Editorial Reviews:

Designed to prevent frozen or stuck bits from slowing down your woodworking projects, the Porter-Cable 42999 allows the collet and collet nut to be removed as one unified unit, helping to prevent lost bits. This handy tool offers two helpful functions: it can be used to replace lost collets or to convert 1/2-inch bits to 1/4-inch bits, so you can use them with your 3 1/4-HP Porter-Cable router. The 42999 is compatible with the following Porter Cable Routers: 690, 691, 692, 7518, 7519, 7529, 7537, 7538, and 7539.

User Comments about the Porter-Cable 42999 1/4-Inch Self Releasing Collet

This PC collet just works. Just as one would expect.Yes, I would purchase again, if need arose.No need for hyperbole. What more could you want. No jamming, no sticking, perfectly centered.

Just what you expect. Make sure the inside of your router is clean where the collet sits or you might have a slightly wobbly bit that will wear out your tool, produce poor cuts, and be very loud. Good quality, fits many Porter Cable Routers, just check online to be sure. Does what it is supposed to perfectly.

I purchased the 690LR via amazon, and it comes with a 1/2 and a 1/4 inch collet. It is hard to examine, still less try to repair, the inside threading. The 1/2 inch collet is fine, but I am unable to screw the 1/4 collet on. I assume there is some sort of defect in the threads.

The collet fit perfectly in my P-C Router; the sides even align perfectly with those on the chuck when tightened. Thanks, I could not be happier with the collet. It was well packet and timely shipped, too.

I have looked at a lot of these stands and used a few. The cons are, it took about 30 minutes to assemble and the right extention is mounted off center so you do not use the entire roller. This one is the baest I have used, a nd a great deal for $200.00.
