Just purchased the HF X1 to help fitting frames, slides and barrels which the most I would be removing would be .010 in at least 3 passes (.004, .004 and .002) so it should work fine for me.....BUT I had this SAME EXACT question on how to get the chuck off to re-install the end mill holder and followed the recommendation to back out the spindle and tap couple times and it worked to perfection, chuck dropped right off!!!
Cool Forum it is 1 for 1!!
Thanks for the help
