With my OF CNC set to arrive late this year, I’m trying to gather up parts and accessories that I know I’ll need some day. So, while searching for 1/8" collets for this Makita router, I’ve come up empty. Has anyone else out there located a compatible 1/8" collet cone for the RT0701C router? Or, a…

I’m coming up dry as well and my Google foo is usually pretty good. If no one has a source then we are at using a reducer. We definitely need 1/8 support as there are a lot of bits that only come with 1/8 shanks.

I was looking also today and came up with this [elairecorp] Makita Style Router Collets - Elaire Corp Standard Collet for Makita Routers; RT700C, RT0700CX3, RT0701C, RP0900K, 3621, 3621A

Nice! There you go, I think that’s the one. I was going to 3d print a reducer sleeve, but this is probably a little bit more accurate :laughing: . Thanks for sharing!

Only thing im wondering about is if you look at the bottom of that page, it says. "> Collets are compatible with the following routers; RT700C, RT0700CX3, RP0900K, 3621, 3621A

Yep, that’s the one I bought from Elaire. It works perfect. Confirmed.

Since you have it can you please tell us if it comes with a nut? Usually they do but it is shown without.

Not to be a cheap ass, but they want $8.95 to ship a collet, that’s crazy. i’m going to call them tomorrow and see if they are willing to give the forum sort of deal on shipping. A wise old Man told me once: “You don’t get in this life, what you don’t as for!” I’ll let you y’all know where I net ou…

Good looking out Alex. Did you get a price on the collet too?

I got the same one from Elaire, at @MyersWoodshop ’s recommendation, It shipped fast, arrived about a week after ordering. I ended up paying $33.25 USD with shipping; It arrived well packed in a box about 3" x 4" x 5".
