Looking for a router with 3/4" collet ?

[Argofanatic]

Any suggestions ?

All my searches return X-3/4 HP and not 3/4" collet capability.

Thanks in advance.

you probably mean a big spindle, right?

i have been in wood working for many years and have never seen a routewr you could hold in your hands with a 3/ inch collet

what would you want to machine with it?

You're looking at a 3-5HP spindle with an ER32 collet, and at least $3000.

Thanks for the replies.

I was pretty sure there was no such thing as a 3/4" router. I'm inquiring because I found a Whiteside 6" 3/4" spiral bit that meets my purpose (cutting 5" deep mortises). I'll look into spindles, but in the meantime has anyone ever seen a 1/2" spiral bit in the 6" length range ? Is it possible to have some made or just bite the bullet and get a spindle.

Thanks again.

Thanks Gerry.

A pass-by bit, neat.
I knew someone around here would have the answer for me.
