If the drill press is like mine, its just a morse taper and you can remove
and reinstall the chuck in about ten seconds with the wedges.
I'd try a four way, just because its likely to work and is cheap, but I've
also got a drill press that took me _forever_ to find the proper size key
for. I still couldn't tell you what the actual chuck key spec is, I just
found a drillpress with a similar chuck at HF and ordered a replacement
key for it.
