So, I saw these bits at a flea market, if you can believe it. for 5 dollars for a box… but not yet having my machine. Im not sure the shank will fit, I didnt pick them up yet… but the guy gave me one to try. they are like tiny pcb bits. Will this shank go into the dewalt 611?

It appears to be 1/8" shank. You will need an adapter or collet for 1/8" bits.
