Primarily for using the chuck in the headstock (I do at times for various reasons) and a drawbar can be used in the TS - sometimes a deep drill bit can pull the chuck out when retracting. You can hold it by hand or use a drawbar.I'm curious, why with a draw bar? I've never had a worry of mine falling out.
True. I use a small knob, 1-1/2” dia to tighten the drawbar for this reason. It does not need to he-manned, simply snugged up - the all thread is not going to stretch. Its there only to prevent the taper from coming out.Drawbars are good but I've had to remove things that were installed with the overenthusiastic use of one. If the chuck, collet,etc, can't be removed with a drift or by backing off the drawbar, be careful how far you tighten it. I hate pounding on bearings.
