Any difference in physical sizes between the Milwaukee 1/4" and 3/8" getting into tight spaces?

Sockets are smaller, letting you get into tighter areas. No difference in tool size.

The opening on mine are pretty close to 7/8". If you want to easily be able to take it off I would plan for 3/4" or a 5/8".

I wouldn't try much over 3/4". I dont have it near by to actually measure the max opening.

3/8" is the norm for everything. 1/2" is what we use for taking of truck tires. I'd go with the 3/8" if he bolts you sre working with are not larger than an inch or more

I just measured mine to make sure and it is 1 3/8", I think it may have shrunk or stretched a bit over the almost two years I've used it as I seem to remember it being 1 1/2" when it was new. This is not to say that they're all the same. Mine carries quite a load but has held up well.

The 1" x 8 is 0.525 across the flats. Obviously, you will need one to open a bi more. I use my tap in. Wood lathe, meaning that the part is chucked and the head stock locked. The tap is set in position to start and the point of the tail stock pressed into the centering hole on the flats end of the tap. I then use an adjustable crescent wrench to turn the tap while advancing the tail stock to feed and keep pressure on the tap. This is a bit of a dance as my tail stock is 10 TPI and the tap is 8 TPI.JUST DOUBLE CHECK THAT YOU DON't REALLY WANT A 1.250 x 8 TPI TAP!!

The spindle we provide uses a 3-jaw chuck rated for up to 1/8" shank end mills. It in fact opens slightly larger. To use a 1/4" end mill on our system you would either use a 1/4" end mill that has a 1/8" shank (you can get large end mills with small shanks, not sure of available dimensions or ratings) or use a different spindle that can accommodate a larger diameter bit. You can always generate the required tool path with a 1/8" end mill specified and have the 1/8" end mill do the work the 1/4" dia unit would have done and export that GCode for use on our standard system. Hope this helps.

You would need to drill it out. 6.4mm is equivalent to 1/4 inch. 1/8 inch would be 3.1 to 3.2 mm.

Kurt, 3/8" is closer to 9.5mm. I use scope stops, not the pin/scope stop arrangement, and treat 3/8" and 11mm scope rings as the same. RonRegards,Ron

Yes, it has the 1/4" quick change bit holder. If you want the 3/8" chuck, you will need to look at the other model #.

I agree with the previous answer. I measure 3/8" also. You could probably file out a little more clearance and the switch would work just fine.

That sounds about right. It's long for a 3/8" drive compared to a clicker type wrench for sure. What that length gets you is pretty fine control over the torque without bearing down hard. Also it goes pretty high for a 3/8" drive so again you need some leverage to be able to drive those torques without resorting to force which may overshoot the target. The downside of course is it may not fit into tight places, to their credit I seem to remember the ratchet steps being pretty fine compared to my cheapie Pittsburgh clicker type ones, 72 teeth the Eastwood is if I remember right.

It is 7/16". It could probably squeeze into a slot 3/8" wide but that would be the absolute smallest. Pretty certain you won't be able to fit it in 1/4".

! inch but you can get reducer couplings that go from 1 inch to 3/4 or 1/2. Best if you use 1 inch in though.

When I measure mine, I read it as closer to 6-3/4" than 6-1/2 - certainly not 8-1/2

I've heard of people using both these types of connectors. Personally I get good results with the 1/4" and they're generally less messy though bulkier. The kind with right-angle plugs can save space when that's an issue.

I have the Milwaukee 5625 installed in my router lift and the height from the plate to the bottom of the posts is 10 3/8. I think the Milwaukee and Porter Cable are nearly the same size
