cheap quick change collet for 1/4 in UK?

[adamchapman]

I saw a product called the "eliminator chuck" on youtube ([nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDy0xeiq08g"]YouTube- Eliminator RC Quick Change Chuck Review[/nomedia])

I haven't managed to find a UK supplier of even if they make a version for a 1/4 inch router.

If anyone knows of a similar product that is cheap please make me aware of it.

I have a Trend T4 router and the spindle thread is about 15mm diameter.

Thanks

Even if there was a supplier abroad and it was chep enough I'd buy one.

Perhaps there are other products similar to this that I dpn't know the names of

I bought this one on EBAY from WIDGET for less than 16 USD.

Rotozip 2610922300 Three Jaw Keyless Chuck

It works great. Just have to watch that the ring doesn't rub on your work.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Is it this one: http://www.widgetsupply.com/page/WS/...tozip/SFE5-RKC ?

on that page they mention using a wrench to tighten the chuck.

I don't quite understand how this works. Do you need to use a wrench to fix the router bit in securely, or do you tighten it by hand?

Also can I ask what rotational speed you have run your at wothout trouble?

Ive just come across this http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...00#reviewsWrap

which looks like it could be used in automatic tool changing, although I don't know if it's built for a 1/4 or 1/2 inch router

That is the one I have. I have run it at 30krpm with no problem. I haven't had to do more than hand tighten yet, but I have had to use the wrench to loosen.
