Router Bit Chucks and Collets for Spindle Moulders

Router bit chucks and collets allow router bits with shanks to be used on certain spindle moulders and combination woodworking machines equipped with a compatible mounting system.

This category includes collet chucks, ER20 chucks, collets and mounting accessories designed to fit different router bits to a spindle moulder.

Router Bit Chucks for Spindle Moulders

A router bit chuck for a spindle moulder allows a shank-type router bit to be fitted to the spindle when the machine configuration permits.

The chuck is generally fitted to the end of the spindle using a specific thread. Depending on the machine and its year of manufacture, common mounting threads include M14 and M16.

It is therefore essential to check the spindle thread before selecting a chuck.

ER20 Collet Chucks for Spindle Moulders

The ER20 system uses interchangeable collets, allowing different router bit shank diameters to be clamped using the same chuck.

By fitting a collet that matches the exact diameter of the router bit shank, an ER20 chuck provides secure and concentric clamping of the tool.

ER20 chucks designed for certain spindle moulders can accommodate collets for router bits with 8 mm or 12 mm shanks, depending on the chuck and collet used.

Collets for Router Bits

Router bit collets must be selected according to the exact diameter of the router bit shank.

Different sizes may be available, including 8 mm, 10 mm and 12 mm, depending on the chuck or tool holder being used.

The collet must always be compatible with the chuck system for which it is intended. An ER20 collet, for example, must be used with a compatible ER20 collet chuck.

Using Router Bits on a Spindle Moulder

A suitable chuck can extend the machining possibilities of a spindle moulder by allowing the use of certain shank-type router bits normally used with routers.

This configuration can be useful for grooving, profiling and other machining operations, provided that the router bit, chuck, spindle speed and machine specifications are suitable for the intended operation.

How to Choose a Chuck or Collet

Before ordering a router bit chuck or collet, several specifications should be checked:

• the chuck mounting system;
• the spindle thread diameter and pitch, particularly M14 or M16;
• the type of collet system, such as ER20;
• the router bit shank diameter: 8, 10 or 12 mm depending on the system;
• the compatibility of the chuck with the spindle moulder and its spindle speed.

Chucks and Collets for Different Spindle Moulders

Our router bit chucks, collet chucks and collets may be suitable for various spindle moulders and combination woodworking machines, provided that the mounting system is carefully checked beforehand.

They may be suitable for certain machines from Kity, Leman, Holzmann, Bernardo, Holzprofi, Jean l'Ébéniste and other brands.
