I just bought one with a 1/4 inch burr for a locksmith function and the shank will not fit. Am I missing something?

Hi, I have the same grinder and have never had that problem. If you haven't done this already, remove the collet completely, check for any burrs inside and try your bit in it off the grinder. If it still doesn't fit, perhaps the bit isn't the right size? All the 1/4 inch burrs I've bought have worked well in mine. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Makita doe's make different size collets for this tool. Contact them at their customer service number and tell them your problem. I have this tool and it only came with one collet. I had to order another. I don't remember which one it came with but now I have a 1/8th and a 1/4 in. collet. It's a great tool for getting into tight places. Try taking the collet out and run some kind of a tapered punch or steel rod through the center hole. Maybe it's got a burr or the tangs need to be sprung open. The tool should have come with the 1/4 in collet.

A 1/4" shank should work. A collet closing system has to be close tolerance but you should be able to slide it in without much pressure. The most obvious problem is the wrong size shank or a burr on the end - easy to feel. Next you might not be opening the collet on the die grinder. When you get if from the factory it might be tight and so the shank will not fit. It takes both wrenches to open it. The bottom wrench keeps it from turning the motor and the top one loosens the collet. When it is loose you can turn it easily with your hand, slip in the shank, tighten it by hand, and then use both wrenches to do the final tightening. A 1/4" shank should work.

Sorry, I don't know what is the problem with your tool. It should be ok, but may be the place which sold you the tool can help you?

If it is, you can buy an adapter sleeve that goes in the hole where the threaded shank goes. Its a short (about 1/2 in) round sleeve that fits snugly inside the hole and reduces the hole diameter to the shank diameter. I have seen them at auto parts stores and Wal-Mart. They are very low cost. Or if you have a piece of pipe the right size, you could cut off a piece and make your own. Good luck!

The previous poster has it right. I don't think the 1/4 inch blade would fit.

I have the 1/4 in and it does punch through but not well. It's most likely because the hole is too small.

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

Sounds like the hole is at the lower end of allowed tolerance. Easiest is to return it and get a replacement. If it goes on the spindle but is too tight and you don't want to return it then its likely only a thou or two undersize and a bit of gentle work with an engineers scraper or even a bit of fine emery will take off enough to let it fit smoothly. Any machine shop should have a 5/8" reamer. My saw has a 20mm spindle so I had a local saw shop machine it out to fit that.

Hole for lock is 1/2" wide. We have a lock with 1 1/4" opening above actual lock. You might want to wait till your unit arrives to get your lock to be sure it fits the indentation provided for the lock. Just a thought.

I don't know you'll need to research and see if your machine is a short shank or long and slant or not. My suggestion is go to their website and find out which part numbers fit then come back to Amazon..mi know I sure like the quality of ALL the feet I have bought of theirs.

Sorry I am not familiar with that drill press - when I got this - I counted the teeth on the chuck and tried to match the chuck key to the chuck. Looking up your make and model on line might give you an indication of the exact chuck key size you need. Best of luck -

The lock itself is that dimension. With the plastic sleeve and lock together makes the dimension 1 and 3/4 inches. So, if you are only replacing the lock and already have the plastic sleeve, it should fit. But, if the measurement you provided is without the sleeve, then it won't fit. I hope that was helpful.

Will not take a 1/4 inch drill bit. I doubt there is an adapter for that size. The orifice opening is only 3/16 inch.

The metal clip holds a standard hex shank bit. Perhaps you are using a bigger/smaller bit...? Perhaps clip is too tight and needs to be loosened through use..? Sorry I can't do better without more info.

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.

Thanks, this is what I thought, but just wanted to see if by chance that the 1/2 inch was abailable. All of my bits are 1/2 inch shank. Thank You Tagwatts1

If the shank that fits into the drill is the same length it might fit. The shank was about 1/4 in. too short for my drill. I didn't measure it, so I can't tell you how long it is. Sorry!

since the tools have no details regarding the diameter of the shank, I cannot answer this question with any accuracy. But I would guess that the bits will not fit into the Dremel chuck.

I tried to use these with my kreg hole system and they are not a snug fit. The kreg drill bit is 1/4"
