I never did find mine, but Menards had a freebee that included one. I tried it and it would work, but because of the design, it doesn't go into the "universal socket" very far, maybe 1/2". It would work ok for enlarging a hole, but maybe not very good for making one.
Just had to post my finding.
Thanks again.

[attachment=41083 Wrote:toolmiser pid='8057214' dateline='1644546746']I had a need today to use a square shank tapered drill bit in my cordless drill. I have a 18" long 5/8" diameter drill bit that I wanted to use to enlarge a 3/8" hole in a turning. I ended up using a brace to turn it, but it would have been much easier with a power drill.
I was tempted to saw off the square shank, but I don't like to do things like that, and that wouldn't have been reversible.
Has anybody ever seen something like that?
Thanks
I've got what I think is exactly what you're looking for.

This came out of an old brace. Since "nobody" uses the old style brace anymore, they can quite often be found for not a lot of money, sometimes found in thrift shops or a "Re-store". A grinder can cut through the part of a brace holding the chuck assembly, then cut off the round shaft about an inch or so beyond the base of the threaded part that the chuck itself threads on to.

I never thought of doing that. I have a couple that got no interest at my garage sales and would make a donar. Sometimes it just takes asking the right person the right question.
Thanks again

I was on the right track; I was just thinking of cutting the wrong tool.
