    Bosch Colt router and 1/8" collet

    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

    horrible runout

    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 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.
