I recently purchased a used "Guardian Power" bench top drill press but
the chuck key was missing. I thought "no problem, I'll pick one up at
the hardware store". Unfortunately none of the keys I have been able
to find work for this tool. Does anybody have any ideas on how to
contact this company or of a store with an extraordinarily large
selection of chuck keys?
Thanks for any assistance!

Those things use knockoff Jacobs chucks with JT33 tapers. Most use Jacobs keys,
some now and then use Rohm keys. It's most likely that it uses a Jacobs K3.
Home Depot as a few keys, and at least around here the local True Value has a
very large selection. Any kind of supplier like Grainger or MSC would have them
on hand.
