Is it possible to use a drill vise with this unit? I want to use it to enlarge holes in small pieces of stainless steel items that need to be stable.

Yes the base is slotted. May require some tooling depending on what vise you are attaching.

Yes you can. I have a small machine vise I use with mine to insure that I am drilling 90 degrees a such. Works just fine you can adjust the head height to accommodate just about any vise.

No. You cant use drill bits. Just the drivers that come with it or similar drivers.

Hi, it's not made to drill little holes but if you do it slowly and they are small holes, you should be okay. Hope this helps.

I haven't tried, but I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to. The end is adaptable to different size drill bits.

The tool has standard 1/4" drive so you'd have to use some type of adapter to use a drill bit. It doesn't have a chuck mechanism.

nice little vise!!! its on my welding table and I use it all the time instead of the big 8 inch vise.. drilled two holes and that was sufficent to hold it secure....well worth the money...mine is bolted to a 3/8 steel table top....

I don't see why not. The drill has adequate power and stability. As for manufacturer recommendations, you would need to contact Dewalt directly for their direction. You can just search for their website and contact them there.

Yes it could, but it may not be very good for you. The vice is not aligned on center (mine wasn't anyway) which will make accurate holes difficult to drill. The bits themselves seem decent, but I haven't had a chance to try to push them through anything tougher than thin wood. A quality pin vice, such as those from Starrett may be more up your alley for doing fine jewelry work.

This might be overkill, or flat-out awkward, for this specific use. Based on a youtube search for "bead drilling" to see what others use, you'll likely want a light duty rotary tool or bead reamer for harder materials or a pin vise for things like polymer clay. You might consider a jeweler's push drill like this: Jeweler's Small 3-1/2" Push Drill for Micro Bits 0.20mm to 1.0mm

Unfortunately my tools and drill were stolen to thread my barrel so i haven't had the chance to install. However, i would wrap and clamp/vise the barrel as not to twist the stock. It should be near impossible to do structural damage to the barrel by clamping/vise. However, if you twist the stock it may cause vibrations affecting long range accuracy.

I don't see why not. You'll have to do your homework and be sure you measure twice and drill once. You have nearly 2" clearance from the top drawer for bolting down the vise to the top. Leave room near the edge for the nut to thread onto your bolts. Be sure to use hardened washers so as to not splinter the wood when tightening the bolts. (Tractor supply should have everything you need in hardware/bolts) don't cheap out on picking out a vise or you'll be sorry later. Large flat washers will require more clearance also. Lay those out on top to determine the clearance required then drill once you've made sure you've got it right. Don't rush, think it all out 1st? I don't see why not.

I would definitely NOT use this in a hand drill. That would be dangerous. There are other tools more appropriate and less expensive that can be used with a hand drill, though they are made for a specific size of hole. I think they are called hole saws.

You could but wouldn't be happy with the results, I would only recommend using with a drill press. A drill guide is another cheaper alternative but this looks like a good reason to buy your drill press.

Yes I use one and this vise works great!!just have to get it set up nice and square.

no way!, this is a hammer drill , i HIGHLY recommend against using this for screws. Use a smaller 3/8 power drill like this one PORTER-CABLE PC600D 6 Amp 3/8-Inch Variable Speed Drill However i always recommend using a cordless drill for installing/taking out screws. If your drill does not have enough power it may seem that way for other reasons, maybe the batteries are not good, or maybe your screws are big and need to be pilot drilled first.

Some of the larger bits in this set may be used carefully in a handheld power drill, but certainly the tinier ones will snap off instantly. A drill press (or milling machine) is the best bet for getting the most out of the entire set. Also, screws are hardened steel and are very hard to drill through. I fear the combination of handheld drill along with the hardness of the target will lead to poor results. Look to "screw extractors" for a better system.

A full-sized vise can be mounted to this bench, but the bench is a little too light-weight to do heavy duty work on it. It's sturdy and stable, but not made of a thick iron, which you may need it you're wanting something for more heavy-duty type projects.
