Does the M12VC come with a 1/2" collet chuck? The amazon description says no, but many of the reviewers and the Hitachi website says yes

Yes, all 3 of my M12VC's bought this last year have come with both 1/2" and 1/4" collets. I am very happy with them, 2 are in constant use while the other goes out for preventative maintenance at a local repair shop.

The description I read says that it comes with the 1/4" collet and that he 1/2 in collet is not included. I bought mine used off of Ebay and it was included in that package. I obtained an awesome router with accessories, including 6 bits in excelent shape for $75.00.

Doesnt come with a chuck. I purchased the mini 3 jaw chuck, its inexpensive, and, its perfect for small items. If you need to bore holes you need a chuck.

it is not a chuck, it takes 1/4" hex. To drill, you need that type of bit. It is a really well made and thought out item.

The owners manual says it can accept 1/4" and 3/8" collets. It comes with a 1/4" collet and I bought a 50 piece 1/4" shank bits for less than $75.00. I just looked on Amazon and they have an assortment of sets at various prices. I bought the Neiko set and have used it quite a bit. The Makita kit you are looking at is just fabulous. All the extra bases are really handy. I am so glad I purchased it.

No , its just 1/2 chuck instead of 3/8 but not for hammer drill , choose hammer drill feature if you intended to use for hammer drill.

They might sell for that size an adapter you screw on first the chuck size is 1"x8tpi and it comes with an adapter for 3/4 16tpi, and I know that there are other sizes as well.

No, Router bits for1/2" has a larger diameter shaft/shank which is 1/2" and uses 1/2" collet. If you desire to use 1/4" router bit which has a 1/4" diameter shaft/shank, than you need to change the collet to accommodate a 1/4" bit. Is money well spend to have a 1/4" collet.

Short answer is yes - When I bought my router it had both a 1/4" and 1/2" collet. I lost the 1/4" collet and needed to replace it - so that I could use bits with a 1/4" shank.

I just got mine today and the chuck looks pretty decent quality to me. It looks identical to this one on Amazon which gets good reviews: CTA Tools 1930 Straight Lock-On Air ChuckIn fact, I was shopping for a possible replacement but from the reviews, nothing is better than this one which appears to come with the Astro Pneumatic.

The base of the two larger bits have a shank that will fit a 1/2 chuck. If thats what you got, than thats all it takes.

You could get a bigger collet, but I'd recommend replacing the original w/ Dremel 4486 MultiPro Keyless Chuck. ($8.13) (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000302ZV/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) I love mine & it will accommodate most Dremel accessories.

That is the wrong question. The question should be "can this mill use collets?" As I recall, mine was shipped with a set, so the answer must be yes. It's all in how you set it up. I mostly use the large jacobs chuck together with my set of end mills.

The machine takes a #2 Morris taper - you can use practically any type chuck to it with an adapter. I bought a MT2/JT33 adapter so I could use the old Jacobs and collet chucks from my previous drill press. Check out Grizzly.com for ideas.

Not sure what you mean. If you mean the size collets it can accept, then it can use 1/8-inch, 3/32-inch, 1/16-inch and 1/32-inch collets as well as the Dremel 4486 MultiPro Keyless Chuck.

That is RH328VC but what I remember you only can use that chuck with that RH328VCQ,not this one.I'm not 100% shure because I dont't have that chuck.

"Does this item allow me to use 1/4" bits?"No.You need to buy a 1/4" Porter-Cable collet to use bits with a 1/4" shaft. 1/2" collet is for "pro grade" bits with a 1/2" shaft. 1/4" collet is for use with bit using 1/4" shaft.
