Is there half inch collet available or this router?

Mine came with a 1/4# and does not appear to be able to take the 1/2 inch or industrial bits. It is great for small projects but not larger or more commercialize work. I hope this helps.

Thanks, this is what I thought, but just wanted to see if by chance that the 1/2 inch was abailable. All of my bits are 1/2 inch shank. Thank You Tagwatts1

I am using it with skill router model 1823 but I think most of brands can be use (6" foot with three bolts).

The way this item was advertised was as an exceptionally powerful router, which in reality it is not. It is such that I am not using it since the router supplied by the ISP is more powerful than this item. I don't think it will solve your problem specially if your home is built of concrete. The item I received is a plain Belkin N600 Router

As far as I can tell the height adjustment has to be made below the table. Changing bits can be done in with the router in the table.PS I like the router a lot and have never come close to overloading it. I looked at the competition and this was by far the best deal.

No and that's the problem - the router I had did not fit the mounting so I returned it. Word to the wise...

No this router is 1/4 Inch only. There actually is not enough horsepower to use bigger cutters.

I use the Freud RTP1000 (also have the RTS5000 - a little bigger with working height bast, whereas the RTP1000 is a compact table top sytem with folding legs). It works well... The above the table height adjustment is standard fair, being about the same as with my PC routers). I usually take the base out for bit changes, and can fine tune the height by unlocking and twisting the body of the router motor. Works good for me.

Disregard my previous answer. I have the Skil Router and thought that is what I was answering the question about. Sorry about the mix up. I have no idea what size shank the B&D router takes but it should say in the description of the item.

Yes but this bit is huge. You could get by a smaller one. This needs to be used with a router table.

only if the Router Attachment will take the standard stepped 1 3/16 guide insert (30.17mm)

It is an excellent router... have been using mine on a CNC router and 1/8" bits. I don't know if DeWalt offers a 1/8" collet, but I obtained a 1/8" collet from Precise Bits in Colorado... they have a kit which uses the same nut and comes with two collets 1/4" and 1/8." Precise bits is an outstanding company with great customer service, competitive prices and a wealth of information from chip loads to recommended speeds. http://www.precisebits.com/ Part no.DEEP-0611-83KIT

Hi Gary, There probably is an edge guide available for this router because the slots are built into the base for the guides. There aren't slots in the fixed base however, just the plunge base.

That sounds right. The router itself is much smaller than those dimensions.

I ordered the 1/4 inch collet when I ordered the router. Works great. Router works great too.

The base of my Craftsman is 6", I have no idea what the base would be on a plunge router I suspect that that would depend pm the Mfg.

Any regular size router will work. the small hand held routers or extra large commercial grade routers will not. The tray that the router sits in is very accommodating and the butterfly nuts tighten clamps along a slot to allow a great amount of flexibility when mounting a router.It would be easier to use a plunge router like Mark Mauldin recommends, but it is not a requirement. I used a very old fixed base craftsman router to make my first pantograph project here https://plus.google.com/100153530189840776548/posts/3UJkfbu4UCs You judge for yourself how well it works.

The adjustment device doesn't care- my router that I use it with takes either 1/2" shanks or, with a collet insert, 1/4".
