They don't make 'em like they used to
Having to drill several 1mm holes, I grabbed my cordless drill, then the power drill, then tried the drill press - none would get a grip on the tiny 1mm drill bit. In desperation I grabbed the 50+ year old egg beater I had recently restored and, GESS WOT? it did the trick. Just proves they don 't make 'em like they used to !

Just used mine also for a 1mm hole - nothing much to go wrong with them.

It depends on the size/type/brand of the cordless/chuck, and since most egg beater drills use small chucks I would expect them to hold small bits.
As far as DP chucks go, my only keyed chuck cannot hold a 1mm but, all 5 of my (MT2/MT3) keyless DP chucks will hold a 1mm bit.
The smallest bit my 1/2" chuck cordless Makitas will hold is 1.3 mm, but both my Makita right angle cordless and Bosch cordless with 3/8 chucks will easily hold a 1mm bit.
The Makita right angle cordless will even hold a 0.4mm bit - the smallest drill bit I own (SWMBO has smaller ones)

My bet is that this machine will hold drill bits less than 1mm.
Can any one tell me what the machine is designed for?
