Mini drill chuck

[Jim McDonald]

Years ago, I got an adapter from Mike to use micro drill bits in a standard chuck.

It was made just like a miniature chuck with jaws--not a collet like the one I just purchased. 

Any sources on a chuck style adapter for mini drill bits? Thanks

I bought mine from Amazon. Lots to choose from. About $10.

This is the kind I have.

Jim,

What i have is a 1/4" chuck from an old drill, It's a Jacobs so is pretty good. You should be able to pick up an old 1/4" electric drill fro next to nothing now.
Undo the chuck, screw a bolt into it, where it used to screw onto the drill, Cut the head of the bolt, fit into your drill press and Bob's your auntie.

Dremel makes a chuck for holding small bits.  It has a 1/8" shaft which will fit in any drill chuck.  They are available anywhere rotary tools are sold.
