MLO Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 I just acquired an old Makita die grinder, I've taken the collet nut off and the collet seems to be stuck in the nut. It feels like Ill brake it to actually take it out. is this normal? am I missing something? Also Once I get the 1/4 inch collet out am I able to put a 1/8 inch collet inside the nut and use it with a Makita GD0800c die grinder? thanks.

ToolBane Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 I know that my cordless die grinder has a 1/4” collet available for it but it comes stock with a 1/8”. You could check and see if the part number is the same for both models. You could also try calling Makita’s service people directly. I’ve heard they’re extremely helpful.

CATERPILLAR Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 You can try and squeeze it out with some pliers if you are gentle and if it's too messed up I'd just get the collet out and buy a new one off of ereplacementparts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
