draper multi tool

[flavourtank]

hello

i am after some advice.

i have been looking at one of these www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00IXKZEK0/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=30KXIM31248TV&coliid=I17U2XFCIPPTOY

now my question is im after some circle boring spade bits like this

would these standard drill bits fit in the multi tool or is there specific ones i can get to fit?

many thanks

[Q]

I have been looking at something like this for many a year and funnily enough have only recently been researching them through some knowledgable friends.

The general consensus is that the rechargeable, cordless ones are not worth the bother, they are ok for small hobbyist work but dont have sustainable power for anything else, the most recommended one (to me) is made by Proxxon, they are not the cheapest but I haven't had ANYONE say anything bad about them yet.

If its anything like the one I've got, different kind, normal drill bits are too big for the chuck

Q since yesterday after trying to decide what i want i thought to myself lets make a atty stand, so thats what got me looking and as being my first i dont really want to spend a great deal on getting something if i wont use it again lol so thats what got me asking about the drill pieces

The chuck on these types of tool don't take anything much bigger than 1/8 inch, so no good for that type of wood boring bit. Most regular drills will, even the 14v battery ones. The multi tool is a usefull piece of kit though. You can rout soft materials, even some plastics, but beware of the speed as they run at about 10,000 + rpm so can easily melt plastic if it gets too hot. Great for cutting with the cutting discs, even stainless steel. Great for polishing small things like scratched atties, although I've yet to try one, but have polished other things. Aldi had them in a few months ago along with a reasonable accessory kit. If you google Dremel tools you will see the range of stuff you can get.

oh ball bags, really didnt want to get a drill lol, basically i wanted to use those to make something that the atty sits into and the 510 thread also sits in so its flush if you get me any ideas?

The router set with one of these should do it. But to be honest the easiest way would be a regular drill. Which if you haven't got one, are a very useful thing to have. And cordless ones are quite cheap. But you can get Forstner bits that bore a flat bottom from about 1/4" upwards. While they can be used in a hand drill, it's easier and more accurate to use a bench drill or drill stand.

well i decided to look at drills and brought 4 for 1p (real or no real thread in shopping) so if these pay off hoping it will as parting with that sort of money is hard to do, then i can just get the bits without flaffing lol

[Bobsbeer]

Hope you get them.

I bought an adapter for mine, a chuck about haalf the size of a normal drill one, would take bits up to 8mm, but it was pants, the weight of the chuck bent the shaft that goes into the drill, useless avoid.

Just buy a cheap Perspex atty stand and 510 Aliminium bases from FT, saves a lot of time & effort and look sleek
Unless you must have a wooden one of course.

I have a dremel www.amazon.co.uk/Dremel-4000-Rotary-Tool-4000-4/dp/B0033UWLX8/ref=sr_1_2?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1418577540&sr=1-2&keywords=dremel
Got mine elsewhere at a better price in Jan sales couple years bk.
Also bought this www.amazon.co.uk/Dremel-2615448632-Keyless-Quick-Change/dp/B0002SMMY2/ref=sr_1_14?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1418577540&sr=1-14&keywords=dremel
Easily takes 6mm bits.
Most tools of this ilk have very high rpm so bear that in mind.
Lowest speed on mine is 1500 rpm I think .
