I am looking at this Bosch palm router for a certain application (high
speed spindle for a CNC milling machine).

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000ANQHTA -- Bosch PR20EVSK palm router

And my question is, are there collets for 1/8" shank tools, that would
be compatible with this palm router.

Thanks

For one thing, Bosch may not give a complete answer--they can tell you
if they make one but if you don't luck into the right guy you may not
find out about third party collets such as
http://www.precisebits.com/products/equipment/bosch_colt_collets_nuts.asp
or adapter bushings such as
http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/smarthtml/pages/bushing_ball_bearings.html.

I agree. But if the OP would have DAGS you wouldn't have had to the
work for him.

When you subsidize poverty and failure, you get more of both.

Adapter bushings for router colletts. I am not sure how close a tolerance
they have.

If you go the reducer bushing road, assume they are going to fail and
guard accordingly.

I tend to believe this.

My intended use of this Colt was as a high speed spindle for my CNC
milling machine.

The idea was taken from this pictu

I also have a Bosch 1613EVS router, but it seems to be harder to
mount.
