Need Help! Collets for DeWalt Trim Router - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

I need collets for DeWalt Trim Routers. My router has model number of D26670 and I think that DeWalt Service only has 1/4" collets. I need 1/8" and maybe 3/16" collets that fit my trim router. Any suggestions? What about quick-change collets? What about drill chucks with 1/4" shafts?

When we need to drill really small holes, we built an adapter with the necessary shank size for the collet and a set screw to hold the drill bit in place. Cheap and dirty solution, but it works, and you can make them any size you need. If you have a lathe that is.

By the way we're running a 4' x 8' x 6" gantry router. 3.5 hp porter cable 10,000-21,000 rpms; with .25, .375, and .500 collet sizes. We have a build thread under the DIY section under med-pac's new machine.
