Just IN- Precision Collets for Porter-Cable Routers

[thinkntink]

Based on the ER20 architecture, our new 1/8" and 1/4" PC collet set brings spindle level precision and balance to consumer and commercial grade Porter-Cable routers. Reduced Total Indicated Runout (TIR), automatic collet extraction, more reliable tool retention, and improved balance allow Porter-Cable routers to be used with carbide microtools as small as 0.0156" dia. In other words, you can finally use a Porter-Cable to cut precision inlay for musical instruments, pool cues, and fine furniture.

Two grades of collets are available. PG (Precision Grade) collets have TIR < 0.0004". UP (Ultra-Precision grade) collets have TIR < 0.0002". This compares to measured TIR > 0.005" with original Porter-Cable collets. Oh, by the way. Our new 1/8" collets means that you can throw away that 3rd party collet adapter (that never worked anyway. OOOOOPPS! Did I say that out loud?). The 1/4" collet reduces tip wobble, allowing you to use your existing deep-reach router bits for deep 3D carving and profiling.

All PC nuts have TIR < 0.0004" and are balanced to G2.5 at 24,000 RPM. Better balance and reduced runout translate to cleaner cuts, longer bit life and less wear and tear on the router bearings.

Compatible with Porter-Cable 690, 690LR, 9690LR, 691, 693, 890, 891, 892, 893, 7518, 7519, 7536, 7537, 7538, 7539 routers

Very nice. I posted a link to these last week, but noone replied to it. I'll be buying two of these in the future, for sure.

I'll let you know how it goes Ger, I'll be seeing mine in a few days. I'll be posted an extended review soon.

Received mine today and very happy with them.

Very nice quality.

Thank you for the kind words. If you need help inserting the collet into the eccentric snap ring, give me a call @ 719-488-9640 or SKYPE me at "thinkntink".

I am working on a page for the website showing how to insert the collet in the nut and how to remove it.

Do they snap in like ER collets?

Hi Ron

I already called you today, I was the one that said I know nothing about collets. Thanks for the help.

Gerry I'm not sure about other collets, this one click into place after you insert it in the nut at an angle and turn and it clicks into place. Comes out the same way.

Sounds the same.

[thinkntink]

Yup. Click the collet in, twist it out. Just like ER series collets.

Let me know if it is at least passably understandable. Any comments would be most appreciated.

[LazyMan]

Im ready to order a set of them. Anyone else have some experience with them yet.

[ger21]

Got mine in the mail today. If the packaging is any indication, they'll be outstanding.
