Has anyone yet fidled with the collet and nut of the Freud FT3000 and FT2000?
I have the FT2000 and was just wondering whether I can utilize the existing collets with the new FT3000 version. It seems better suited for table use without extra accessories. Currently I have only one router (working) and removing it from the table is quite pita... I'd like to be able to use the collets (metric is default here) as my bits & collets are a mix of 1/2" 3/8" 1/4" 6mm 8mm & 12mm.
Or am I better of getting a new ft2000?
I think Mike is correct but can't say for sure that it will fit. I do know that the end of the motor shaft that receives the collet is identical between the router models.
