Questions & Answers

Are you familiar with Black and Decker?

My understanding of your question is that it will fit any router with a 1/2" collet. If you mean "will it fit a Black and Decker router" then yes. In order to use this adapter, you simply slide it into the 1/2" collet, insert the 1/4" shank router bit, and All that's required is to say "thank you.".

Would it be possible to send this to Saudi Arabia?

I'm sorry, I just wanted to say hello. Right now I cannot sell to Saudi Arabia through Amazon because it doesn't offer shipping to Saudi Arabia.

Thanks for visiting. The router I use has a 1/2" collet on a Freud ft2000e. Does this fit into the sleeve so I can attach 1/4" bits to it?

Yes, it is. This is placed in place of the 1/2 bit, and the 1/4 bit is inserted next. Using the 1/4" and 8 mm version of this in my router was convenient. IMO, it is a lot easier to use than switching collets, and it holds the bit better.

The one I have is for 1/4 routers and I need a way to use 1/2 milling cutters. Will this adapter work for me? Do you mind if I say thank you?

Thank you for your message, but it didn't work for you. A 1/4 cutter can be used with a 1/2 router by using the adapter. Thanks for visiting.

Is my collett where I expected it to be? I lent my new Kobalt 12 amp router and router table to a friend after I bought the router table on Black Friday
5/5

Assembling the table was done by my friend. Eventually, I took the router back when I had some wall space and a need for it, because I wanted to get a sense of how it worked by using it on a bookshelf. The 1/4" collett was never found by either of us. Kobalt customer service was contacted to order the replacement part. The recording stated that the COVID-related issue was very busy and they didn't have many employees In all other calls, I was told to call some other time due to the 1918 pandemic. On my third call, I entered the long queue with various messages indicating that they were busy. After the call was terminated, the connection was lost. When I went to Amazon, I found Whiteside Router Bits 6400 Steel Router Collet with 1/4" hex head The inside diameter is 1 inch and the outside diameter is 1/2 inch Outside diameter is in inches. My Kobalt router needed a new one, so I bought this one. The order was placed right away. I was told that my order would arrive in 3 days. We surprised the collett by arriving a The collett nut for the 1/2" rod was a perfect fit in the 1/2" Kobalt socket. With the fast delivery of this product, I was able to get started on my first router project very quickly. I learned the following lesson It is always imperative to make sure that the collett is snug in the collett nut before you finish a project, so it remains there for your next task.

I found it to be a perfect fit for my craftsman router
5/5

The fact that I had little knowledge of what I needed made me hesitant to buy. I figured there was no reason to return it, because I knew I could ship it back if it wasn't the right part. I was very happy with how well it fit in my router. The parts I ordered online fit my remote perfectly and I used it all day yesterday without any problems. Also, I went to my large hardware store on Saturday in search of this part and they did not have it. In search of this part, Mr. Salesman opened a brand new box. Apparently, the new routers do not come with this adapter? Regardless of whether I purchased a new router or not, I would still need this part in order to use it. I don't know what's going on.

I bought a MuscleChuck quick change collet, but forgot how to use the adapter, so I have had to switch to using one of my other routers for 1/4" shaft bits since the MuscleChuck makes installing and removing the bit awkward
5/5

This adapter enabled me to use 1/4" shaft bits in my MuscleChuck, which gave me a lot more flexibility. When I pressed the adapter into place, I found it to be a good, solid fit, which indicates the outer machining was excellent. The 1/4" shaft bit was inserted into the adapter as well as the adapter was installed. With this adapter, I was able to install the 1/4" bit I was using just fine after tightening the chuck. Because it's collared, it's very easy to remove and install. When removing it to run a half inch shaft, the collar prevents it from going in too far and provides a place to hold on when removing it.

It does the job that it has been designated My router table only has a 1/2 inch collet and I have several 1/4" bits for trim routers
5/5

This allows me to also use those bits with my router in my router table which only has a 1/4" In comparison with buying additional pieces with 1/2" shanks, buying the adapter makes more sense. I think it's well made and does its job.

Very well done! The collet fits perfectly thanks to the machined surface
5/5

In order to replace the one I lost from my older Ryobi R500 router, I wanted to get the Whiteside collar. A universal reducer fits most routers that take a 1/2" to 1/4" bit shaft reducer, so I believe it would work with most. part was machined nicely, and it works exactly like the original factory part. I would buy another in the event that I lost this one as well.

Everything seems to be working fine
5/5

I was very pleased with the results. A reducer collet came with my craftsman router but I've since lost it. A universal one would save me $60. I almost paid $60 for a direct replacement before realizing I could use it with The 1/4" bits I use have never caused me any problems.

This is exactly how it should work
5/5

I have been able to use 1/4" shank router bits without issue now. The clamp holds on to the bit nicely and keeps it securely in place. As I have built guitar bodies, I have used it with multiple router bits and it has never slipped. There is no doubt in my mind that it is worth your time.

If you need a refund and your part did not work, this is the place you want to go
4/5

I thought I'd give it a try since I read another positive review from someone who purchased it for their Delta Shaper. As far as appearance and feel are concerned, I would say this product is My router bits could not be grabbed with enough force without slipping. I have a shaper that will get into a 1/2" bit but I can't get it to work in my machine because it has a Delta collet, which is a 43-way Delta. The 505 T1 is the first part of the chain. It is important to remember there are also T2- and T-a shapers in this group In spite of the fact that it worked with others, it did not with my own. When I returned it, I was amazed at how quickly I received a refund, and I would like to thank you! It was the service from Anchor Fasteners that earned the four star rating. We do business with them because they are good people.
