    Router bits

    I'm looking at using a Die grinder rather than a Router for my machine. But either way, if the collet is 1/4" am i limited to router bits with a 1/4" shank? (i know i can't go larger)

    I like some of the engraving and small router bits available for the Dremel but don't want to actually use a dremel. Can these small bits be used with and adaptor? Seems there are very limited options for 1/4" bits other than straight router and V-bits.

    You can get 1/4" to 1/8" adapters.

    Most of the electric die grinders have 1/8 th collets available for them.

    Always preferable to a reducing sleeve if you can get it.

    If not a sleeve is the next best option.
