Is there any particular pilot drill bit size that works with this? I've never used a hole saw before. . . .

I don't know what that means. I just used it as I would a regular drill bit, not 1/2' if that is what you mean.

The "SDS" drills have a unique chuck and will only work with SDS bits. These bits will not work in a conventional chuck.

The driver takes 1/4" bits so it will take any sized drills that have a 1/4" shank. I have up to 2 1/2" wood bits with 1/4" shanks that can be used in this driver but I don't know that I would. You can also purchase a 1/4" drill chuck that will take any size drill bit; this tool will then be limited only by what size drill the chuck can handle. I have drilled 1/2" holes in wood with this driver but with anything larger, I wouldn't be using this driver anyway. I would switch over to a 120v electric drill. So, I guess it really boils down to what you plan to do with this driver. I use it for screws most all of the time but if I need to drill some holes it will do the job very nicely. For larger holes use larger tools. Hope this helps.

With the drill, I would recommend pilot holes. If you get the impact wrench, no need for pilot holes.

Hi Alex; You have to set it up using a ruler; but sure it will be able to do that size cut. This hole saw has two opposing blades that slide on a bar and are tightened with set screws so you need to have them equal distance from the center pilot drill bit. Also this saw can only be used on totally flat surfaces or the cutting blades will jump and or chip out the material your trying to cut into. Watch out you need to drill carefully or else the drill could kick back and hurt you. For me it was the best money ever spent even if I don't ever use it again.

Yes, you should have no problem using these with a standard drill bit chuck. These are a great value and last longer than I expected.

Hello, Slash! Thank you for your inquiry. We carry a 4pc and 5pc kit that comes with a 5" dry bit, but not a 5.5" bit. It comes with a SDS adapter, but not a SDS plus adapter, a pilot bit, and a hex adapter. Here is a link to these at our Amazon store: http://www.amazon.com/Diamond-Masonry-Drill-Includes-Adapters/dp/B00460UE9M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406832539&sr=8-1&keywords=4pc+dry+bit+kit&dpPl=1 and http://www.amazon.com/Dry-Diamond-Masonry-Core-Drill/dp/B00460W7GK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1406832539&sr=8-2&keywords=4pc+dry+bit+kit&dpPl=1 If you have any questions or concerns, please email us or call us at the number below.

Yes, this will work better than a hole saw. Just punch a center point first to avoid the "walking" effect when drilling.

Mine came with the drill bit as seen in the picture. Not sure about the hole size, I would call it 1/2 to 5/8 of an inch.

The tip is mighty sharp. It doesn't actually make a hole in anything but is used to make a little indent in your drilling surface so your drill bit doesn't float when you do try to make a precision hole. You can also put your drill bit beside the tip and confirm the size that way. If the bit is wider than the tip of the punch then good, if its the same size then there you go. The size of this punch is like around the size of ball point pin so its not going to make a great big pilot indent...

I used 1/2 inch diamond drill, I bought this from Amazon SE - Stone Diamond Hole Saw Set - 80 Grit, 2 Pc - DH12HSWorked perfectly. Just spray water while you drill and do small circular motions while drilling, it took maybe 10 minutes, don't put too much pressure and don't drill too fast... keep it steady.

Hello Bradley,Yes. This drill doesn't require a specific type of bit. Hope that helps!

It has a Jacobs style chuck that goes down to zero size...I did chuck up a #60 drill bit, slightly over 1mm about the diameter of a paper clip with no problems, however with drill bits this small, this drill is too big, that small of a bit is better suited for the hand held tools as the Dremil style...

To my knowledge, it will accept any size drill bit with a hex shank. I don't see how it could be adapted for use with normal, round shank bits. There are adapters for conventional drills to accept hex bits, but it does not work the other way around. I hope this helps and that I understood your question correctly.

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.

That's correct - it is a fixed chuck size. It only accepts SDS+ bits (Bosch, Hilti, DeWalt all manufacture these and you can get them from Amazon and most home improvement stores). The SDS+ design uses a common shaft size, regardless of the gauge of the bit.

I would definitely NOT use this in a hand drill. That would be dangerous. There are other tools more appropriate and less expensive that can be used with a hand drill, though they are made for a specific size of hole. I think they are called hole saws.
