HI andrevw


Mount the new Craftsman standard base in your router table and just use the 1/4" Bosch for your hand work jobs..most of the jobs you will do with the Bosch will use the 1/4" shank bits the norm..BUT you want the 1/2" one in the router table.

I only have a 1/4" collet for it, and I cannot seem to find the 1/2" that I need as most of my bits are 1/2". Does anybody on this forum have one, or know if the collets on the newer routers would fit the older Bosch? I spent hours on the web looking and cannot find it. E-replacement parts, list it as discontinued.
Any help / suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Andre
