Bosch Colt router and 1/8" collet

[alecu7]

Hi all,

I got a Bosch Colt router that takes only 1/4" collet. Is there an adaptor to use 1/8" collet as well? I have quite a few bits with 1/8" shank that I like to use it.

Thanks,
Alecu

Thank you Tom.
That's exactly what I'm looking for.

You will get horrible runout with bushings like that. Check with Ron Reed at PreciseBits.com - they make ultra precision collets for Porter Cable and have announced Bosh support including the Colt. Their website is now showing Bosch collets, but the link is not active yet...

I'll check into that too. Thanks James.

I know this thread is old but...
I found THESE for using 1/8" bits. They look like a middle of the road price and quality. The design is similar to the stock 1/4" collet.
