Joe Wilkinson puts a strong magnet in a convenient place on his drill press and
sticks his chuck key to magnet when he's done and always knows where his
chuck key is.
If you are always misplacing the chuck key to your drill press. Fastened a
retractable key chain that's attached to the column of the drill press.
The key chain is held in place with an ordinary hose clamp. And it's connected to
the chuck key by means of a short dowel. A hole drilled in one end of the dowel
accepts the handle of the chuck key. ( use epoxy to hold it in place.) An eye
hook is screwed into the opposite end of the dowel. Now the eye hook is simply
slipped onto the ring at the end of the key chain
