What size diamond tip core drill bit should I use to install this? Any recs on available drill bits through amazon would be appreciated.

I used a standard 3/4 hole saw that you can pick up at any lowes or home depot for about 10 bucks, The diamond drill is overkill unless you are going to mount it in a glass container. Hope this help save you a buck or two!!!

7/8" will be perfect - (1 inch would work, but will leave a lot more space around the beer shank than you might want.)

I used 1'' and 7/8'' and found that the 1 inch is the way to go..The 7/8'' way the exact size of the shaft and it essentially screwed it self in and took some muscle to do so. I used 1'' on my next 3 taps installed and the shank fell right in and tightened up nicely!!

The drill bits are not marked for diameter size in any way. Not is the diameter sizes marked on the packaging. I just go by a visual for size needed.

You'll have to make a trip to Ace and get a set of standard drill bits..... shud be around $10-$15 ...... or the real cheapy little set for around $5

I also would like to use a 4-jawed chuck so please post back what you have learned. I don't know what will fit my unit as I've only done some small, spindle projects. All the Best.

I haven't looked for other bits yet, but I would think someplace like Home Depot or Lowes would carry them. I have a set of longer bits that came in a gunsmithing screwdriver set made by Wheeler Engineering, I believe I got it from Midwayusa for $20 when it was on sale-they work just fine. Good luck!

These are for masonry/concrete drilling. They are carbide insert bits. You need HSS or Cobalt (preferable) for hard metal such as carbon steel or stainless. Anneal the metal before drilling if possible and heat treat afterwards.

I used a 1/8 inch bit. Maxxair website should list that, plus it is listed in instructions. Very easy.

I have the 5/8" dia x 10" long bit. It has a turned shaft that appears to be right at 1/2" dia...perhaps even a 32'nd less or so. This item is for a common/std "hammer drill" -- NOT the SDS series. There are NO FLATS on the shank. Hope this helps. Mel in Montana

a diamond core bit works best, you can google the subject or view it on Youtube

If you buy the bit adapter you can use standard small shank SDS bits. This unit is made for the larger shank bits. I have the adapter but I also use both sizes if bits. It is a great hammer drill. I am a General Contractor and it is a great addition to our work.

Keep in mind that the chuck (the part that holds the drill bit) is only 0.25 inches. So you'll have to have a drill bit with a 0.25 inch shank or smaller. Also, the limited height adjustment means you can't use a very long bit. I purchased the following drill press (from a different retail chain) and it accepts larger bits, has a greater throw, and a more powerful motor. It is much heavier and a good bit larger, but I find the trade-offs are worth it. POWERTEC DP801 Baby Drill Press, 5-Speed

With the appropriate bit, diamond tip is best, and coolant, it should work well.

Any bit set that has 1/4-inch hex would work for this - Im sure Black & Decker also sells bit sets. Keep in mind that this works better as a screw driver than a drill so not recommended to find drill bits larger than 3/16".

I goofed up....sorry. What I should have asked is, where do I get a diamond blade of 5 1/2 " or ( slightly) smaller for cutting tile or stone that has a a 10 MM arbor ?Thanks in advance

I have only had luck using DeWalt bits. I tried some RotoZip bits but they are too big. I haven't tried anything else, so someone but have had better luck with some other bit.

I believe this will work using 1/4" dovetail bits, providing you have the correct bushing. I always use 1/2" bits for this because they are much less likely to experience harmonic vibration (chatter) because of the larger diameter shaft. This is an excellent dovetail jig which I am certain will provide you with perfect dovetails for many year.

I used as a replacement for existing knobs so a drill bit wasn't needed. Not knowing the size of drill bits, I can only say the hole needed is the same as other knobs. Sorry I cannot be more helpful.
