What is the size of the opening in the sub base? I have a 2 in bottom cleaning bit for use in a planing jig and I want to make sure it will clear.

while I am not able to measure it at this time, I believe the sub base opening is at least 2". I see that others have confirmed that it is 2" exactly. You might want to use the 2 " bit to slightly enlarge the opening as it is soft phenolic.

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.

I'm not an expert in that arena but SDS+ to the best of my understanding has always the same "shank" diameter. But not sure about the shaft thing. You can take a look @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit_shank

The 1" x 8 is 0.525 across the flats. Obviously, you will need one to open a bi more. I use my tap in. Wood lathe, meaning that the part is chucked and the head stock locked. The tap is set in position to start and the point of the tail stock pressed into the centering hole on the flats end of the tap. I then use an adjustable crescent wrench to turn the tap while advancing the tail stock to feed and keep pressure on the tap. This is a bit of a dance as my tail stock is 10 TPI and the tap is 8 TPI. JUST DOUBLE CHECK THAT YOU DON't REALLY WANT A 1.250 x 8 TPI TAP!!

If you are asking if the 1/2" is the end that sticks into the drill, then no, the opening is just short of 1/2", but you can find a 1/2" drill BIT for drilling that would fit appropriately into this drill.

The bottom base is 2" and the top opening is 3" in diameter while the depth is 7/8" straight up or 1" if you measure on a slant.

I have the 5/8" dia x 10" long bit. It has a turned shaft that appears to be right at 1/2" dia...perhaps even a 32'nd less or so. This item is for a common/std "hammer drill" -- NOT the SDS series. There are NO FLATS on the shank. Hope this helps. Mel in Montana

Hello; The bit that I have fits into a 3/8 drill easily. I believe my bit is the same bit you are asking about. Good luck.

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.

hey" I'm showing 7 & 1/4" flush, chuck at max width to base plate. i' assume most spoon, auger,mortise, & brad bit's should be good , within chuck limit. have fun""

It has a smaller shank. I used it in my 3/8" drill chuck. I got them to use on a cast iron sink and they worked great. I have since used them for many other projects. They still look new and are staying sharp so far.

Normal. The silver thing in front is a chuck. You won't be doing any heavy drilling with a large sized bit anyway. It's only for very light work.

I bought it for my cordless Dremel Tool but the shaft is bigger than 1/8", so I have to use it in my drill. Dremel makes a larger tool that fits this bit. But I didn't want to buy another tool to fit the bit. Next time I will read ALL the user comments!

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

I used a 1 1/2" hole saw. The bulkhead stayed leak free for over 6 months under the weight of 1 gallon of water. It could be tighter with a 1 15/32" bit, and it would be a very nice tight fit. The 1.5" hole saw left a tiny gap between bulkhead and edge, but never even noticed after I screwed the nut on tight.

The jig will open to 2.25 inch. And no, it can not be retrofitted to go any wider as 2.25 is max. But since you have to go 1.50 inch, don't see a problem

I have the same problem albeit - using the drill the one time I tested it out, the bit didn't come out. I don't think your doing anything wrong - I'm guessing its something in the design. I will admit though - being able to just pull the bit out, does make me a little uncomfortable.
