Works well with a Wen 4212T drill press and a Wen DPA167H JT33 keyless chuck using the stock arbor the drill press came with.

I ordered these Sunday afternoon and they arrived before noon Monday!They're perfect for removing my Jacobs 33 chucks from my drill presses. Tip: Use a clamp the drive the two wedges together. It's much more effective than trying to beat on them.

I used this wedge set to remove a WEN keyless chuck from a new WEN 4212T drill press. With just a few taps, the chuck released from the spindle. My opinion is that the wedge set is pretty expensive for what it is but it did get the job done. I suppose this is a specialty tool that is not mass produced/sold and that may account for the costs.

I purchased this to change the drill head of WEN 4212T drill press. Some of the reviews said this was too big for JT33, some said it worked for them. The wedge opens about 0.72 and the exposed portion of the JT33 is about 0.62. For it to pull anything out from the quill, it needs to: 1. Open wider than the exposed JT33 (0.62 in this case), 2. Can't open wider than the drill head or the quill (more than 1 in this case), 3. Thin enough to fit in between the drill head and the quill and thick enough to separate them when wedged. It satisfied all 3 conditions but I wasn't sure if it will separate the drill head from the arbor or the arbor from the quill. It did separate the drill head from the arbor, which was what I wanted. If it pull the drill head and the arbor out together, then I think it won't work for separating the drill head from the JT33 2MT (0.7 dia) arbor. Maybe that is why the reviews are not consistent?

Is your chuck stuck as mine was? These will pop it loose.

Buy these instead of trying to improvise and possibly hurting yourself.

Almost too easy. I didn't use a hammer or mallet for this. Instead I used a clamp and as I slowly tightened the clamp against the wedges the chuck simply dropped into a small box filled with rags to cushion the fall. Made me feel like I cheated or something. This worked so well I wanted to do it again..

This worked for removing a drill press chuck with JT33 taper (Jacobs). I mounted the old one with red loctite (too string, never again). A little heat and the correct wedges did the job.

I had a chuck that I wanted to move from an R-8 arbor to a TTS arbor. These worked perfectly and quickly.

I don't have much to say, except they removed my chuck from the adapter just fine. Well made.

I see the poor reviews for this product, but from what I can gather in their reviews they are trying to slip one of these wedges over a groove they see on their chuck shaft and then pry with them. You do not use these wedges to pry anything and the groove you are seeing on the shaft is not where these fit.You take each of the wedges and drive them from opposite sides TOGETHER. They should form an even surface between the chuck and the drill press. You are using these wedges as a pair to form an even lift. Tapping them TOGETHER from each side will spread them farther apart and release the chuck easily from the shaft. There is is no prying going on. You are not trying to slip them on the shaft slot in the center.

Best way to remove a chuck properly from a tapered shaft. Pickle forks are often too thick. Two small hammers or some large channellocks and these wedges will pop off a chuck easily and without strain on bearings. These are good steel with a glossy black oxide finish. Correct size for a JT33 and some others. If you're ever in doubt, look up a taper dimension chart (Travers Tool and several other online hosts for this). Genuine Jacobs, part 13269 (ordered from ATK Industrial).Quick measurements:Overall width: 1.257Overall length: 2.004Inside width: 0.740Inside length to bottom of arc: 1.502Base thickness: 0.167Tip thickness: /- 0.060
