Will this use other collets besides 1/4"?

Late answer but I recently saw a third party collet adapter that enabled you to use 8mm bits with this router. It was on a lumberjocks review of the adapter. Not sure if I can post the link but if you search the site you can probably find it.

no. and you probably wouldn't want it to, since the amps and the horsepower could not support heavy materials that require a 1/2 inch router bit. i'm guessing the motor would fri. you can however use router bits that are 1/2 inch in diameter also have a 1/4 inch collet.

There is an 8mm collet adapter by Elaire. ElaireCorp.com ... search under Dewalt Routers. Make sure you do pagedown when at that page. 8mm is almost 1/2" and is supposedly better than a 1/2" collet router bit. 8mm Shank Router bits must be purchased. 1/2" shank router bits will not fit in the 8mm collet adapter.

I think you are limited to the 1/4" collet. Then again, it is a "compact" router so you don't want to use this great tool for heavy duty routing anyway (larger bits than 1/4"; and big jobs with harder woods). Check it out here: http://www.dewalt.com/tools/woodworking-routers-dwp611pk.aspx

That is the only thing I don't like about the awesome tool. As far as I know you can't

Hi Blair, No. The 611 maxes out at 1/4". Go to: http://www.precisebits.com/products/equipment/dewalt_611_collets.asp?tsPT=!!!Dewalt_611!!!Collet!!!PG!!!

I'm not sure if they make one for a 1/4" drill but I have to agree with Mr. Jacobsen; a 1/4" drill probably won't have enough power to drill to any appreciable depth. I have 1/2" Craftsman and it will occasionally spin on the auger shaft in this tough Texas clay.

I purchased the poles that went with that flange - it is a 1" diameter and is snug, so I don't believe the 1 1/4" will fit.

I dont know if the collet in your dremel is 1/2 inch and if it is. You can use it with..

1 1/4 " is what I used. Check w/ the manufacturer of the flooring (they usually tell you on their website). Good luck!!

You could get a bigger collet, but I'd recommend replacing the original w/ Dremel 4486 MultiPro Keyless Chuck. ($8.13) (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000302ZV/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) I love mine & it will accommodate most Dremel accessories.

I do not know about metric collets for this router. I suggest you go on the Porter Cable web site and see. It comes wqith 1/4" and 1/2" collets and that is what I always use, mostly 1/2" bits.

I don't believe it will. The Colt is equipped with a standard 1/4" collet. The shaft holding the 1/4" collet sure doesn't appear large enough to support a 1/2" collet.

Karl, you will need the Dremel 4486 Quick Change Collet. The 4486 collet is used with the Dremel 4000. The 4486 accepts all accessory bits with 1/32" to 1/8" shanks. Good luck. Jim D.

I believe this will work using 1/4" dovetail bits, providing you have the correct bushing. I always use 1/2" bits for this because they are much less likely to experience harmonic vibration (chatter) because of the larger diameter shaft. This is an excellent dovetail jig which I am certain will provide you with perfect dovetails for many year.

The shank on these bits is 0.0445" & will not fit a standard Dremel tool collet (0.125"). Dremel does makes an adjustable chuck that works nicely though. They may also sell smaller collets, not sure about this though.

Hi,Measured both collets that came with the router using digital caliper, they are definitely 1/2" and 1/4"; 1/2" shank bits fit snug in the collet.Dieter

I had to use the 1 1/4" adapter that had the longer end on it for my shop vac the other to did not fit.

doubt there is a reducer from 1/4" collets to 6mm, you might find a 6mm collet in Europe that will fit the machine.

Kreg Tools website and Amazon specifically say: "Please note: It works exclusively with 4/4 to 5/4 (3/4-inch to 1-1/8-inch) stock and is not designed for use with 2x material including 2x4s, 2x6s, 2x8s, etc."

It does not have a 1/4" size. But I have found that using a comparable metric size works pretty well. The closest it ha in standard is 5/16" & 3/8". Hope this helps.
