Since I am in need of tooling and don't own a lot of router bits(I got ride on all but one of my routers several years ago) I am thinking of using 2 and 3 fluted end mill instead of router bit. In order to do this I would need more collets for my ER-20 chuck. The local BORGS don't carry a big selection of router bit anyhow so everything I need to get has to be ordered. Presently I only have a 6.5 mm and a 1/2" collet so if I use router bits I can use 1/4" or 1/2" shaft router bits. I would be good to go but If I use end mills the collet needs to fit the tool. I can get a full set of 14 collets that will cover me from 1/8" all the way to 1/2 inch so I am leaning in that direction but was wondering what you guys were using on you machines.
So what say you router bits or end mills.
here is a link to the to something like the ER-20 collets I am thinking about getting.
