I tried moving the posts about my Rohm drill chuck to this thread but it didn't work. I didn't want to pollute the "Latest Delivery" thread with my drivel about the problems with the Rohm chuck so I started this thread.
That wasn't lacquer on the chuck. I soaked it in lacquer thinner all night and it didn't do much to remove it. It turns out to be some sort of plastic coating that was sprayed on. I had to take picks, a small screwdriver and tweezers to clean out the gear ring teeth of the plastic. I now have it soaking in acetone and hopefully in the morning the plastic will have dissolved. The plastic had gotten into the chuck jaws making it bind in certain spots so I'm hoping the acetone will remove it.
Oh, and I got a new chuck key from McMaster. It's a Jacobs brand. Much better key.
