Safety Note

Helpful hint

  • Like most things, drill chucks wear out with use. Specifically the SHANK (what holds the bit in place) can get worn down. The chuck will no longer hold smaller bits and will continue to “hollow out”.

If we know they need repair, a repair kit can be installed. Here is an example of a chuck needing repair

Here is one that was recently repaired

If you are young and flexible, check the chuck by looking at it. If you are older and inflexible, check it using a mirror. Post on the board the specific drill/chuck that requires repair.

To slow down the wear and tear of the shanks in the drill chuck:

  1. Always clean off the drill bit before you place it in the chuck, remove any dirt, grease, etc.
  2. If there are burrs on the drill bit, please file these off.

Rule and Regulation of the Week

  • we are a do-acracy
  • work is done by those building our maker community.
  • Trying to find a good place to help/start to volunteer?
    • Mow the grass at Lenox.
      • Mower and battery are by the back door.
    • Empty 2 or 3 garbage cans when you visit.
    • ASK an area champion or board member for a project (there are plenty to go around)
