Since using 1/2" to 1/4" and 1/2" to 8mm reducers and also using small diameter 1/4" router bit I have found what I think is a solution to them falling down inside the router spindle when using a router table.
I got some "O" rings that are a tight fit on a 1/2" shaft and put them near the end of the reducers so they don't fall into the router spindle. If I get some 1/2" shank straight bits with diameters 1/2" or less I will try them on them too, this will also make it easy to have them go into the collet the right distance.
I am going to get some even smaller ones and put them on the 1/4" router bits with diameters of 1/4" and smaller so they don't fall in either.
Using them on the reducers they don't fly off or move at all, so I can't see a problem with them on the router bit shanks either, anyone else do this?
