I have MT 2 taper shank drill bits that I use on my metal lathe, will I be able to use this machine on them the same as standard twist drill bits?

I keep trying to answer but my post doesn't show up. I don't have any morse taper bits to try in my drill doctor's chuck. My chuck only goes to 1/2" and the bit must inserted an exact amount into the chuck. Even with the optional 3/4" chuck, I believe the taper will prevent the chuck from holding the bits correctly.

It will work with rapid-load (hex-shaft) drill bits, or you can get a rapid-load to chuck adapter to use "standard" round shafted bits in it.

It has a 1/2" capacity chuck, but depending on what material you're drilling into, capacity might be limited more by the motor than the chuck capacity. Most wood bits don't have larger shanks and if you try to fit a 3/4" metal bit, even with a step-down shank or a larger chuck, I don't think this would have enough power to even drill with it.

It should work just fine, while not specified, almost all tools with replaceable bits, these days, use a standard 1/4" hex shank, as these bits appear to do as well. So, it should work in the LI4000 just fine. That said, keep in mind that the LI4000 is rated at 70 inch/pounds of torque and 180 RPM. This means you may need to use a hand tool to final tighten a typical nut, and it may be even faster to turn it by hand... Good luck.

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.

Only drill bits with the correct hex shank will fit. DEWALT offers a pretty good selection of bits for this tool.

All standard hex bits are compatible, they appear to be the same for all tools. You will have to shop around for a 7mm nut driver, but I am sure you can find one or a set that includes one. -Brad

you will have to put a reducer on the bits as they are primarily hex shaft 1/4 inch. I would suggest getting a drill driver and save the hassle.

i believe it is the same as the metal mini lathe wich mt2 i have both and the parts interchange

Not unless your Dremel is a lot different than mine! The shank diameter of these saws is about 4 times the diameter of my Dremel tool bits. Even if it did fit, I think the Dremel tool rotational speed is far too high for these tools. My multi-speed Dremel has a minimum speed of 5000 rpm. In my use of diamond-tipped tools, I found much LOWER speeds (1000 rpm, I'm guessing, maybe even less) to be desirable.

Any 2 inch shank will work. I used my old one on my set and it works just fine.

I doubt it. The bit surfaces are too large. There are probably specialized products for those small applications or you might be better off using a thin reverse drill bit.

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

Yes....they are made to drill metal. Make sure you don't put lateral pressure on your drill....you will snap any bit if you don't use the tool properly. Drill bits are designed to go in/out, up and down, not in and then side to side.

There is a converter for tall shank machines, so you could use this with your machine. But I would get the converter first. I've seen them on eBay and you could check out goldstar tools on the web.

I looked at a couple of OHTs and I would say no. You need the removable flat bit for them to work. Take a look at the some of the Leatherman Surges and Leatherman Waves and you will see what I mean. If you have the removable bits, and you get/have the bit driver extension, you can use regular bits.

Sure you can, many bit sizes and configurations, flat, Phillips, star and they come in kits. The shaft is a standard 1/4" fit and almost all interchangeable bits for most drills are the same slot size. Desalt has a small bonk assortment with 1/4" shafts on Drill bits and driver bits, and I'm sure Amazon must have about a zillion different kits that would work around the home. This drill has a lot of power for something so small but not much speed drilling is very slow but can be done!
