and ball-bearing internals, this unit handles sustained operation at speeds up to 17,000 RPM. The keyless sleeve design allows fast bit changes without a separate chuck key. It is installed by machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and skilled tradespeople.

This chuck is suited for light-to-medium drilling applications on benchtop and floor-standing drill presses as well as portable drill motors equipped with a JT2 Short taper spindle. The 1.496-inch sleeve diameter fits within standard chuck guards and work envelopes. The 2.913-inch closed length keeps tool stick-out predictable in tight setups. Typical users include machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance technicians who need a dependable keyless chuck for repetitive drilling cycles.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of tapered drill chucks should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with taper-mount tooling. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing the chuck. Use a wooden or brass drift with a mallet to seat the taper firmly; never strike the chuck body directly with a steel hammer. Remove the chuck using the spindle drift slot if equipped, following the machine manufacturer's procedure.
