How about Centrotec drill bits in 3/32, 7/64, 1/8 and 9/64 to allow drilling pilot holes for #6, #8 and #10 screws. This would allow using the Centrotec chuck in tight spaces and with the quick change feature without having to use an adapter in the regular chuck.

regardless of what any salesman says

99 percent of all carpentry is done with two drill bits, a 3mm and 4mm drill bit

UNLESS you use solid brass slotted screws



3mm is a shade shy of 1/8in

4mm is a tad bigger than 5/32in (#8 screw [english] )
