What tool used for tightening a Pillar Drill?

To tighten the chuck on a pillar drill, you can use a chuck key or chuck wrench specifically designed for that purpose. The chuck key has a tapered end that fits into the holes on the outside of the chuck, allowing you to rotate the chuck and tighten or loosen it. Some key points about tightening a pillar drill chuck: The chuck key is inserted into one of the holes on the outside of the chuck and rotated clockwise to tighten the chuck. This allows you to securely grip drill bits or other tools in the chuck. Always remove the chuck key after tightening to avoid potential safety hazards if the drill is started with the key still inserted. Proper tightening ensures the drill bit or accessory is held firmly in place during operation. So in summary, a chuck key or chuck wrench is the specialized tool used to tighten and secure the chuck on a pillar drill, enabling you to clamp drill bits and accessories for use. Removing the key after tightening is an important safety precaution.

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.
