Thanks for this video! I just bought a 2700 model Beaver drill press and, although my chuck appears to be in good shape, it's very helpful to know how to remove it if necessary. I have the same model jointer and tablesaw that you have. They belonged to my father who used them in his carpentry and homebuilding business (in Guelph!). The still work perfectly. A few years ago, I found a Beaver bandsaw online and was able to purchase it for a good price. These tools are well designed, well made and just a pleasure to use. Thanks again!
you actually dont need that threaded sleeve on the chuck, its there so that you can push the chuck off the taper shaft by unscrewing it. its there for convince. on other older drill presses, this sleeve is there but not integrated with the chuck, an example is the walker turner 900 series drill press. but glad you have found the chuck and it looks good on the machine
You are correct, it is for mushing chuck out. But it is also there to keep chuck on when sideways forces are applied, like when using sanding rollers. Thanks for watching.

Glad to know you also have a Beaver lodge! These cast iron machines are made like a tank to last for ever if we’ll kept.
