router collet

[sparkus88]

I need a new 1/2" to 1/4" collet for my triton tra001 but the only site I can find that sales them is out of stock. I need it fairly soon does anyone know where I could get one? Or is there a universal one I can get? I know there are others out there but they usually say 'for use with XXXXX' which ever brand it, so I wasn't sure if it would be safe to use one designed for another router.

thanks

You don't say where you've looked but have you tried Tool Spares On Line?

Sorry I couldn't say as I've never used a reducer. I bought the complete collet assemblies in 1/4", 8mm and 1/2".

I found an xcaliber one on axminister and was buying something else anyway so saved on the postage. thanks.

I'm looking at getting an axcaliber one too - what do you think of it so far?

It worked fine had no problem. But I found my missing collet a couple of days after the xcaliber arrived.
