E,
The collets and collet nuts are interchangeable between the FT2000, FT2200, FT3000 and FT1700 routers.

Freud FT3000 collet?
Hi,
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?

Thanks,
I haven't been able to put my hands on the FT3000 yet so I couldn't confirm it myself - and the salespeople didn't have a clue...
So the eliminator chuck for the DW625 should fit it also?

E, if it fits your FT2000; and the collets and nuts are interchangeable then it should work fine.
E,
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.
