collet adaptor

[waterrat]

I have a Erbauer ERB210C router that I am fitting to a cnc router table, I want a collet that will allow me to use dremel bits for producing fine detail. Could anyone post a link for this part.

I don't know of an actual collet that you can use for this, but if it's any help, the shaft (shank?) on dremel bits is usually 3.2mm but some parts are smaller - so if you can find a collet that takes you that small, you're on a roll.

I personally use a Dremel with a router attachment a lot for small rebates and delicate work, so there's always the chance of getting one of those generic Dremel compatible multitools (I have an old black and decker "Wizard" that is going on and on) - You can get one for £20 odds, and the router attachment is also fairly cheap, so possibly all in for £50 odds. Might even be cheaper than some specialist collet for a full sized router?

I have the Black and decker version, but I think it's been discontinued.

Thanks to anyone who was interested in my post, I managed to find a suitable fix for my needs, it is an adapter collet that steps down from 1/4" to 1/8" (6.35mm to 3.2mm).

Any chance you could share a link / price? I have a lot of dremel stuff that may be handy to adapt to my router table once it's set up.
