what size is the chuck? I need something I can put a 1/2 inch drill bit in.

I honestly don't know. I use the bits that came with it. However, I do think that a 1/2 inch drill bit is included.

You can use any drill bit that has a 1/4" hex shank. Amazon has many different brands for sale. Go to the Amazon search engine, scroll down to tools & home improvement. Key in (drill bits with 1/4" shank) and a wide selection of bits will come up. Any questions, you can contact Dewalt at 800 4dewalt. Good luck

Electrical Residential Service is correct, you'll need a 1/2" chuck to use the largest two bits. A 3/8" chuck will be okay for the smallest 6 bits, and as the others say, the make of the drill used is not relevant.

I can't answer that question , but don't buy the drill. The chuck doesn't grab the bit. I am a builder and know my drills.

I recently purchases this chuck. If my memory serves me right, this is a 1/2" 20 thread. If your drill press has the same size and threads it will fit.

I think that a 1/4" bit will fit into the chuck, but the motor doesn't have the torque to push it through anything harder than wax. This machine is a sweet running little drill press, but it is seriously lacking torque. It is only for drilling very small holes in light or thin material. It took me several minutes to drill a 1/8" hole in 1/4" aluminum. Good machine for what it's made for.

Will work fine with either size chuck. I prefer to use compact lightweight 3/8" cordless drills but as others have said, if the shank fits a 3/8" chuck, it'll certainly fit a 1/2" chuck.

yes anything with standard chuck should work if the chuck is 3/8 some larger bits might not fit! 1/2 bits probably wont fit!

I have a standard household type cordless drill. It's 3/8 chuck. It didn't work, and so I either had to return it or buy a new drill. I didn't feel like buying a new drill. I returned it and I'll get something smaller. Unless you are sure you have a heavy-duty type drill, check it before you order this.

Any standard sized drill bit. If it's too small for the chuck to hold, it's too small to be putting in a drill with this much power and weight, you'll break the bit if you cough. :)

the shaft you need to connect it to will go in any drill type chuck that can hold a bit , but you have to buy the quick release shaft to use it

I used a 1/2 inch diamond drill bit (it's not like a normal bit, it's hollow in the middle), you can purchase at your local home improvement store. There are videos that will show you the procedure.I just saw the other comments, those are wrong. I just checked my drill bit to make sure, it is 1/2 inch. DON'T use anything bigger or you will have a giant hole in your nice counter tops.

It has a Jacobs style chuck that goes down to zero size...I did chuck up a #60 drill bit, slightly over 1mm about the diameter of a paper clip with no problems, however with drill bits this small, this drill is too big, that small of a bit is better suited for the hand held tools as the Dremil style...

the bit is just slightly larger than the size of screw you are drilling for. If you space is tight, your chuck will probably be your biggest issue

I can not find a size listed on the drill bit. Sorry for not being any help.

Yeah. The size of your chuck is the upper limit of what size shaft it can handle. So that chuck can handle anything smaller than 1/2".
