How small a bit will the chuck close on?

Any standard sized drill bit. If it's too small for the chuck to hold, it's too small to be putting in a drill with this much power and weight, you'll break the bit if you cough. :)

Just checked it -- the smallest bit I had handy is 1/16" and the chuck on my PC600D is precise enough to hold that firmly centered...I also recall that I used this drill for a luggage-repair project requiring 1/8" bit -- and in my opinion -- with a bit of care, two-handed bracing of the drill, and the variable speed, small bits can be used without breaking them.

If the chuck is adjustable to secure the bits, sure. I think you would be better off with a drill, but...

Think it is half inch, have the same Chuck on a larger Makita hammer drill.

Take drill bits with square ends to lock in chuck. Straight bits will not work

It will not grip as tight, but it will work so long as you pay attention to where you are chucking. Better to get a bit for this drill

Yeah. The size of your chuck is the upper limit of what size shaft it can handle. So that chuck can handle anything smaller than 1/2".

Hi there, if you take off the 'crows nest' tool rack you can just get 200mm or 8 inches under collet with burr well into chuck. Hope this helps.Rgds Barry

I will check for you this afternoon.Well I checked with my smallest drill bit which I measured with my calipers at 1.5 mm and it grips it nice and tight. Hope this helps.

The chuck holds 1/16 inch (0,0625) drills securely. So, I suppose that a 2.3 mm (0.23cm or 0.091 inch) drill bit should be held securely by the chuck.

If you re-install the chuck onto your Dremel threaded spindle, (righty tighty, lefty loosey), you will begin to see the chuck close. It was never addressed in the instructions, I found this out by accident. When removing the chuck from the Dremel tool, while the chuck is open, place a bit of any type into the open jaws, then loosely hold the bit in the jaws while you unscrew the chuck from the dremel.

Use your key to tighten the chuck, then use a wood block and hammer to tap and lock it in. Be careful not to damage chuck.

Granddad's answer is correct. Fortunately, I had a set of Irwin hex shank drill bits that fit so I didn't need a chuck on a hex shaft. I was drilling holes in the corner of bookcase for wiring, so a chuck wouldn't let me get as close as I wanted.

Sorry, you cannot use the 2 items you've listed for this product. The chuck can only fit a one sided 1/4" hex bit tips.

It's very simple, you just hold the drill firmly in one hand and twist the end of the chuck in the other. Open wide enough to insert the size bit you need then twist in the other direction. The chuck will move very little while twisting.

No, 1mm is too small. It does not have a true Jacobs Chuck, it only accepts standard dremmel type bits
