Meddings Drill Tru

[JandK]

I need a replacement chuck key for a Meddings Drill Tru bench drill, can anyone point me in the right direction please?

What sort of chuck does it have?
It may have been changed in its life
if its a jacobs brand there willl be a number on it from then on search for key for a jacobs 32 or whatever
if no markings then you need to measure the pilot hole and search by that remember it will be imperial

Thanks Ian.
I am not sure if it is the original chuck or not on the chuck is the following: CVA, Made in England, 3T oap or could be dap, 0 - 1/2

Google for CVA chucks revealed the following:-

http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/C._V._A._Jigs_Moulds_and_Tools Seems CVA might still be in business in Brighton or were upto 2012 but possibly named FMT

Also check with lathers .co.uk as CVA made small lathes and enginneering tools eg chucks

Mine's a CVA chuck. The key's a Rohm S3 5/16th/ 8mm 12 teeth.
