how big is the chuck
2010612
The manual for my machine says it will take up to a 5/8" shank. The quill has a MT2 taper, so you can use a variety of alternatives - I have a collet chuck, an arbor, and a smaller Jacobs chuck that will fit the machine also.

According to the 18-900L manual it says "Use drill bits with a shank of 5/8" or less in diameter." So, I guess that makes it a 5/8" chuck.

It's big - at least a half an inch. I'd have to check the manual to be sure. Isn't the chuck size mentioned in the "Specifications" tab on the the website?

The largest drill size in the spec's is 1/4" or 6mm. That size is really too large for the structure of the machine. The spindle runs very true with less than 0.0001" total indicated runout and I tested the chuck with 3 sizes of drill [minimum, 1/8" and 1/4"] and the TIR for all was 0.0032" which is VERY good for a small Jacobs type chuck.

the chuck is universal, you need to know the spindle size for correct adapter.

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

The chuck size is 1/2 inch. Here's a more comprehensive list of features that I got from another web site:*Laser X2 2-Beam Laser for precise hole alignment*Depth Adjustment System for easy depth control*Variable Speed Gearing-5 speed system for different material types*1/2" Keyed Chuck to accept large diameter bits designed for woodworking and cutting*Adjustable Depth Stop for accurate measurements and repetitive drilling*0-45 degree tilting square work surface for precise and accurate drilling*Bump-off Switch for added safety

While I'm not sure of the exact diameter, The base is too large to fit in either the standard or adjustable chuck for a dremel

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.

The chuck holds 1/16 inch (0,0625) drills securely. So, I suppose that a 2.3 mm (0.23cm or 0.091 inch) drill bit should be held securely by the chuck.

Can't really answer you question. This chuck fits a tapered shaft with a taper of maybe 11/16" x 5/8 " over maybe 1-1/2" shaft length

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.

The tap threaded section is 1 3/4 inches in length and the total tap length is 3 5/8 inches. The tap length to the base of where you chuck it is 3 inches.

the chuck shaft is tapered; once it's put it, tap it lightly with a dead-blow mallet and it should be fine. I have had no trouble with it slipping.

Good Question. The chuck is labled .6mm to 6.5mm from the factory. In all honesty, I probably would not use it above 4mm because of power. I am using it to drill #60 holes and 1/16th holes in 1/4 inch lucite and plexiglass and it works VERY well for my purpose. The variable speed is quite effective for my purpose. I use the lowest drill speeds. Tim

The length it will hold will be dependant upon what chucks you have in the head and tail stock. The bulkier the chucks, the shorter the length it will handle. I'd say it will hold 12" lengths unless your chucks are sizable. I wouldn't try more than 4" width stock unless it was short. Although the lathe may hold the stock, it would be too much for the motor. The intended purpose of this lathe is to make small things like ink pens, Christmas ornaments, small toys like tops or yo-yo's and tool handles etc. If you want to mount 12" X 8" stock you should be looking at full sized lathes.

It's about the size of a medium to large mens tool b o x .I don't have the measurements as I gave this as a gift to a friend.it holds a lot of tools! My friend loves it!

The chuck opens up to a maximum diameter of 3/8-in. Your 1/2-in bit would have to have a reduced shank diameter. It is pretty easy to find larger bits with a 3/8-in shank diameter.
