8mm collet for Makita Trim Router

[bp122]

Hi all

I'm looking for a 8mm collet for my Makita trim router (RT0700).
So far the online searches show very different products. Some look like just a cone, others look a bit longer in length.

Can't seem to reliably find any info on which is the right one.

Has anyone bought one for their katsu or Makita router?
If yes, can you please share a link or a photo?

Thanks.

it's a cone... part# 763618-5 - fits behind the collet nut

Same one fits a lot of Makita routers - there's an exploded diagram of how it fits into a 3620 as one of the images here

Have a look at Aim Tools web site.

I know that you have now received the answer to your question, but by measuring the collet you already have, you could determine how thick each part of it would need to be to accommodate an 8mm shank.

If you do the maths and any of your numbers work out to be close to zero or negative, an 8mm collet cannot have metal in that place.
