Hi all,
I purchased a second-hand Makita trim router (N3701) and naively assumed it would have a 1/4" collet. The router runs and seems to be a sturdy little thing--I bought it from a cabinet shop that was closing down--but guess what, it won't take a 1/4" bit.
I see the manual I downloaded from Makita indicates this is a 1/4" router so I'm wondering if the collet was replaced or the machine originated from Europe. Either way, I paid $100 for the thing so I'm keen to find a solution.
I guess I could find a suitable router bit--Carbatec suggested it would be 8mm but I've also seen 6.4mm shanks--but do you think I could just order a replacement 1/4" "collet cone"?
$6 + $10 shipping from here: http://ift.tt/1HTSgGs

Many thanks in advance, you knowledgeable folks!
