[desi2960]

Has anyone found a place for collets, or any other collets that will work on the 7301 cable porter router hightower supplys with his lathes?
All google searches tells me part has been discontinued.

I may have a extra stock collet laying around if you can use one. As far as any aftermarket collets, don't waste your time. I still use a couple of these routers for specific jobs in the shop. Once the armatures go I'll finally pitch them after several bearing/brush changes over the many years of use. The right bearings will last many times longer than the skateboard bearings they sell on the parts replacement houses.
Bosch colts have been my replacement for these when I need to.
