My drill press has a slight wobble in the chuck that makes it difficult to line up the contact point of the bit and wood when it is rotating.I've checked to make sure there isn't anything stuck in the jaws and that the bits are true.What is the best way to adjust the chuck?
If you have a dial-indicator to check alignment, you can often fix it with a couple of well placed smacks, or worst case - popping the chuck out and re-sitting it to fix the alignment issues.
