Is the included 1/2" bit have a 1/4" or 1/2" shank and will the jig accept 1/4" shank bits?

1/4" shank with a bearing on it to run against the jig. It can be changed to other 1/4" bits jig works well
2035848
It comes with a 1/4" shank bit, I am not sure if it accepts 1/2" shank bits, but I believe it is set up for the included 1/4" bit
2035849
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.

It accepts both. The unit is set to accept 1/2" shanks but it comes with an adapter that allows the use of 1/4" shanks.

The screws that came with my jig are 3/4" long and the jig is 3/8" off of the base, so a 1/2" base should work fine. The screw actually enters the base only about 3/8", the rest of the screw being housed in the base.

the jig is about an inch deep - standard bits work fine. The small diameter bits (which are shorter) will drill to about 2" of depth.

Mine came with a 1/4# and does not appear to be able to take the 1/2 inch or industrial bits. It is great for small projects but not larger or more commercialize work. I hope this helps.

It won't take 1/2" shank drill bits. It will only take 3/8 and smaller. They don't have to be Festool bits.

I have used this jig on 1/2" material without blocks. There was still about a 1/16 of an inch left in the jig clamp that could be tightened. So, I would say that 1/2" material is about as small as one can go without blocks.

Hi Joe,This unit uses a 1/4" shank and no bigger than a 1-3/8" diameter cutting bit.

I don't think so. The bits are smaller than 1/4. The bits that come with it work great. For the money this is a fantastic deal. I love mine.

It's a regular 1/2 chuck that is keyless. It will take all bits up to 1/2". Hex shank is better cause they won't slip as round shank will but all will work. Very good drill compared to the old DeWalt 18v I had. Strongly recommend

I believe it's a 1/2" shank but I'm not absolutely sure. It's in my shop up in CT and I'm in NYC at the moment, so I can't check it. I'll check this weekend and send confirmation. But your router should be able to handle 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" shanks with different collets.

Just make sure whatever router you decide to buy can handle the 1/2" shank on the dovetail router bit that comes with the jig. I believe most Bosch routers can handle 1/2" shanks (my own can an it's a Bosch, but I forget the model number).

1/4" shank. actually amazon suggests only one size of bits for this router...

No. only accepts 1/4" hex shaft bits...I use it with a set of cheap adapters also from amazon which allow me to use all of my smaller 1/4" and 3/8" drive sockets with it.

The specs for the jig drill guides are 19/64ths. I could not finds the actual bit size either.

To answer that question for ANY available drill bit or bit set on the market, you simply need to know the max chuck size for your drill and the shank size of the drill bit. For example if you're drill has a max chuck size of 3/8" then you know that it can accept bits with shanks that are 3/8" or SMALLER. I believe this set is 1/4" shank (from what I get from the limited info in the listing). Since 1/4" is SMALLER than 3/8" (1/4" = 2/8"...2 is smaller than 3) it should fit.

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.
