What kind of bit do I need for this drill? I need a 1/8" size drill bit.

5/16 but its adjustable for many different sizes i recently used it on a job drilling into concrete with a 1/2 inch masonary bit and it went through the 8 inch slab like butter

The thicker bit is 5/8" for this drill. So that would not have any problem in using one of 1/8. With one adjustable chuck you will have severals options.

This drill bit is built with really good quality. It should work with any 1/2 drill. However, it is the drill usually has too much torque, and hard to control the torque. Using the bit with such drill is easy to hurt the rist. Be very careful with it. I am not recommending it as it is tricky and easy to hurt rist.

I think u need a 3/8 drill. Not sure how many kind of drills there are. But 3/8 I think is standard. So in most cases I'd say you are probably safe with this set

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".

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

I can not find a size listed on the drill bit. Sorry for not being any help.

An 1/8th inch bit is the biggest you will be able to use and that will just barely fit.

I used a 1/2 inch diamond drill bit (it's not like a normal bit, it's hollow in the middle), you can purchase at your local home improvement store. There are videos that will show you the procedure. I just saw the other comments, those are wrong. I just checked my drill bit to make sure, it is 1/2 inch. DON'T use anything bigger or you will have a giant hole in your nice counter tops.

Use the size that comes with it and nothing else. I ruined my old one by using one that was a different size. Mine came with plenty of bits so I just stick with mine now. Oh BTY I LOVE MY DRILL!!! :-) It's wonderful!

I can use all the bits I have including my cheap unknown brand cordless drill. I haven't found any that doesn't fit, but I don't have very many different brands. Hope that helps!

Any 1/4" hex bits will fit this screwdriver. They are very common.

According to the 18-900L manual it says "Use drill bits with a shank of 5/8" or less in diameter." So, I guess that makes it a 5/8" chuck.

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 think that a 1/4" bit will fit into the chuck, but the motor doesn't have the torque to push it through anything harder than wax. This machine is a sweet running little drill press, but it is seriously lacking torque. It is only for drilling very small holes in light or thin material. It took me several minutes to drill a 1/8" hole in 1/4" aluminum. Good machine for what it's made for.

The 3/8" designates the diameter of the chuck, or the place you insert the drill bit. This size will accomodate bits from 1/16" up to 3/8" and everything in between. You can generally buy a group of from 7 to 10 bits in one pack and they generally run 1/16" to 3/8". You can also get special bits that will fit a 3/8" chuck but can drill larger size holes, such as up to a half inch...even larger. Welcome to the "do it yourself" world.

There is no size given on the box or paperwork. I compared it to a drill bit and it looks to be between - 1/8 and 7/64
