If you're talking about the threads for the small screw that goes through
the center of the bottom of the chuck and into the end of the arbor, I
don't know what the thread size is, but every drill I've ever seen uses
a left-hand thread there.


That's so the chuck doesn't unscrew when you're running the drill in
reverse.


No kidding? Really? You think so?
