8mm collet for DW621k ?

[dlowry_uk]

Anyone know if such a thing exists? 621k spec lists the chuck capacity as 6-8mm, but I haven't been able to find an 8mm collet online so far.

Thanks
Drew

Just found one by Trend at www.powertooldirect.co.uk - i'd been searching for Dewalt spares only.

I use 8mm collets in my DW621's all the time, particularly with the long dovetail cutters for the Leigh jig. They allow less flex in the cutter shank, therefore a cleaner cut and less chance of snapping.

I just get them from my local power tools shop.

Cheers

Hi Drew

I have a DW621K and only use the 8mm collet. I got mine from Toolshopdirect and, interestingly, whilst it has a DW part number it is described as a Trend Collet.

Cheers
