I saw video reviews that said the chuck could be of better quality. Could I replace the chuck with a Jacobs? What size thread is needed?

I don't know about switching the chuck over to a Jacobs, but the the Bosch I have seems fine. This is my favorite drill (I gave 4 different drills), the Bosch is always the one I look for first. I have a compact Makita that has a chuck the constantly drops the bits. The Bosch seems fine, holds the bits tight and has minimal runout.

We use Jacobs chucks on our drills. You should not have an issue with the chuck, however if you choose to replace it the thread size for the PS31 is 1/2 - 20. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).

I suppose t easy answer would be to tell you nope or I dont know.....I am a retired U.S.M.C scout sniper my hole dam life has been adapt overcome. I dont know your skills, so if you have any machineing (ok poor spelling) skills or have frendsthat do mic. It turn a new one its made in Israel so the threads will b metric. If not just get a peace of hardened steel and long as its got a point glue or chemicaly wield to pen, as far as handcuff key an lock thing ....Officer store get a new one (providing you have a lic.)

You could get a bigger collet, but I'd recommend replacing the original w/ Dremel 4486 MultiPro Keyless Chuck. ($8.13) (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000302ZV/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) I love mine & it will accommodate most Dremel accessories.

Mitch - I'd stay away from a hammer drill. This unit has a light-weight main shaft designed to fit 1/4" hex chucks like from a 18v 1/4" impact driver. However, it's beefy enough that I had no problem using it in the 1/2" Jacobs chuck in my drill press. I needed a smaller diameter chuck for a project I was working on and it worked like a charm. The hex-shaft design extends its utility so it can be used in many applications. It's a very flexible design - and a useful addition to any workshop.

They might sell for that size an adapter you screw on first the chuck size is 1"x8tpi and it comes with an adapter for 3/4 16tpi, and I know that there are other sizes as well.

I'm not sure. But I would speculate that the Chuck is replaceable. Depending on the size' they range from $10-$30

I have found it to be as good as the jacob chucks I have used. The rest of the precision lies in the drill press or mill it is used on.

It is only comes with the treads mentioned. You might ask PSI ( http://www.pennstateind.com/store/spindle-adapters.html ) or your lathe maufacturer if they have an adapter. This chuck seems pretty heavy for a no. 1 Morse

the bit is just slightly larger than the size of screw you are drilling for. If you space is tight, your chuck will probably be your biggest issue

Chuck size is the adjustable opening at the end for the bit. This drill has a 3/8" chuck size capability, so you would be OK.

yes anything with standard chuck should work if the chuck is 3/8 some larger bits might not fit! 1/2 bits probably wont fit!

It depends on the turning capacity of the lathe. The most important question is will these jaws fit on your chuck! Most of the current chucks I'm familiar with have the same screw spacing so you should be OK. Just make sure you can return the item if it does'nt fit. Hope this helps.

I use a nova chuck. It works great. You can contact me @ coreyk6767 @gmail.com

the chuck is universal, you need to know the spindle size for correct adapter.

I just got mine today and the chuck looks pretty decent quality to me. It looks identical to this one on Amazon which gets good reviews: CTA Tools 1930 Straight Lock-On Air ChuckIn fact, I was shopping for a possible replacement but from the reviews, nothing is better than this one which appears to come with the Astro Pneumatic.

It has to be the same chuck size. Check the drill and the bit before purchase.
