I need a chuck key for a little pillar drill's chuck, it's a 6mm
capacity chuck. I'm not sure if I never had the chuck key or if I
lost it but I need a new one anyway.

So, how are chuck keys sized? Looking on eBay they *seem* to be for
1/4", 3/8" and so on chucks. Thus I would appear to need a chuck key
for a 1/4" chuck but I'd like to be certain.

They normally specify the diameter of the pilot (typically 3.2, 5, 6 or
8mm) and the pinion gear size - both diameter and number of teeth.

If unsure, you could by a combination key - they normally have 4 ends in
different sizes.

Thanks John, my little chuck has 6mm holes for the pilot. I guess I
can estimate the size of pinion and then at least I have an
approximation to what I want.

Yes, I saw them when I was searching initially, they get rather mixed
reviews.
