I don't think so. The dimensions aren't that close. I haven't thought along those lines, but it's worth considering. I'm sure I'd have to make a new nut too, but that's not a big deal. The chuck is hardened, so I'd have to grind it, and if it's only case hardened, that would ruin it. I'll definitely look at that angle though. Thanks for the suggestion. Or maybe I could sleeve it down then grind it......the wheels are turning. Can't you hear the clanking?
