Does it accept 1/2 inch shank bits?

Hi Blair, No. The 611 maxes out at 1/4". Go to: http://www.precisebits.com/products/equipment/dewalt_611_collets.asp?tsPT=!!!Dewalt_611!!!Collet!!!PG!!!

no, only one quarter, maybe you can get some Adaptor 1/4 to 1/2 but I do not recommend it for security reasons, the shaft rotates very fast for an adapter.

Not 1/2 inch, but PreciseBit have a collet kit containing a 1/4, 3/16 and 1/8 sizes. Not up to 1/2".Carlos

It's not safe to use a 1/2 inch bit on a small horsepower router like this one. For my workshop, I bit the bullet and bought a 3HP Porter Cable & built a sturdy table in which to permanently mount it. I've never looked back. Done door panels and dovetails and all kinds of mouldings with the big router, and this little one lives in the table's drawer along with its 1/4" bits 'til I need it for laminates and other edging jobs. Have had both routers for close to 20 years and they're still going strong. Buy the right machine for the job, you won't be sorry you did.

Yes the diameter of the shank is standard. Although it may hang a bit lower, but that will not affect its operation.

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".

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.

yes - i have been using it with a 5/8 bit - but the bit needs to have a stepped down shank - the small chuck can't hold larger than 3/8"

It will but 1\4" drill bits with a 1\8th shank are expensive. Especially quality ones.

I don't know what that means. I just used it as I would a regular drill bit, not 1/2' if that is what you mean.

The 89-152 is 1/2" shank but the 89-102 set is 1/4". Always check the reference on Freud website before ordering:http://www.freudtools.com/p-235-five-piece-round-overbeadingbr-bit-setsbr-nbsp.aspxHappy new year.

I would think so, if the shank is the same size, and fits hex ends. I have a quarter inch.

Yes it will handle the one inch bits also. I think it is a quality product.

Will work fine with either size chuck. I prefer to use compact lightweight 3/8" cordless drills but as others have said, if the shank fits a 3/8" chuck, it'll certainly fit a 1/2" chuck.

To my knowledge, it will accept any size drill bit with a hex shank. I don't see how it could be adapted for use with normal, round shank bits. There are adapters for conventional drills to accept hex bits, but it does not work the other way around. I hope this helps and that I understood your question correctly.

Yes, it can, but it doesn't work as well as something that is a titanium bit.I bought this and it worked great Neiko® 10194A 3/8" Shank Titanium Step Drill Bit, 1/4' to 1-3/8' in 1/8' Increments |10 Steps

The Rikon 30-100 will accept a 1/2 inch drill bit. I am not aware of an adapter to accept larger drill bits.

It fits all standard 1/4 inch bits. This is the style I use:http://www.techni-tool.com/758SC0227?gclid=CODRkPPI7b0CFYtDMgodQiAACg&ef;_id=Uzut7QAAAWfsxbn5:20140419221204:s

Not exactly sure about the largest bit this tool will accept (maybe about 3/4").You will probably need to check on a much larger tool.

I can't tell you for sure...but if I had to guess...I would say "No". The issue is not the diameter/size of the shank, but how it's locking fit piece is shaped. Everything I have ever read says that the bits that go with this tool will NOT fit any other tools. It is a great tool and it all works fine..but it is not made of standard fit to work with other tools.
