Re: drilling small holes on a unimat
I got mine at home depot. Should be on Amazon, too. Yes:? https://www.amazon.com/Dremel-4486-MultiPro-Keyless-Chuck/dp/B0000302ZV

Re: drilling small holes on a unimat
I like that pin vise for a chuck. I've get several pin vises for hand use, but never saw one to fit in a chuck before.
