Sorry if this is an FAQ. I'm drilling pilot holes in oak handrail with a 3mm bit. The bit is one set in a hex drive [to be quick change]. That is, until it stuck in the mopstick, and the actual drill bit came out of the hex drive part.
I've tried tightening the chuck of my DEWalt on it and reversing it out, nope! (The chuck just slips around on it.)
I'v also tried clamping a mole wrench on it and pulling [and wriggling] as hard as i can but it slips off.
time to apply some science... does heating it up do the trick? As the oak burns does it shrink away or attach itself more firmly??
I know that in desperation i can saw it off, but i want to use that hole for a screw - if i can.
Thanks!
