Thanks SAr1 for turning me on to Grizzly. He said I could go to the G5552, one size down. Ok I'm confused here, a 1/2" is 4/8" which is smaller than 5/8" just 1/8" larger than a 1/2", so you are saying that the adapter end of the chuck is to large for the shaft or is it to small? If it is to large you may want to find some copper tube that will fit the motor shaft and the adapter and use it as a bushing. Find some longer set screws for the adapter check out this site it may help you out http://members.tripod.com/bobgreiner/id50.htm . Good Luck! Yesiree Sar Sir I like the looks of that brass insert, I'm gonna try that. Thanks mucho mucho
