Collets and Toolholders
In 2005, to encourage the growth of the emerging low-cost CNC woodworking market, we introduced precision nuts and collets for the most popular consumer grade routers including:

• Bosch 1600, 1610
• Bosch-Colt PR20, PR10
• Dewalt 611
• Hitachi M12
• Milwaukee 5610, 5620
• Rigid 2400
• Porter-Cable 450
• Porter-Cable 7500, 890, 690, 240

Way Too Cool Idea Award
At the beginning of 2011, a lot of Bosch-Colt routers appeared on the market with bore taper-angles different from units purchased earlier. This change resulted in a LOT of Bosch-Colt PR20EVS routers that were incompatible with our BOPG, BOHG and BOSG nut / collet system. We came up with all kinds of possible ways to address the problem, most of which would cost a LOT of money. Bill had other ideas. He had way too cool ideas.
