You have to buy a separate mandrel to use this? What is the distance from flat hex shank side to side?

Yes, you need to get a mandrel. Bosch assumes users already have a mandrel for their other sizes. Don't know flats distance and am away from my shop.

The distance between holes is closer to one and a quarter (1 1/4") inches apart. I used a bushing and screwed it directly to the spindle shaft.

The company web sit may have that info. Meantime, flatten it in vise and maybe use a washer over it. A local machine shop would make a better one for a couple bucks

One of the tool holders it comes with is a parting tool holder. It is a screw clamp type: an allen head screw in the back of the holder tightens or loosens and angled wedge anchor at the front of the holder. Not sure of the height dimension of the parting tool slot on the holder, off the top of my head. I also purchased a 1/2" parting tool that works just fine.

It comes with a mediocre 1/4 " shank bit. I believe that the limiting factor is the width of the dovetail, not the size of the shank.

Try a "bolt & screw" store that specializes in fasteners. They can measure the thread size, length, and the type of tool it takes, and they might be able to special order it.

Be careful here, Ian.... I'm as sure as I can be that this purchase is ONLY the transformer and NOT the hand tool shown with it.... If you buy this box, you will also need to buy the 12 volt handpiece to get the set-up as shown. Maybe you knew that....... Yes, this handpiece will handle 1/8" shanks--- I'd recommend the Proxxon adjustable chuck so you don't have to change chucks when you change shank sizes. Hope this helps.

I had no problem attaching the shank. Beware. The problem for me was no feet generic or brand name would attach and be functional. Your dealer should provide a free replacement. See if they have the shank in an all metal version.

I had the same problem. My solution was my local Homedepot (or any hardware store) and purchased 1/4 thread rod and a union ( joins 2 threaded rods), cut it to fit and works great. Just take one of your end pieces with you and explain to an associate you dilemma and they will gladly set you up.

Granddad's answer is correct. Fortunately, I had a set of Irwin hex shank drill bits that fit so I didn't need a chuck on a hex shaft. I was drilling holes in the corner of bookcase for wiring, so a chuck wouldn't let me get as close as I wanted.

I can't tell you for sure...but if I had to guess...I would say "No". The issue is not the diameter/size of the shank, but how it's locking fit piece is shaped. Everything I have ever read says that the bits that go with this tool will NOT fit any other tools. It is a great tool and it all works fine..but it is not made of standard fit to work with other tools.

Unfortunately no. Look for a kit that is for 1/4" hex shank. I hope you find one with that kind of case (TI18). It really is very good!

The distance from the center of the drill bit to the edge of the adapter is approximately 7 mm to the sides. It is an excellent, quality tool. Hope this helps.

No. I measured it with a digital vernier caliper. These are the dimensions: Round shaft: 0.93", Hex (flat to flat) 1.18", Top round shaft 0.93", cut part is 1". Keep in mind the item is made in metric dimensions no english units. Also, remember that this is the old Hitachi standard and is different than the standard Hex sizes used today.

Just looked: there are small hexagonal nuts on each side (not bolts), and they are inset so that you'd need a tiny socket head to turn them. I'd say they're screwed onto a long pin with a little thread at each end. However, it is possible that the thread goes the whole length of the pin, in which case you'd need to saw a length off in order to make the unit more narrow.Oh, and the nuts are around 5/16 " diameter.
