I put a Porter Cable hole saw in my Sears LARGE drill press that is awesome.But the hex bit above the hole saw "bell" is very tiny compared to Lenox or Milwaukee so I had to chuck up much smaller to hold it. Well being that when you chuck up on something small the 3 teeth in the drill head have to pertrude way out to hold the bit.So while I was making do with the toy Porter Cable a tooth broke out of the head . I NEVER buy Stanley, Black and Decker or Porter Cable.Some will say, "Man I've had a Black and Decker for 20 years!". Yeah, on a shelf they do last 80 years.But I absolutly love that Craftsman from Sears.It was over $500 back in '05 but I constantly throw 1" and smaller drill bits with a 5/8 shank of coarse in it.Hole saws etc.You better but a piece of metal in the groove to catch it if it snags.It's powerful .Had a guy bragging on his 1915 a/c motor.Said it's been running great since the 90's!I told him I haven't seen him in the woods since the 90's. I was in his basement 1 day later on and he had it blocked in with a bass boat, riding lawnmower,Christmas yard raindeers and so on.The way it was positioned , it looked to have been put against the back wall sideways with a forklift.With old rugs thrown on it! All I saw was purple bars sticking out of the scrap carpet pieces. When you die, what good is a pretty corpse?lol.
