Jet 561706 Taper Mount Drill Chuck 0-1/2 in JT-33

Product Description

The JET 561706 is a taper mount drill chuck designed for use with JT-33 arbor tapers. It accepts drill bits and round-shank tooling from 0 to 1/2 inch in diameter, making it a versatile workholding component for drill presses and similar machines. The chuck mounts via a Jacobs Taper No. 33 (JT-33) interface, providing a secure, positive connection to compatible spindles. This type of chuck is typically installed by machinists, tool-and-die professionals, or maintenance technicians performing equipment setup or spindle tooling replacement.

This chuck is suited for stationary drill press applications in both shop and light industrial environments. The 0 to 1/2 inch capacity range covers standard twist drills, step bits, and other round-shank tooling commonly used in metal, wood, and plastic drilling operations. It is sold as a single unit and is intended as a direct replacement or upgrade chuck for machines equipped with a JT-33 spindle taper.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of taper mount chucks should be performed with the machine powered off and the spindle fully stopped. A chuck removal wedge or drift is the appropriate tool for separating the chuck from the spindle taper — do not strike the chuck body directly with a hammer. Verify the taper interface is clean and free of debris before seating the chuck to ensure proper alignment and secure fit.
