Changing Router Collet at Linda Lampkin blog

Changing Router Collet. • a collet is the steel sleeve that holds a router bit in a router. The collet works with the router shaft (connected directly to the motor) and the collet nut. To change the collet, unscrew the nut and collet and remove it from the spindle. • collets are machined to perfectly mate with the tapered recess in the end of the shaft and to hold a router bit with just enough clearance to slip the bit in. Push out the collet from the nut and press in the new collet until it snaps in place. Screw the nut and collet onto the spindle, but keep it loose enough to insert the replacement router bit. On my bosch router, model 1617, the collet stays in the nut and each collet (i have both a 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch) have their own collets. In this short video, fine woodworking contributing editor roland johnson demonstrates how to use a quick change collet, putting an end to all those pesky wrenches for various routers strewn about your workshop drawers.
