Duologi is the trading name of Specialist Lending Ltd, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (register number 774712). I'm not an expert on the different tool holding mechanisms (my equipment either has a chuck or an ER-32 collet), but the ER type collet is the type of geometry, with the number following it is the overall size.

Up cut bits are ideal for this as the upward direction of the flutes inhibits the build-up of debris which can either break or bind the bit.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.

Note that even if you can't hear ,or see it, any wobble does cause wear on both collet and bit shaft and tends to become worse and start affecting the "right" bits too.

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.

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. Damon's answer from 2016 correctly points out the easily overlooked dangers of using a router in this way.
