1/2" collet for 1/2" nut,ect

There are two nuts and two collets. One collet is 1/2" and the other
is smaller but bigger than 1/4". sigh

lol

You need a book on the basics of getting to know the router in detail

Unless its a 3/8" collet which also comes with most 1/2" routers.

Looking closely at the (no collet) pic it would seem you have a collet
within a collet?

And if I'm right then you have 3 collets ie 1/2",3/8" and 1/4"
