Needed to use some cheap 60 deg bits 1/4" shaft with my hitachi router that came when we bought the 5 x 10 Maxi-Cam.

I ordered the PreciseBits ER-20 kit for the Bosch 1617 which also fits the Hitachi 2.25 hp.

These 1/4" (6.35 mm) collet held the shaft of the 60 deg bit which was even slightly smaller than 6 mm.

I also bought the 1/8" collet for those tiny plastic and aluminum Amana O flute bits.

Please note that if your router is well used that in addition to the provided instructions for cleaning the inside of the collet cone

you should also clean the armature threads that the collet nut will screw onto. The nut would not thread all the way on until I cleaned them out with

a utility blade. A few people have posted the reduction in runout when this kit is installed. Not pictured in the pics is the spanner that came with the kit.

Wow have not posted in a while.

I recently changed my BioStar motherboard to an ASRock mobo and HDD on my cnc's computer and got it back up and running without much fuss.

Hooked the motherboard LPT1 pinouts to the cable, hooked up my hobbycnc box and off I went. Now my double Y axis and single Z axis motors

make a bup bup bup bup sound every few rotations and they will sometimes stall under no stress.

I believe its the new motherboard. Any thoughts??

Check the bios for EIST (intel) or C1E (AMD) and disable it if possible.
