| Post subject: | Router Collet Question |
I acquired an older laminate trimmer. It works, but it's missing the collet. The data tag on it identifies it as a Bosch 91263. I contacted Bosch in hopes of getting some information at the very least, or a collet if I was really lucky. They had just one sentence for me. "We no longer support that model." Cruising Goggle I have found a couple of used tool sites that list it a Stanley and as a Skil, but no pictures and no other information. I know nothing about the particulars of the nature of collets other than they hold the bit in place. Do they have to be brand/model specific? Would another Bosch collet work? Think & Tinker has precision collets for Porter-Cable routers http://www.precisebits.com/products/equ ... s_nuts.asp that seem well worth the money. Their Bosch line is coming soon, though I don't think my laminate trimmer is going to be on their list. |

Lillian, Collets can be pretty generic. I would just take the trimmer down to your favourite tool store and try some on for size. You might find one that fits. Hope that helps. Danny |

Hmmm .. unless the collet taper is EXACTLY the right one, I would advise against using a non original one .... the last thing you need is a bit coming out at 25K rpm .... just because the threads fit doesnt mean the taper is right ... Spend a hundred bucks and buy a new PC 7310 or Bosch Colt .... |

Danny, I have the nut, just not the collet. Thanks Tony. That's what I ended up doing. I bought a Colt. I was dinking around in the shop the other day and saw the old laminate trimmer. It works, so it goes against my nature to just toss it. I was hoping that someone might know a bit more about it and maybe point me towards a parts supplier. Thanks anyway. |
