I have a question: Given a straight bit, how easy should it be to mount it in the chuch straight?


With bits that I know are straight, sometimes I'll have to loosen, wiggle, readjust, and retighten 5-10 times before I can get a desd-straight bit to mount straight in the chuck. The drill is a Makita MForce 14.4v, with the 1/2in Rohm chuck.


Any advice or comments appreciated.


Thanks!
