Strictly guessing, you might check for a seperate collet designed for 1/2
inch shanks. A Portal Cable router I've used has seperate collet's for
each shank size, maybe that Black & Decker unit has the same.

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??
