About this deal

As a one-time kludge, ok, maybe, but even then you might want to get another collet and keep track of which one you are abusing. You must be mindful of this when using up cut bits and be careful to avoid implementing damage to your project. Manufactures specify the "clamping range" for the collets, and many times imperial and metric do overlap.

You can hardly tell a difference with the naked eye, and the bits will fit in "just fine" either way. Furthermore I invite you to throw some calipers on a range of 1/4" shanks to see how sloppy the tolerances on them are and most likely you have already put a "6mm" shank in your collet. The Draper RB26 4 Piece Extra Long Router Bit Set includes1/4" and 1/2" shank extra long router bits with TCT heads especially for use with extra thickness laminate used by kitchen fitters. The bit isn't going to have a sufficiently firm, safe grip, and you cannot be sure whether you have structurally damaged the collet by bending the little clamps too harshly.This is because the upward direction of the flutes prevents debris from collecting, which can result in the binding or breaking of the bit.

The spinning action of router cutters allows for the design and creation of shapes within a variety of materials. My Makita 3709 has only one collet and the instructions booklet say that it's valid both for 6mm AND 1/4" bits. Because of this, though, the user needs to be mindful of the bit overheating, which can lead to breakage.

A slower feed rate is required with down cut bits as this allows more time to evacuate chips and for them to be cut into smaller pieces that fall from the slot. This is achieved via a spiral action that pulls both sides into the centre of the bit, ejecting out of the side. We offer an unbeatable selection of router cutters, From CraftPro to the trade and professional ranges.

Our UK straight router cutters come in a wide range of sizes allowing you to accurately cater to your project. However, using an imperial bit in the corresponding (well, almost corresponding) metric collet is dangerous both during the operation and when using the collet with your 6mm bits as intended afterwards. Simply put router collets are designed on the same principle as a drill chuck that accepts different size bits.

The purpose of a down cut router bit is to create a crisp edge around the hole it’s cutting so you get a good finish at the top of the cut. If you are unlucky, the whole thing blows to smithereens at 25k RPM with shrapnel flying all over the place and the bit come off flying in a random direction.

What happens is that you irreversibly widen your collet by a tiny amount (too small to see, but certainly enough to be on the dangerous side). Kitchen Fitter's, Five Piece Cutter Pack Pack includes five 1/2 inch x 50mm cut length worktop cutters. The OP does not have a "trim" router but a "compact" router by Performax which does provide 1/4" and 3/8" collet capacity.

While the chips are being removed, the bit can also fray the wood fibres at the top of the cut, which leads to damage. There is a bit of tolerance, so you can certainly fasten the screw harshly enough to do those extra 0.
