   I had the part number. I need a place to buy it from online. Bosch merely refers you to their dealers, but none seem to list the collet for sale.

   Lee,

   Slow night here in Japan so I did a little surfin" for ya!

   Starting with Sgian's link, it seems to me that just about one size fits all. That being the case, this link may be just wahat you need.

   First, the bosch link to double check fit.

   http://www.boschtools.com/Tools+and+Accessories/Accessories/acc_detail.htm?item_group_id=19626

   Then peruse this one to purchase.

   http://www.internationaltool.com/boschrouteraccys.htm

   They list a collet for the 1615 and 1615EVS (#BOS2610906289), different than the bosch link, but I would guess it would work.

   Good luck

   Scott

   Many thanks Scott! I found and ordered it at International Tool along with an adapter that will let me use industry standard Porter-Cable template bushings. Big Brown should deliver in a few days.

   Every tool dealer I had checked didn't have the collet. I guess I just didn't surf quite far enough. I appreciate your finding it for me.

   I'm wondering about your ID "the rev." Are you a pastor/reverend? And in Japan, too?

   Lee,

   Glad it worked out for you. I used taht company a while back to get a replacement pad for my bosch sander, so they were still fresh in my mind.

   I shall now reveal my secret identity. <g>

   Yes, I am an Anglican/Episcopal priest. Been Japan about ten years. I earn my living (well, my wife claims that she supports the arts!) working wood and take care of a small international congregation in Kyoto as a volunteer just on Sundays. However, I'm looking forward to spending more time with Habitat for Humanity next year. I just got back from a Habitat build in Mongolia and had a great time. Great organization and highly recommend involvment.

   Scott

   Have you tried a Bosch authorized service center?
