    Christine, The chuck on your drill is friction fitted onto a tapered
    spindle which is a size 33 - this is just a measure of the diameter
    and amount of taper of the spindle. If you can get the old one off
    and take it with you to a supply house they can most likely match it
    up for you if they are not familiar with the nomenclature for sizing
    the spindles. Another option, which I use, is to purchase a miniature
    Jacobs chuck which is chucked into the drill press chuck. This allows
    me to use the smaller size drills with accuracy and if I do need to
    use the orginal chuck for something larger I can easily remove the
    mini chuck. I'm not sure where I originally purchased mine as it has
    been a while, but I think it may have been Contenti's or maybe
    Micromark. Best, Jim DeRosa -- James DeRosa, Jr. 140 Clifton Drive
