[modeleng] Releasing taper

Thankyou, Ron, Jeff and John.
   
  A Copper hammer I must obtain !
   
  I use either 3-in-1 or the hydraulic oil I use in lieu of "Nutto" on the 
ML10, to protect tooling from rust.  The advantage of WD40 in releasing the 
taper is, I suppose, its penetrative quality.
   
  I too use a brass rod for poking out the Jacobs chuck MT2.
   
  Next time I have to release the milling chuck taper, I shall use WD40 first 
and let it penetrate for five minutes before tapping.
   
  The use of cigarette papers to prevent slipping I shall bear in mind.  I 
gather that they are also useful for edge finding, which I am about to do, but 
more of that anon when I have had another go at drilling holes accurately......
