Review on πŸ”Œ Bosch PR20EVS Router (2 Pack) 1/4 inch Collet Chuck Replacement # 2610008122-2PK by Ben Duncan

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Collet did not tighten

The old saying "buy once pay” is usually only used in relation to buying expensive things. Unfortunately, this is usually not the case when purchasing such maintenance items/small parts. It was the same with my purchase of these two packages. When I decided I'd rather not spend roughly the same amount on a single collet and opted for these two packs, I realized I was stupid for thinking this deal wasn't too good to be true be. As you can see from the picture, the replacement chuck/collet is smaller than the stock and although the chuck is "straight fit" (i.e. it bolts on) there are no collets coming off the posts at all. Not only are they much smaller, they are also thinner and have a very loose fit on the cartridge. I point out all this because the chucks quickly leak after installation, and the collets do not tighten at all and do not hold the cutter. I cannot in good faith recommend anyone to purchase these two packs and highly recommend purchasing a direct factory replacement which is available from the Bosch Amazon store.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
