I have several of these Asian keyless chucks and they all suffer the same problem - they are very stiff to operate.
I mentioned this to the guy from RDG where I had bought at least one of them. He wasnt surprised and said to free them off all you had to do was loosen the collar off at the back end of the chuck by undoing the clamping grub screw and backing off the collar slightly. It worked a treat. Great!
However - I have got one where the collar at the back does not have a clamping grub screw. What do I do?
I don't think corrosion is the cause of the stiffness as all of my chucks live in conditions where corrosion is not a problem.
