b&d cat no 7614 Type 3, 1 1/2 hp 9a.
Appears that the collet will take 1/4" shank ONLY!!!

I think the 1.5 hp might be good for certain work with .5" shank bits.

Any way to get these to take .5" shank??



Safely? No. You may find an extension, but spinning at 18,000 RPM, I'm
not going to be in the same room with it. Get yourself a good router, like
Bosch, Porter Cable, etc.
