The Festool SZ-D 6,35/OF 1000 Precision Collet is a genuine Festool routing accessory engineered to securely clamp router cutters with a 6.35mm (1/4 inch) diameter shank in compatible Festool routing machines. Whether producing precise grooves, decorative edge profiles, rebates, joints or detailed woodworking components, the quality and condition of the router's clamping system are essential. A correctly fitted collet ensures that the cutter is held firmly within the router spindle, providing the secure connection required for controlled, accurate and reliable high-speed routing. Unlike a conventional adjustable drill chuck, a router collet is a precision clamping component manufactured for a particular cutter shank diameter. As the locking nut is tightened, the collet compresses evenly around the cylindrical cutter shank, creating the gripping force needed to retain the cutter during operation. The Festool SZ-D 6,35/OF 1000 is supplied as a complete collet and locking nut assembly , making it particularly convenient when replacing an existing collet or preparing a compatible Festool router to accept 1/4 inch shank cutters. The matched components are designed to work together with the router's existing spindle system. Its dedicated 6.35mm clamping diameter allows compatible Festool routers to accommodate a wide selection of 1/4 inch shank cutters, providing greater flexibility when choosing suitable routing profiles and tooling for different woodworking applications. For professional carpenters, cabinetmakers, joiners and furniture manufacturers, this original Festool accessory offers an essential combination of accurate cutter clamping, dependable machine compatibility and straightforward cutter replacement .

Important Model Identification The original product designation is SZ-D 6,35/OF 1000 . Festool's current international product listing identifies manufacturer part number 488761 as SZ-D 6,35/OF 1010 . Both designations refer to the same manufacturer part number, 488761. When ordering, use the Festool part number and confirm compatibility with your specific router model. Important: 6mm and 6.35mm Are Not Interchangeable This collet is specifically designed for 6.35mm (1/4') router cutter shanks . A 6mm cutter shank is smaller than a 6.35mm shank. Although the difference is only 0.35mm, the two sizes must not be treated as interchangeable. Never attempt to clamp a 6mm cutter in this 6.35mm collet, or force a 6.35mm cutter into a 6mm collet. Incorrect collet sizing can result in inadequate clamping, component damage or dangerous cutter movement during operation.
