I ordered one from a tool repair shop, the delivery was going to be a couple of weeks. Amazon was the first source that came up. I have several Milwaukee routers and several Porter Cable. I thought I'd see what I could find online as I could always use a spare. I ordered the collet and it was in my hands - in Candada mind you - in two days.The collet is great, but I'm really blown away by Amazon's service. The Milwaukee's have much less runnout than the PC's. They seem to run a little quieter too.I needed a 1/4" collet, no one had one in town.
it's a 1/4" collet it is what it is - it works as expected - can't get overly excited.
It works well as do all milwaukee products. I needed the 1/4" collet for my 3 1/2 hp milwaukee for some of the smaller bits I use.
Just a warnning do not use this collet for prolonged time because the prior collet shatter after prolonged use when removing a bit. This item appears well made and functioned well for the limted time of usage since purchase.
I was quite nervous about reversing the piece without damaging the brand-new parts, but they are basically pressure-fitted, and can be removed and reinstalled with a pair of (strong) bare hands.Now it works fine, although I find installation of bits more of a nuisance than with my Bosch router. Like another reviewer's, my collet was shipped from the factory assembled improperly, with the collet inserted backwards in the locking nut. Ridiculous.
