FULL DESCRIPTION
A router collet extension is perfect to use when an increased height of router bits is needed on router tables, routing jigs or router bases. This extension gives 50mm of additional height and allows you to easily change router bits above your router table. Simply insert the extension into your 1/2" router, then insert the router bit into the 1/4" or 1/2" ER20 collet and secure it by tightening the collet nut using the supplied spanner.

The extension is supplied with standard 1/4" & 1/2" multi slit ER20 engineering collets which fully grip around the router bit shank for safer routing with less vibration. The collet is made from heat treated precision ground spring steel which gives a runout accuracy of less than 0.01mm. The 1/4" collet has been specifically designed to grip over a 1mm range from 6.5mm down to 5.5mm meaning both 1/4" imperial and 6mm metric shank router bits can be used in the extension. The 1/2" collet has been designed in the same way to grip over a range from 13mm down to 12mm meaning both 1/2" imperial and 12mm metric shank router bits can be used. The extension body has been precision machined from a single piece of high-quality steel which has been computer balanced to minimize vibrations to ensure the extension and therefore router bit will run perfectly true.

The precision machined body alongside the ER20 collets are the ideal combination to give extra height to your router bits while maintaining complete accuracy. The extension has a 1/2" shank and an overall length of 90mm. ©

I was tempted to buy one of these from Amazon for half the price but as it's going in the router and spinning rather fast I thought it better to trust Rutlands rather than something from Amazon.

Out of the box it's a weighty item and feels very good quality. It certainly performed well when used. I have a box joint jig so needed a little extra height on the router bit however it will also help with the bowl/tray router bit I bought last month but am yet to try

I bought this item as I needed to

I bought this item as I needed to safely cut a deep rebate for some double glazed window frames. I had already tried an extender from a well known online retailer for around half the price but that vibrated so much it nearly broke my router table and me. Stumping up for this item it was a nice surprise to have the spanner included, reducing the price delta, and the quality is superb. It has been used extensively now with no issues.

Good built quality and not too chunky or heavy, it's doing a good job so far!

To paraphrase, "there is no greater fool than the man, or woman, who knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing" and it seems apt here. I do, however, know the cost of this collet extension - £30. But the value to me is far greater. It is beautifully machined, works perfectly and I'm sure it will outlive me and a few more generations besides. It's made my time in my workshop considerably easier and it's no longer a pain to change router bits at my router table. If you value quality and need a router extension collet, buy this one. The £30 is arbitrary, but in this case, the quality and value exceeds the cost.
