Review on πŸ”§ Optimized Router Collet - Big Horn 19691 1/4" - A Superior Replacement for Dewalt 326286-04, Bosch 2610906283 & Hitachi 323-293 by Mike Larkin

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The collet I received was difficult to true and broke three bits even when true.

Bought for my CNC router, the first thing I noticed is the bits don't center perfectly in the collet, the V-bit tip wobbles when I don't loosen it and re-do it try, this usually focuses on the second try. Since I recently bought this collet, three expensive carbide bits have broken off, oddly enough the bits broke at the top, above the collet, I've never had that with any other collet. Another one broke today. I don't know if I just got a faulty collet but I won't be replacing it again with this brand as I've lost over $100 worth of bits, I don't want to risk it.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
