Bosch 1/2 router collet

[Doug Jones]

After picking up the Bosch 1617PK router kit at Lowes for $100, I need to get the 1/2" collet. Where is the best place to find this? Also will any other brand of collet fit the Bosch? As of now the only place I know to get it, is straight from Bosch.

Thanks for any help, Doug

The kit should have come with the 1/2"-collet so contacting Bosch directly might get it for free.
I don't know of any others that fit it, nor would I try it. Better to have the right parts in something that spins at 23,000 RPM! Call me chicken...
