1/2" bits in a 3/8" chuck?
Is there any sort of 1/2" chuck that you can chuck into a 3/8" chuck
so you can use half inch drill bits with your 3/8" drill? JP ************ chuckling |

1/2" bits in a 3/8" chuck?
You can remove your 3/8 chuck and buy a 1/2 that fits the same
thread pattern. A good hardware store should have ii. You could also buy the same 1/2 chuck and install it on a bolt and saw off the head to chuck in your 3/8. The 3/8 spindle should be a 3/8-24 thread. The 1/2 spindle should be a 1/2-20. They also make 1/2 chuck with a 3/8-24 thread. -- ______________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . . .

JP ************ chuckling There are 1/2" drills which are stepped down to fit 3/8" chucks. I've had a Craftsman set from the mid 70's with just that on the 1/2 drill. Try www.use-enco.com or www.mcmaster.com for specialty items such as this. |

JP ************ chuckling You can buy a Makita 9/16" hammer drill, keyless (Makita HP1501K) for about 69.00 on line. I got one free with my LS1013 SCMS, (I wouldn't have bought one 'cuz I already had a 1/2" Milwaukee, but what the hey...it was free.) and now it is the most used drill in my shop. (The cordless ones seem to always hide in boxes or bags somewhere.... the cord actually serves as a locator as well.G) Lots of balls, will run at high speeds and just a nice grip too. r |

I've got a 1/2" drill. What I was thinking of doing was using a drill
guide like LV et al sell. But they only have 3/8" chucks on them. The 3/4" LV brad point bit I have is 1/2" shanked, and that's the one I'd wanted to use. It's not a big deal, I just used a 3/4" forstner bit instead. JP |

JP ************ chuckling Just buy the bit that will fit. I mount up to 1/2" bits in my 3/8" chuck all the time. Many bits larger than 3/8" are made with 3/8" shanks. |
