Title: Bosch Colt with VS
Post by: kolias on November 03, 2015, 10:59:34 PM

I used before a Colt and I was very happy with it. For my new small fixed gantry CNC I may use one again but perhaps there are other routers similar to Colt or even better.

Kress FME looks like a good router but I don’t know why is so expensive

Any other one? Must be small like the Colt and with VS (to be used for engraving / light aluminum cuts)

.... but it only comes with a 1/4" collet ......

you can however buy a selection of other collets (or just an 1/8" collet as I did) from Elaire Corporation http://www.elairecorp.com/makitaroutercollets.html

There is also this option too:
