is it normal for the chuck to lock so that the bit wont spin when the drill is inactive? or does that mean my gearbox is ceased?

Not sure if I am understanding your question correctly. What I did do is grab the drill and I was able to turn the chuck without pulling the trigger or powering up the drill. I hope this helps.

As the other 2 responses point out there is a release on the bit holder. It's the small area of jimping (grooves) cut into the back of the holder. It doesn't move much but you do have to hold it down to remove the bit.

No I don't believed so, the bit is a slipped on type and when it goes in it need to be locked via the grooves at the top of the bit. there is no key to lock the smooth round shank. it is a slipped in slipped out system by pressing down/pulling down the front of the drill to allow the bit to go in or come out.

If you re-install the chuck onto your Dremel threaded spindle, (righty tighty, lefty loosey), you will begin to see the chuck close. It was never addressed in the instructions, I found this out by accident. When removing the chuck from the Dremel tool, while the chuck is open, place a bit of any type into the open jaws, then loosely hold the bit in the jaws while you unscrew the chuck from the dremel.

not mine. My drill lasted about a week. it switches to hammer drill when you don't want it to.

Almost all Dewalt battery powered drills( and others) will sound off 1 or 2 knocks when stopping due to the braking power of the DC motor. let off of the trigger smoe slowly and the knock should disapear. If not you may wish to exchange it if it is new. or have it checked if under warrenty.

If you look at the pic of the driver, the black collar slides fwd and back to lock the bit in. Additionally it comes with a bit that locks into the driver, that just has a magnetic tip to hold regular bits that don't have the little indentation.... So I think I boil it down for you by saying....... yes it locks bits that have the indentation/ground down spot on them and if it's s smooth quarter inch hex bit it doesn't lock them. Hope this helps..

My drill does this when stopping from speeds 2 and 3. I believe it is because of the heaving gearing.

No. At least on my unit. But judicious use of tape seems to help. The whole assembly is a little wobbly. You have to hold the chuck at slow speed until the bit is embedded. Quick change bits are not that stable. I enjoy it anyway. Tom

You do not need a chuck on this drill. Read the booklet that came with your drill. Grip the drill in front (behind where you put the bit or drill bit in) and pull the trigger. Put the drive in reverse to tight or loosen.

The chuck only opens and closes while installed on the dremel threaded spindle. Re-install the chuck. Screw it down as far as it will go while depressing the button stop. To open the chuck keep the button stop depressed and unscrew. The chuck will open.

Sounds like a design flaw. The square end of the drill bits should fit snugly inside the drill.

Sounds like grit, perhaps sand got inside. Maybe the drill was dropped on a hard surface and landing on the chuck. VM

The drill is chuckless. Simply hold the end and allow the drill to tighten. Put it in reverse to remove bits. Best cordless drill I ever had. I has tremendous torque.

are you using the right bit at the right speed? Is it sharp? If the motor was running prior to drilling, then you are doing something wrong. The only problem I've had with this drill press is the morse taper slipping.

As you turn the chuck with a bit in it you can feel it click as tightens. The harder you turn it the tighter it gets & it doesn't back up.

You must tighten the chuck with two hands instead of using one hand on the chuck and one on the trigger. Like how you would tighten it if you had a dead battery.
