I agree that it's not something I'd do on machinery I valued highly, but by the sounds of it this is an interim machine so he can make slightly better parts. Ah it's steel, it'll weld ;P well enough for this purpose anyway. | |

It's also not too likely that both pieces of the taper are made of an easily weldable steel, but they might be. | |

The OP said the reason he couldn't use it is because the chuck is held on by a Jacob's taper which can't take lateral load and could fly off. Solution: weld chuck to taper so it won't come off while ensuring it's still cocentric (or as cocentric as it ever was) | |
