Default Drill attachment in place of chuck?

John Doe fired this volley in news:mi3ito

Or how to get it in there.


I'm not sure I follow that. Are you talking about "accessories" or
chucks? If chucks, you just open the jaws and stick the screw in.

Unless you have an ulterior motive (like NOT using it as a hand drill),
it's kind of a fools' errand to look for 'accessories' for the threaded
spindle nose. There just aren't many. Of all of them, a pair of 1/4"
and 1/2" collets would be the most useful, because you could stick in any
1/2" or 1/4" shafted item and use it without the length penalty of a
chuck.

Any drill manufacturer that uses threaded-on chucks will also have the
left-hand screws available inexpensively. Even AirGas corp carries them
in several sizes in their walk-in stores.
