Electric drills come with a huge variety of different bits. In order to unscrew an old bit and attach a new bit to the end of your drill, you’ll have to remove whatever bit is currently in there. On most modern drills, bits can be removed manually, or by using the drill itself. If you’re trying to remove a bit from an older drill or a drill press, you’ll need a special tool called a drill chuck key. Learn more below!

M213 STREAKERS feature three extremely large flute cavities, unique end face and gashing, and 37-degree helixes to achieve deep cuts and high feed rates, according to the company. IMCO’s special end face and flute grinds create a free cutting action allowing aggressive plunging and ramping moves.

“Milling in aluminum has unique challenges, especially for aerospace parts,” said Matt Osburn, Vice President, Technical Director for IMCO.  “So we’ve focused our advanced technologies on making customers’ work easier and faster with end mills specially designed for milling deep slots, running steep ramp angles with high feed rates on entry moves, and plunging at high feed rates without a peck cycle, and providing a superior surface finish as part of the package.”

To remove a drill bit manually, first locate the chuck at the end of the drill, which is the part of the drill that holds the bit in place. Hold the handle with one hand and turn the chuck counterclockwise to loosen its internal components, which will free your drill bit. Continue turning the chuck until the bit falls out. If the chuck feels stuck when you try to rotate it, insert a Phillip’s Head screwdriver into the tip of the drill. Then, turn the screw inside of the chuck counterclockwise to loosen it up enough to rotate the chuck. You can also use a wrench to turn the chuck if it’s tight or stuck.
