Hi, I asked this question in the "Wanted to buy" section of the forum, but didn't get a good solution yet. I'm reposting it here in the hope that someone will have an answer, I hope that is ok.
My router is an Australian brand small router with 1/4" bore. I have 1/4" tools but I also have a lot of Dremel etc 1/8" specialty bits. These measure in shank size from about 3.05mm to 3.30mm, I guess the 1/8" is a bit relaxed with some manufacturers.
Is there an easy/cheap solution to allow me to use these 1/8" bits in my 1/4" router? The collet in my router is about an inch long and has a tapered section on the front third of it's length.
Something that would be ideal (to my mind) would be like a little Dremel chuck that could take the 1/8" bits (and even 3/32" bits) and the rear of the chuck would be 1/4" to slide straight in my router.
So if anyone knows a solution like that, or can recommend something that would work please let me know.
