-- Bosch PR20EVSK palm router



And my question is, are there collets for 1/8" shank tools, that would be compatible with this palm router.



Thanks

Why don't you ask Bosch?

For one thing, Bosch may not give a complete answer--they can tell you if they make one but if you don't luck into the right guy you may not find out about third party collets such as or adapter bushings such as .

bushings for router colletts. I am not sure how close a tolerance they have. Lyndell

If you go the reducer bushing road, assume they are going to fail and guard accordingly.

I approach a router like I would a bucking bronco.

Sooner or later the SOB is going to throw a bit.

Be prepared.

I submitted a question to Bosch online yesterday afternoon, and they have not yet relpied.
