I've got a Walker Turner 15" bench drill press with a 1/2" chuck. My
problem comes when I want to drill a small hole; the chuck 'fingers'
will not contract far enough to grab the small drill bits. Is this the
way the chuck is supposed to work (could be a defective unit since I got
it 'well' used by the previous DPO; the shaft was bent) or do I need a
smaller chuck to chuck into the larger chuck??
