It comes with a 1/4 collet, but I can't find anything to use that with. Suggestions?

I'm not sure what your trying to use with it. I use bits designed for side cutting.

There are two different sizes of collets for this drill - 1/8" and 1/4". Be careful when getting rotozip bits as they also come in 5/32" bits. BTW, this is a great drill!

The 1/4 collet is for the bigger bit used primarily for cutting out doors and windows where drywall covers them.

I have only had luck using DeWalt bits. I tried some RotoZip bits but they are too big. I haven't tried anything else, so someone but have had better luck with some other bit.

No, Router bits for1/2" has a larger diameter shaft/shank which is 1/2" and uses 1/2" collet. If you desire to use 1/4" router bit which has a 1/4" diameter shaft/shank, than you need to change the collet to accommodate a 1/4" bit. Is money well spend to have a 1/4" collet.

Hello Randal, if your tip has a collet use the straight non headed pins. Likely the headed pins wont fit. Check to be sure which pins you need. I keep both kinds on hand. I actually had to braze one on an older die set. Let me know how u come out.

A 1/2" router can accept a 1/4" collet, not vise versa (as far as I know). Your router can use either a 1/4" or a 1/2" shank bit. You need the collet to make that happen. 1/2" shank router bits use the 1/2" collet. Unscrew the collet nut from the router and remove. Replace with the 1/4" collet and use your 1/4" shank router bit of choice. I have the same router and purchased the 1/4" collet from Amazon. Changing collets isn't difficult. It's like changing the nozzle on a water hose... or something like that.

Karl, you will need the Dremel 4486 Quick Change Collet. The 4486 collet is used with the Dremel 4000. The 4486 accepts all accessory bits with 1/32" to 1/8" shanks. Good luck. Jim D.

Melissa,You will need a router with a 1/2" collet. A router greater than 3hp or better is best.

look for an adaptor from 1 1/4" too a 2" just remember a class one has a much less load range than an Item that takes a class 2

Short answer is yes - When I bought my router it had both a 1/4" and 1/2" collet. I lost the 1/4" collet and needed to replace it - so that I could use bits with a 1/4" shank.

You could get a bigger collet, but I'd recommend replacing the original w/ Dremel 4486 MultiPro Keyless Chuck. ($8.13) (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000302ZV/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) I love mine & it will accommodate most Dremel accessories.

Although then thread are the same your best bet is to check with techinal services @ Porter Gable. Collet consist of 2 pieces captive on 1 side inseparable.

Hi, I have the same grinder and have never had that problem. If you haven't done this already, remove the collet completely, check for any burrs inside and try your bit in it off the grinder. If it still doesn't fit, perhaps the bit isn't the right size? All the 1/4 inch burrs I've bought have worked well in mine. Sorry I can't be of more help.

You need an adapter to 1 1/4" but this is the best way to go. Then you can use it with both sizes.

I have looked for and did not find a 1/4 inch chuck that will fit this tool. I do not think it would be advisable to use 1/4 inch bits on this tool as it lacks the power needed to turn them under load.

I honestly do not know the size of the collets I have....there are a lot as I have also bought some off brands. But I had no trouble fitting the router bits. Collets can be purchased separately or in those variety attachment kits.

If you can find a 1/8 inch collet for it. Most routers only come with 1/4 inch collets
