formariz 9,561 #26 Posted August 4 (edited) Look at photos. Place auger in chuck with points aligned with recesses in the two jaws . Then let it go down all the way. Tighten chuck then until top of jaws go tight to shank. Tighten really well by hand only. Put ratcheting in center so there is no ratchet in order to tighten or loosen. With smaller bits you may have to bring them up a bit so chuck hies tight to round shank. Just takes a little practice. Line up notches then drop but all the way in and tighten.

Large bits take quite a bit of effort. Takes time and practice to get the hang of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Running the bit through so it hits that floor will dull it quickly. Always a good idea to put a piece of scrap wood under your workpiece so the drill goes into something safe and with no damage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
