Review on CMT 796 001 00 Router Extension Collets by Kaveen Restoration

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nut and collet don't match well

My main problem is the threads sticking between the collet nut and the main shaft. They don't fit perfectly. A 27 mm wrench, which is quite large, is suitable for the nut. The key that came with my Triton router was too small. The adjustable wrench I have is also too small. I had to use pliers. Then, after milling, the milling cutter I used "got stuck in the collet. Even after completely removing the nut that should have completely disengaged the collet from the router, the router was still stuck. I had to turn the cutter back and forth. to free it from the jaws of the collet.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
