   Indeed, that is its nature, but it does grip as good or better than a collet.

      Routerman :  Maybe you can explain something to me , I just don't understand .I know you have been around routers a lot  , your web site proves that .  I don't own one of these  but was wondering , how this would impact the router bit s life over time ?

      Besides that it extends the router collet out?? ,. whats your opinion of this over hung weight?                                                                          Thanks Chris

   These small dings on the shank, tho insulting, will do little harm. How many times will you load a tool? Router bits begin to show wear lines (on the work) within a few hundred feet of use; maybe once, maybe 10 x in the collet/Eliminator.

   So, x default, the micro-dings don't accumulate much & are rarely a problem. Nonetheless, collets don't ding shanks, and stress risers (dings & things) can cause problems in ordinary collets.

   Collet extension issue: Well, the farther the cutter is from the last armature bearing, (no matter what the device that extends), the more it will deflect. Deflection, in my view = early wear, chatter on the work, and vibration. Now who in the hell needs that?

    Thanks for the reply, I feel the same way.                                             Chris

   I've noticed with mine (have 2) that I have to be careful not to seat the bit too deeply. Only solid round steel in the collet.
