Drill Chuck Silver B16 self-tightening 16 mm, model SV030

The Silver B16 self-tightening drill chuck model SV030 is a 16 mm capacity chuck designed for secure, keyless clamping of round and slightly tapered-shank tools. Intended for use with bench and hand drills that accept a B16 taper mounting, this chuck enables quick bit changes and steady clamping force for drilling, reaming and light milling operations in metal, wood and plastics. Its self-tightening mechanism increases grip as torque is applied, reducing slippage during standard workshop tasks.

Advantages

The self-tightening design provides improved grip under load without the need for a key, speeding up tool changes and reducing accessory requirements. With a 16 mm maximum capacity the chuck accommodates a wide range of common drill bits and accessories. Compatibility with B16 taper mounting makes it suitable for many bench and hand drills. The construction is intended to deliver consistent clamping force and stable runout for routine drilling and light machining tasks.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in metal, wood and plastic
• Reaming and light counterboring operations
• Quick bit changes in bench and hand drills with B16 taper
• Workshop and maintenance tasks requiring keyless chucks

Key specifications

• Maximum clamping capacity: 16 mm
• Mounting type: B16 taper
• Operation: self-tightening, keyless
• Compatible tool shank types: round and slightly tapered shanks
• Typical applications: drilling, reaming, light milling in metal, wood, plastics

How to use

Ensure the drill spindle and B16 taper are clean and free of debris before mounting the chuck. Press the chuck onto the drill spindle according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions to secure the taper fit. Insert the chosen drill bit into the jaws, then tighten the chuck by applying rotational torque in the tightening direction until the bit is firmly clamped. Verify secure seating of the bit and check for excessive runout before use. To release the bit, rotate the chuck in the loosening direction and withdraw the tool.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use appropriate cutting speeds and feed for the material being worked; check compatibility with your drill’s spindle and rated speed. Periodically inspect jaws and taper for wear or contamination and keep mating surfaces clean to maintain reliable clamping performance.
