    Thanks, but the original post was for the collar AND the bit for $22. That's what I was looking for.

    Why not buy router bits with the 1/2" shaft instead of getting router bits that have 1/4" and have to put an adapter on it. I could see if you were trying to use existing 1/4" shaft bits but if you had to buy new, wouldn't 1/2" shaft no adapter be better? Or is there a pro and con to this idea?

    The main key is that all the bits should have carbide cutting edges.
    Second, care should be taken to assure that each bit purchased conform, in size, to the list of bits available from LHR. The reason is that the software is designed to expect a given maximum head size, and a given flute length, for the selected bit. Over sized bits could cause excess pressure on various machine parts, breaking something along the way.

    If you've kept up with the forum, you've seen the caution about the 1/4 inch carbide shanks needing the pressed on collar, rather than using a split collet (those bits are best purchased from LHR, or at least conform to the LHR standard).
    We're speaking of the 1/16" carving and the 1/8" Straight (cutting) bits.

    Why does LHR charge the same price for the 1/16" cutting bit without the QC adapter? It would be nice to save a little. They charge $10 for the QC, but charge the same $25 price for the bit if you don't get the adapter. I have a bunch of adapters I don't need. If they just charged $20 for the bit without the adapter, I'd be able to buy more bits.
