How much does a Muscle Chuck add to the length of the collect?

Let me just add that in my opinion the MUSCLECHUCK is one of the greatest improvements in router technology probably since routers were invented. All three of my 1/2" routers have MUSCLECHUCKS. Their grip is several times that of a standard collet chuck and only requires a half turn of a 4mm, preferably ball ended Allen key to secure and release the bit.

Bob according to what I've read you'll need one for every size that isn't 1/2" but I could be wrong. With any other router you usually get a 1/4 and/or 1/2 (in North America) and any other size requires a bushing.

Bob, a Musclechuck adds 5/8" and there is an extended version of the Type 1 that is longer. 1/2" is not 12 mm and you need a bushing to use 12 mm bits in the Musclechuck; this bushing is high precision and made in the USA.

Bushings are available in a wide range of sizes both Imperial and metric.
