Hi all,
I’ve got a 1/4" CNC router bit i wanted to use in the mini CNC. I didnt think id have any issues as theres a 1/4" collet in the collet set but i couldnt get the bit into the collet once the collet was in the collet nut.
I checked the Mini CNC manual and it said the CNC would only take collets up to 6mm. Do we have a clever way of getting round this or is the 1/4" collet a redundant part?
@CNCtechs any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks for pointing this out. I don’t have tons of experience on the Mini. Once you start turning the collet holder into the router it tightens. Is it possible you had it turned a bit too much and so the bit didn’t fit?
Maybe the other techs have come across this.
I thought of this but i couldnt fit the bit with the collet nut entirely separate from the CNC
