could I use it to place a 1/2 bit in a 3/8 mandrel ?

If it is a pure 1/2" bit, that is to say the whole shank is 1/2" then : No. If the 1/2" bit is reduced to <3/8" shank, a common case, then: yes.

Yes, but only if it had a narrowed shank. This works fine but the old fashioned chuck key is a pain and obviously it can't be taped to the cord like the old days. They can also be purchased at a big box store for less money. I use Amazon a lot because I'm 45 miles from a Home Depot.

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

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.

Yes you can, you will just need to make sure you have the smaller collet in the dremel to fit the bit. Or you can get one of the mini drill chucks.

Yes you can... Didnt figure it out but eventually saw the adjuster nut next to where you insert the bit

I use it with a 3/8" chuck Bosch cordless drill. So both answers are correct. Anything that a 3/8" can handle a 1/2" can too...

Don't think the shank will fit a 3/8" chuck. This unit is designed to be used with 1/2" chuck. Additionally, depending on the material you are cutting you sould be using an 18-volt drill to achieve maximum power under pressure.

You could, with a very small electric drill. My son does but remember, the bits (etc) are not made for this type of use. One has to be very careful. I hope that helps.

You must first remove the 3/8 chuck, and then check the threads, If the threads are the same, it will work. However the power of the 3/8 drill motor is not sufficient to use the larger bits, only a few will work without straining the drill, causing it to overheat, and possibly damaging your drill.

Any standard bit will work in this. It comes with a special tool to take bits on and off.

I don't remember the bit size, but as a general rule, just start small. :-)

Yes I don't see why it wouldn't work. 3/8 chain is 3/8 chain. I personally have a husq. But I would be willing to take this little risk

Yes I use it with my craftsman 19.2V drill works like a champ. Yes 3/8 works.

Certainly can. This is a very versatile tool. If drilling 1/4" or thicker recommend using cutting oil for best results and saving your bits.

Yes, the drill bit portion of this assembly is made for a 3/8" chuck or larger.

Absolutely it can be done one of 2 ways. Buy the accessory pack that has has the the drill bits with the 1\4inch hex shaped shank that fit right into the driver or go buy one of the drill bit adapter from lowes, home depot, harbor, freight or northern tool it has the 1\4 inch shank so you can plug it straight the driver and it give you the availability to use up to a 3\8 bits but most places sell a package of the drill bits with the shank on them since so many perfer to the the quick attach and detach ability of drivers instead of drills.

There are different drill bit packagesyou can buy. This will fit most anything youd use. 3/8 is how wide the drill will open to fit bits. By normal they mean your standard bits. So this will fit most of them. Youhave to get pretty big to not fit this which honestly youd need amore powerful drill for those applications anyhow. Hope this helps but if not take a trip to your local Lowes or what have you & ask them what bits & drills will fit a 3/8 driver. You will see it is your standard stuff

yes, you'll have to drill the current 3/8" holes out to 1/2". it took me more time to find and chuck up my bit than to drill the holes.

They can be used in any tool that can hold an 1/8" bit or equivalent. If you press too hard you will wallow out the hole and they will become ineffective.
