Is there a way to convert the chuck to 1/4 or 3/8 inch?

I really don't understand the question? Why would you want to put on a smaller chuck? The existing 1/2" chuck goes from 0 to 1/2 inch. You can always buy a 1/4 or 3/8 chuck with a .250 hex mount and simply insert it into the jaws of the existing chuck. Search AMAZON and look at this item: "Neiko 20754A 3/8-Inch Conversion Chuck".

3/8" of an inch is 10mm which is the size of the shank on this item which goes into the drill chuck so it would be tight . I use this on my cordless drill it's a great little tool for the garden, hope this helps.

it is not a chuck, it takes 1/4" hex. To drill, you need that type of bit. It is a really well made and thought out item.

Unscrew (if possible) the 1/4-inch bit and this should expose an 1/8-inch bit. Otherwise, if you cannot unscrew the bigger bit, you can buy a 1/4-inch to 1/8-inch bit from any electronics store.

To answer that question for ANY available drill bit or bit set on the market, you simply need to know the max chuck size for your drill and the shank size of the drill bit. For example if you're drill has a max chuck size of 3/8" then you know that it can accept bits with shanks that are 3/8" or SMALLER. I believe this set is 1/4" shank (from what I get from the limited info in the listing). Since 1/4" is SMALLER than 3/8" (1/4" = 2/8"...2 is smaller than 3) it should fit.

Yes it will fit a 3/8" drill chuck but the shaft of the auger is round where it should be hexagonal since the torque created by the three in h auger will cause the shaft to slip in the chuck. Considered not fit for purpose and returned for refund.

The chuck comes with a 1 1/2" thread. you will need a 1 1/2X1 1/4 inch adapter(insert). 1-1/4"X8TPI RH UNS Standard Thread" sells for about $26.00.

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!

The 3/8" designates the diameter of the chuck, or the place you insert the drill bit. This size will accomodate bits from 1/16" up to 3/8" and everything in between. You can generally buy a group of from 7 to 10 bits in one pack and they generally run 1/16" to 3/8". You can also get special bits that will fit a 3/8" chuck but can drill larger size holes, such as up to a half inch...even larger. Welcome to the "do it yourself" world.

Hi Joe,This unit uses a 1/4" shank and no bigger than a 1-3/8" diameter cutting bit.

No. It is < 3/8" by a tad(metric) but I wouldn't give it up for anything. It's my go to drill.

3/8 chain takes a 7/32 carbide cutter...same as the equivalent in a file....

Depends on your spindle threads. My chuck came as 1" 8tpi. It also came with a 3/4" adapter

No because the end of the bit that fits in the drill needs to be the exact size and shape of the slot on the drill. There is no way to adjust the size of the slot like on a standard drill.

You have to buy an insert for it to fit the 1" x 8tpi. Below is the link: http://www.amazon.com/8TPI-INSERT-NOVA-CHUCKS-Common/dp/B003A0B72M/ref=pd_sim_hi_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=15RQ8PZG2RQZVQ2QR1JK

I might go with the keyless chuck version by Neiko: http://www.amazon.com/Neiko-20753A-4-Inch-Keyless-Conversion/dp/B007TCHKXW/ref=pd_bxgy_hi_text_y#productDetails

No, the jaw opening is roughly the same as a 3/8" Jacob's chuck. Also the 1/4" hex base isn't easily held in a 3/8" mandrel
