Review on Whiteside Router Bits 6400 Diameter by Johnny Mcnealy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Where's my collet?

I loaned my new Kobalt 12 amp router and router table to a friend shortly after I bought a router table on a Black Friday sale. My friend assembled the table. Left the router with him until a few months later when I had room for it and wanted to try my first router project framing a bookshelf. Neither of us could locate the missing 1/4" collet. Called Kobalt customer service to order replacements. Called twice to record they were very busy due to limited staff due to the COVID-19 pandemic and at a different time had to call. On the 3rd call they got into a long line with numerous entries saying they were busy and continued to wait. The call later got disconnected. Went straight to Revain and found Whiteside Router Bits 6400 Steel Milling Collet in 1 /4" and 1/2" ID. - inch OD Exactly what I needed to replace one in a Kobalt router. Ordered immediately. Order confirmation said delivery in 3 days. Collet arrived 1 day earlier on! "clamping nut. Very well made product. Thanks to fast delivery I was ready for my first milling project. Lesson Learned: Before completing a project, always make sure the collet is securely seated in the collet nut so it stays in place for the next project.

Pros
