Remember that in most routers, the collet and the collet nut forms a unit. The collet nut has a retainer clip inside and the collet has a lip that clicks into this clip inside the collet nut.

[Thus DO NOT [NEVER] in the following order: (1) insert the collet first into the router shaft, (2)then the Collet nut and (3) then the Router bit.]

THIS IS WRONG. First click the collet into its collet nut and then insert it into the shaft. Removing the router bit after tightening will be impossible.

Explaining the Specifications:

• (d) » The diameter of the shank or shaft. This size should be the same as the collet size of your router. Example: a small router is mostly supplied with a quarter inch collet that is 6,35 mm inside diameter.
• (B) » The length of the cutting edge of the router bit
• Common collet sizes:
  • 1/4' collet = 6,35mm inside diameter
  • 8mm collet = 8mm inside diameter
  • 12mm collet = 12mm inside diameter
  • 1/2' collet = 12,7mm inside diameter
  • NOTE that the 12mm and the 12,7mm (1/2') sizing are often misunderstood. 1/4 inch is not 6mm but exactly 6,35mm. A 6mm shank will not fit in a 1/4 in collet. Wrong sizes will either break the collet or the bit will fall out.
• TCT = Tungsten Carbide Tipped
• Allways stay in the MAX Speed range of router bit
