I'm hoping that someone can tell where I can find 1/2" shank, 1/8" or 3/16" diameter straight cutting bits.

Also, I'm using an older Hitachi M12V in my routertable and unfortunately, it only has a 1/2" collet. Does anyone know if there is a 1/4" collet available for this machine, and if so, where it would be available?

Thanks!

This adapter is cheap and has never slipped for me:

Thanks! I don't know why I didn't think of MLCS.
