Tool holder for router bits Format 1.1–8 mm model 318.562

Format tool holder for router bits model 318.562 is designed to accept shank diameters from 1.1 to 8 mm and provides secure clamping for router and milling bits used in woodworking and precision routing. The holder is compatible with routers and spindle units that accept this style of collet-based tool holding, offering stable retention to support clean cuts, accurate edge profiling and reliable template routing operations.

Advantages

The tool holder offers a broad clamping range to accommodate small-diameter shanks through larger 8 mm bits, reducing the need for multiple holders. Its precise clamping mechanism minimizes runout and vibration for better surface finish and dimensional accuracy. Constructed for stability during repeated use, the holder facilitates quick bit changes and consistent concentricity when used with compatible router spindles.

Suitable for

• Woodworking edge profiling and trimming
• Template routing and pattern work
• Precision milling of small features and grooves
• General-purpose routing where variable shank sizes are used

Key specifications

• Clamping range: 1.1 mm to 8 mm shank diameters
• Compatibility: collet-style router and spindle units accepting this holder type
• Function: secure bit retention for routing and milling operations
• Design focus: reduced runout and vibration for improved finish quality

How to use

Insert the router or milling bit into the holder ensuring the shank seats fully and aligns concentrically. Tighten the clamping mechanism according to the manufacturer's torque guidance for your router or spindle to secure the bit. Verify runout before starting the machine and make any necessary adjustments. Use appropriate feed rates and cutting depths for the bit size and material being machined, and always ensure the holder and bit are clean and free of debris prior to insertion.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the holder with clean, undamaged bit shanks and compatible collet spindles, check concentricity after installation, and follow safety practices including proper guarding and personal protective equipment when routing.
