Hi, I´m totally new in the CNC world but I´m about to finish my first router table, its has a 130cm x 60cm table. I will mostly be cutting soft woods and foam.
I will be using 1200w Einhell router like this on the table:
But the thing is, it only has 8mm and 6mm collet but I want to use router bits down to 1/8" or maybe even 2mm...
I think I would like to use the ER11 chunk for those small bits...
I have found some ER11 Colllet extension with 8mm shank but im not sure if that is what I need. Is it safe to use such an extension straight into my routers 8mm collet? (Maybe it´s a dumb question, but putting a collet into another collet, just doesn´t sound right to me ) Or should i rather use some adapter collets?
All help would be appreciated!
Here is a pic of my machinery and the first test
