It says it comes with 1/4 inch and 12 mm collets. But the manufacture says it comes with 1/4 and 1/2 inch colltes. which is correct?

My unit came with the 1/4 and 1/2 inch Collete. I added a 3/8 inch Collete later which is handy.

The Triton is an excellent router which comes with both 1/4" and 1/2" collets. I would imagine the 12mm is just a misprint.

for most applicaions 12 mm is close enough to 1/2 inch to be substituted for 1/2 inch.. it is approximately 3 hundredths of an inch small than 1/2 inch.. all of my 1/2 inch router bits work fine in it.. I would not worry about the discrepancy, it is not enough of an issue to cause serious problems with the router.. I have used both the collets and have absolutely no problem with any bit I have used.

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

It turns out that both area correct. 1/2 inch is what the Colette really measures uncompressed, and it has 4 slots around the the circumference that measure about .040 inches each. That allows it to shrink from 1/2 inch (12.7mm) easily down to and a little below 12 mm.

I live in Texas and mine are 1/4" and 1/2". My owner's manual lists a 12mm for the EU and 12mm,8mm and 6mm for Japan. I would assume that you could purchase any size you needed.

I received the 1". I didn't inquire whether different sizes were available, I should have. I like it so much that I am going to order the 1 1/4" one. I sent a couple of ask the seller product detail inquiries this time. tomoDUCT has been the only one to respond (and very promptly). They carry both the 3/4" and 1 1/4", just have to let them know which one.

No only 1/4" in 1/4" collects. Now if this was a 1/2" collect you could both 1/4 with an adopt. Unfortunately this is only a 1/4" collect

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.

4mm is correct. the 1inch is probably for shipping concerns or because the form they were using only allowed inches and the smallest being 1" The product is actually only 4mm in thickness.

The basic kit comes with a 1/8 inch collet. The instruction manual says that you can buy three smaller sizes of collet--3/32, 1/16 and 1/32--separately. All the shanks in my kit are 1/8 inch.

Not 1/2 inch, but PreciseBit have a collet kit containing a 1/4, 3/16 and 1/8 sizes. Not up to 1/2".Carlos

They make one for each; the 2" and 1-1/4". You have to make sure you order the correct one

That is the wrong question. The question should be "can this mill use collets?" As I recall, mine was shipped with a set, so the answer must be yes. It's all in how you set it up. I mostly use the large jacobs chuck together with my set of end mills.

A 1/2" router can accept a 1/4" collet, not vise versa (as far as I know). Your router can use either a 1/4" or a 1/2" shank bit. You need the collet to make that happen. 1/2" shank router bits use the 1/2" collet. Unscrew the collet nut from the router and remove. Replace with the 1/4" collet and use your 1/4" shank router bit of choice. I have the same router and purchased the 1/4" collet from Amazon. Changing collets isn't difficult. It's like changing the nozzle on a water hose... or something like that.

Makita doe's make different size collets for this tool. Contact them at their customer service number and tell them your problem. I have this tool and it only came with one collet. I had to order another. I don't remember which one it came with but now I have a 1/8th and a 1/4 in. collet. It's a great tool for getting into tight places. Try taking the collet out and run some kind of a tapered punch or steel rod through the center hole. Maybe it's got a burr or the tangs need to be sprung open. The tool should have come with the 1/4 in collet.

collets are made by hornady to address those calibers (check out the hornady catalog or website), however unless there is something close to a cylindrical shape for the collet to grab, it will probably not work. cartridges with only ogive or roundnose sticking out of the case are likely to require an inertial bullet puller (the plastic hammer types that everybody makes).

mine came to me with six different colets if i want to use a larger diameter bit i just switch to a different collet. go to lowe's and buy some more collets. the cat man

It's been a while, but I think it is 12. Be sure to get the right size as the 5/8 and 1/2" are not compatible.

12 mm is actually 0.472441 inches. Very close but not quite 1/2 inch. Hope this helps.

no they are not 1/4 inch think.. I believe they are around 1.5-2 mm think.. Please check the specifications. This product is of very good quality . I just did my basement and the quality is exceptional .

a friend bought the 1 1/4 inch so that's what I got. Not sure of any other sizes.
