Hi to all forum users. I am about to finally have time to start playing with my routers. I purchased a new Craftsman router and was going to table mount it, but it is so versatile, that I decided not to. I also have an older Bosch 19054 (0601905439) router that is in real nice condition. I would like to table mount it, but here is my problem: 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  | ||

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. ======= Quote:

Thanks to all who has responded. I managed to find a 1/2" Collett for the old Bosch. | ||
