Hey guy's,
Well, the Rock finally came in the mail today, and I could not wait to put it on. I had previously removed the entire Z truck due to the fact I could not get the old CW chuck off.
I ordered the removal tool kit, along with my new chuck, and that was a good thing. I tried using a #3 square bit to take the old one off (as I have heard others have used), but it's way too small.
Since the Z truck was off already, I used a heat gun to heat the CW chuck, the 7/8" wrench, the square bit tool, and an air impact wrench. It only took a few minutes to get the old one off this way.
I installed the Rock, just as Ron's youtube video showed, with no problems.
Time for a test cut!
Being so excited, I forgot to use my ear plugs during the test cut. It was so much less noisy, I didn't even think about them until 5 minutes in.
I've also been having some issues with the flexshaft getting really hot, but not today. I can't say it's directly related to the new chuck, but I believe that it is. My circles were even round!
This new part may really make me like my machine again.
Thanks Ron!
Jeff
