[Jewelry making - Article 00293] - [Orchid] Drill press - drills don't clamp in exactly straight

[Freak Style]

========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm  ]========

    I have a brand new drill press which I actually bought before
    Christmas but only just opened and assembled on the weekend. It seems
    pretty good except for the fact that the drill wobbles around
    everywhere... I figure the drills don't clamp in exactly straight. I
    was going to buy a new chuck anyway - I want to get a keyless chuck
    for ease of use (and no having to hunt for the key after other people
    use it). Is it likely that a better (more expensive) chuck will fix
    that problem? In case you need to know it is a Ryobi drill - one of
    the fairly small ones. 

    Also, is there a recommended speed to set the drill at that will
    suit all of copper, brass and sterling silver. If I need to drill
    timber and steel at other times should I change speeds? 

Thanks,
RR Jackson
