First of all I'm a DIY noob.

I want to drill some 11mm holes but the 11mm drill bit I just bought doesn't fit into the keyless chuck I have which I only just noticed says 10mm 3/8" on it.

So I was thinking of replacing the chuck with one that can cope with thicker drill bits. I've removed the existing chuck. The interweb says chucks usually come in 20 or 24 threads and you should replace your current one with one with the same number of threads.

The thing is the existing chuck has only 12 threads inside and the spindle to which it was fixed to has only 10.

This is my drill: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-0603973370-Cordless-Driver-Battery/dp/B005GIU1VO/

Can someone tell me what replacement (preferably keyless) chuck I should get?
 
There is only one keyless chuck available for that drill, part no: 2 609 002 087
Highly unlikely your going to get a larger capacity one for that drill.

You haven't said what your drilling, but if it's metal, easiest solution is to buy a 11mm HSS Blacksmith drill bit, these come with a 8mm or 10mm reduced shank.

Just go & hire a drill for a day or weekend, would work out cheaper, around £16- £20 for cordless drill for a weekend here.

Your drill isn't designed to have a larger chuck fitted, looking at it's specs, they say 10mm capacity for metal.

I guess you're right; I might be expecting too much from my drill. I'm sure my brother will have a corded one I can borrow. Thanks for your help.
