    Why Hitachi B16RM chuck will not stay attached to spindle?
    • E
      Elijah MorenoAug 15, 2025
      If the chuck of your Hitachi Drill will not stay attached to the spindle and falls off during installation, there might be dirt, grease, or oil on the tapered inside surface of the chuck or on the spindle’s tapered surface. Clean the tapered surfaces of both the chuck and spindle using a household detergent to remove any contaminants.

      Your Hitachi Drill bit may be burning due to several reasons. It could be that the speed is incorrect, the chips are not coming out of the hole, or the drill bit is dull. Try changing the speed, retracting the drill frequently to clear chips, or resharpening the drill bit.

      If you're experiencing run out of the drill bit point, resulting in a drilled hole that is not round with your Hitachi Drill, it could be due to hand grain in wood or lengths of cutting flutes and/or angles not equal, or a bent drill bit.
