Does Porter Cable offers Metric collets or adapters for this router motor (8 mm and 12 mm)?

Simply type in "metric collet for porter cable router" and you will find both the 8 & 12 MM sizes here on Amazon. They are both porter cable brand so I'd think they"ll work for you. Honestly, I have no experience as my use is all Imperial measure.

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.

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

If you can find a 1/8 inch collet for it. Most routers only come with 1/4 inch collets

I have a Porter Cable 890 router and the holes almost align they are off by about a 16th of an inch. It works but you have to wiggle the adjustment wrench to get it to work. I am planning on making the hole just a tad larger so that the issue goes away.

I bought this to adapt a Makita 3612BR router to use Porter Cable guides. The plate is approx. 68mm, has a step and fits in flush with the bottom plate. I've downloaded a photo to the product description. Hope this helps! - Phil

I never tried it but I doubt it would. I suggest you contact Porter Cable directly.

I feel your pain... I think Porter Cable should have not been so cheap and included both sizes! Anyway, to answer your question, I bought the 1/4-inch collet on amazon, and I believe the shipping was free.

No idea - sorry. First router I ever bought was a craftsman and had the same problem - could accept any accessories. Stick with Porter-Cable

Hi Debra,The Porter cable 75182 router comes with only a 1/2" collett. I have a couple Porter Cable 690 routers that have both 1/2" and 1/4" colletts and it appears that the 1/4" collett will fit the 75182 router, though I have not tried it since I use the 75182 in my router table and only use 1/2" router bits. Your question intrigued me so I just went into my shop and tried the 1/4" collett on the 75182 router. It does fit so it will be able to use 1/4" router bits. I assume that Porter Cable believes, because of the size and weight of this 75182 router, that users will use 1/2" bits and consequently, they do not include the 1/4" collett with it. I hope this answers your question. Hi Debra,The Porter cable 75182 router comes with only a 1/2" collett.

Is there like a 1/2" replacement collet for this router and/or a an extension or an adapter?

I put one in a Porter Cable. It was easy to install and much easier to use than the valve than came with it. Wish I knew if it fit your unit but I don't.

Yes it should take either nicad or lithium. Most all Porter Cable tools accept either. Hope I was helpful.

I do not know. - It is best visiting the "Porter-Cable " website under "customer support".I hope that will help.....

The porter cable will fit. The table had a standard bolt pattern so most routers will work with it. You may need to use your own screws for some models but those are readily available from your local hardware store.

Porter-Cable, Part #42999, is a 1/4" collet that should fit your router. Good for any 1/4" shank router bit. Amazon sells them.

Hi Ross, I've done a bit of research and went the actual Bosch website and did not see Porter Cable as one of the compatible manufacturers. I don't necessarily believe it won't work though. If I were you, I would buy it, try it and if it doesn't work it's always easy and free to return with Amazon because they email return labels. Ps, here is a link to the Bosch page I mentioned. http://www.boschtools.com/Products/Accessories/Pages/BoschAccessoryDetail.aspx?pid=OIS001Best of Luck,Alan LAlan L
