The third standard handheld collet size is 8mm (thank the germans for that). you could either get a new 8mm collet for the router or for cheaper get a 1/2" to 8mm reducing sleeve from a good tool stockist or ebay... the sleeves are unversal. the collets are not...

good luck

How do you change the bit on a black and decker 5/8 router

in wood. The tool consists of a motor that drives a cutting bit; the bit spins quickly and cuts the wood. The router can be moved horizontally through the wood to form a desired shape, and the type of edge on the shape is determined by the design of the router bit. Different edge designs can be cut by changing bits. It is very easy to change the bit on a Black & Decker router.

Step 1 Turn the router off and ensure that it is disconnected from the power supply. Wait for the router bit to cool down if it was recently used.
Step 2 Detach the chip shield from the back of the face plate.
Step 3 Depress the spindle lock button on the side of the router and rotate the spindle until it locks.


Step 4 Turn the router upside down and place it on a flat surface.
Step 5 Keep the spindle lock button depressed and loosen the collet nut that holds the bit with the spanner wrench. The collet is the device on the router that holds the bit in place.
Step 6 Remove the bit and insert the shank of the new bit into the collet. The shank should protrude at least 1/8" from the collet.

Step 7 Keep the spindle lock button depressed and tighten the collet nut with the wrench.
Step 8 Release the spindle lock button. Reattach the chip shield.

I have a B&D Router KW850E. It has collars and collet nut to take bits with 1/4 inch and 5/16th's shank. Can I get a collet nut and collar for 12mm or 1/2 inch?

probably not as the shanks of the router bits fit in the spindle shaft of the router which is around 1/2" dia
could always talk with manufacturer as to find an adaptor or like bit of equipment

Router bits wont fit on my router collet nut is to small.

The two sizes (in the US) for router bit shanks (and collets) are 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch. Some routers use only a 1/4 inch collet. Routers with a 1/2 inch collet also come with a 1/4 inch collet. You need a 1/2 inch collet to hold a 1/2 inch shank. Good luck.

What size speakers are in the doors


  • The factory speakers are 6x9 BUT the magnet on the factory speakers are much smaller than on aftermarket, higher quality 6X9 speaker making it almost certain the window will not roll down after installing an aftermarket 6X9.

  • Most go with a 6X5 because they are a bit smaller and there is a wider variety of them. Where ever you go to purchase that speaker. make sure the measurements are taking real well if going with another 6x9. There is always the option of the factory 6x9 but a nice aftermarket will fit in there so long as you mind the size.

  • If you have any comments please feel free to leave them here.
  • Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.

Trying to mount blinds in kitchen, walls plaster over carstone. as soon as we hit carstone masonry drill stopped in its tracks!! less than half inch into wall!! really need to be at least quarter inch...

Is there a space between the back of the drywall and the stone? Or is the drywall tight to the stone? Either way, you need a masonry bit, I hope you have one, a hammer drill would be real nice, but you can muscle through it without one. You can try a smaller bit as your first cut , then go to the next size. Makes it a lot easier to drill. If there was a space behind the drywall, they make all kinds of fasteners for drywall only, they will hold quite a bit, but might not be enough for blinds that are going to be yanked on.

Ive got a kenzo router and the router bits do not fit . ive got quarter inche cutters and when the collet is done up tight the cuters are still not tight. its not a half inch router as ive measured it. any...

Your router bits must have a 6mm shaft, whereas your router with the collet closes down on a 1/4" or 6.4mm shaft. You will need to get a metric collet for your router spindle, or get a new set of 1/4" bits

How does one change from one collet size to another size. My Freud router came with the 1/2" collet installed and I need to change to the 1/4" size supplied with the router to fit a bit I want to use....

I just did this on my black and decker router. You need to unscrew the nut that holds the collet and remove it altogether. Then slip out the collet in there and replace it with the new size. Take care to notice how it goes in when you take the old one out. Then rescrew the nut that holds it in place and tighten. My router had three collets and only one of them works for each size, so if it doesn't tighten properly, it may be the wrong size. Good luck.
