How are drill bits made?
Depending on the quality - Poor quality cheap drills may be ground with a groove down each side and then heated up and twisted. the end is then sharpened. Modern more upmarket drills are ground as they rotate to produce the spiral flute. the end is then sharpened. The drills are hardened and tempered to make them hard enough to drill metal etc. Masonry drills have a tough carbide tip brazed onto the end to resist the abrasive effects of the brick / concrete dust as they drill

How do you adjust the chuck on the drill to fit the drill bit?
Depending on the size or the bit and the chuck, you can use a "collar " on the bit. Make one out of something that will slide firmly onto the outside of the bit. like the plastic tube from inside a ball point pen, a piece of aquarium tubing, etc. You can also buy 1/4" shank bits with small diameter ends. They are made to use in power screwdrivers, but will work in your drill.

What brands of bits are compatible with a makita bdf452 18v lxt lithium drill and what are the essential bits?
First off, Makita tools are very good. A few bits should come with the drill. It sounds like any standard cordless drill bits would work. You want a main bit that you use primarily. That is about 2 inches long and is a #2 phillips head. Sometimes it has a flat head on the other end which is handy. You may want another two inch bit with a flat head. Buy a good one for a buck extra (Vermont American bit, etc...)so it won't get stripped quickly. You can buy lots of bits that are two inches long, but you want a bit set. It has a bunch of different smaller bits that fit into a 2 inch chank with a socket-type end. There is just a ton of different stuff that you can buy, and you can probably find lots of different kits that contain all of this. You can use drill bits that are made for cordless drills. A normal drill bit won't work. The base end of the bit is made to slide down/ fit into the drill. I have some of those drill bits, and I also have some that make a little divit into the wood so the screw-head fits in nice and snug. Mine are made at Ryobi, and I bought them at the Home Depot. You can buy replacement drill bits to fit into the base. That's pretty handy because you can break a lot of bits without replacing the whole thing.
Does someone make a magnetic Drill bit?
Drill bits will sometimes become magnetized from use, but not as a deliberate thing. It would cause the shaving from the drilling of metal to cling to the bit. You want the shaving to get out of the way so that you can judge how the drilling is progressing.
