Precision clamping - The foundation of accurate routing A router collet is a precision clamping component that holds the shank of a router cutter inside the machine's spindle. As the locking nut is tightened, the collet contracts around the cutter shank, creating the gripping force needed to hold the cutter securely during operation. The Festool SZ-D 6/OF 1000 is designed specifically for cutters with a nominal 6mm shank diameter . Its clamping arrangement helps maintain secure cutter positioning and supports accurate machining when the router and cutter are in good condition and correctly operated. Unlike a conventional drill chuck with adjustable jaws, a precision router collet is manufactured for a specific cutter shank diameter. This makes selecting the correct size essential for safe and reliable operation. Important: A 6mm collet must only be used with suitable 6mm router cutter shanks. It is not interchangeable with a 6.35mm (1/4 inch) collet or an 8mm collet.
