Bank on it...

1/2-20 is the thread.

I have checked it out in several ways:

1/2" chucks are only available in 1/2-20 thread

I have threaded a nut on it that is out of a box marked "1/2-20"

I have held up a bolt that I measured to be 20 threads per inch to the drill shaft and matched up the threads perfectly.

Finally, I measured the thread length of the drill shaft (~3/8") and counted the number of threads (~7.5) to get (60/3 = 20).

Believe me or do your own measurements & calculations but you can depend on it, the thread is a 1/2-20.
