ER Collet System
The ER collet system is the most widely adopted and versatile collet standard in machining. Its tapered design and alternating slots provide strong, even clamping force along the entire length of the collet, ensuring a secure grip on cutting tools. In addition to improved tool holding, the ER system offers a built-in clamping range of -0.5mm per collet, reducing the need for a large inventory of specific sizes.
The WorkBee Router Head uses the ER11 size of the ER collet system. This allows you to use router bits ranging from 0.5mm to 7mm in diameter. Thanks to the clamping flexibility, a full set of ER11 collets in 1mm increments enables compatibility with virtually every diameter tool within that range, offering unmatched flexibility for a wide range of CNC operations.

unfortunately i have had the chance to use it properly yet, but i cant say enough about the customer service it was very good, if the router is half as good i will be happy.

Great router. It could come with different power plugs options for EU and such.

I got this to replace my Dewalt which I managed to wreck the screw thread on the spindle. So far it’s seems ok, certainly quieter than the Dewalt.

Yes twice the price of Makita trim router without base. I thought I would regret buying this @ ¬£129 . But I bought for reason of er collet. And don’t regret a single penny. This ooznest company has opened up my imagination to a whole new possibilities with working with wood. Of course I would love things to be cheaper but it’s more important to me I’m purchasing from a UK based company. I’m a newbie CNC user and don’t regret for a second going the ooznest way.

Great router head was a replacement for Katsu which was very noisy. WorkBee head has a little less noise and ER11 collets have many sizes for different tool shanks.
