As you gain more experience, you may wish to purchase additional tools. Gerber sells a
complete line of high quality cutting tools that provide optimum cutting performance. Contact
your Gerber distributor or visit www.gspinc.com for details.
Collets
A collet is a cone-shaped sleeve that firmly holds a cutting tool to the bottom of the router
motor. It has lengthwise slits that permit it to tighten firmly around the cutting tool shaft when
the collet nut is tightened down on it. The tool kit contains one .500" (13 mm) collet for use with
½" shank diameter tools and the pen tool, one .250" (or 6 mm) collet for use with the .250" or 6
mm tools, and one .125" or 3 mm sleeve.
