Hi guys First of all both products, the Eliminator Chuck and the Xtreme Xtension, do the job you need i.e. a quick & frustration free changing of router bits. In my mind, and through experience of using and owning both, the Xtreme Xtension is better suited to what we need on a manual Legacy and that is the increased reach or depth of plunge.
One problem I have seen with the Eliminator Chuck has been it biting into the cutter shank and therefore making cutter removal a little awkward. Luckily never seen that on the Xtreme Xtension and I have had less than 0.004% returns on the product from customers since the products inception. Interestingly any returns I have just stripped them down, re-assembled them and I have used myself or sold them to friends for a small fee, well comparatively small. If you are looking for increased reach or depth of plunge then take a look at http://www.chipsfly.com/category/RC.html Lewis Steep sells them and has the XL Quick Chuck which provides a bit more reach than the standard Eliminator. Finally, I have to admit to having more than a passing interest, not financial, in the Xtreme Xtension. Bob McFarlin, him of the Router Raizer, originally designed it for me because at the time Joe Marmo supplier of the Eliminator Chuck did not offer a version for DeWalt 625, and at that time supply of Porter Cable products was very hit and miss, thinking about it 10 or 12 years on it has not changed.

This is the chuck I have used for several years, it will only work with 1/2 inch bits, however you can buy an adapter to allow you to use it with 1/4 inch bits http://www.amazon.com/The-Eliminator-Quick-Change-Chuck/dp/B0007OTTJM/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1381646739&sr=1-1&keywords=router+chuck This is a newer version, it will add aditional reach and it will fit any 1/2 inch router you would like to use it also comes with the adapter to use the 1/4 inch bits http://www.amazon.com/Router-Technologies-EX-2080-Professional/dp/B000EXQ2FA/ref=pd_cp_hi_3 Jeff Becker ---- "sterlingmi...@aol.com" <parr...@aol.com> wrote: > I've had most of my 900 put togeather for some time except for the > router so I broke down and ordered a PC 7518 for my z- axis. > > I would like to get a quick release collet for it but am unsure of which > one to buy so I thought I'd look for some advice here as it will only be > used on the Legacy. > > Thanks in advance, > Peter > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to legacy-ornamental-mills+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/legacy-ornamental-mills. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
