Are people using 1/4 shank bits in the makita router or a collet to hold the smaller 1/8 or 1/16 dia. cutter? ---

If the bit you’re interested in is only available in a 1/8" shank then you can use a 1/8 collet. Elaire has collets for the Makita. > **[Makita Style Router Collets - Elaire Corp](http://elairecorp.com/makitaroutercollets/)** > > Standard Collet for Makita Routers; RT700C, RT0700CX3, RT0701C, RP0900K, 3621, 3621A I haven’t seen any 1/16" collets for the Makita though. ---

Thank you, I was wondering who made a good collet for the makita.
