Shank diameter (SHK) affects compatibility with your router or collet and overall bit stability. Common shank sizes include 1/4" and 1/2", with larger shanks offering greater rigidity, reduced vibration, and smoother cuts—especially important for heavy-duty work. Smaller shanks fit lighter routers and allow for detailed work. Products like the Amana Tool CO-174 collet and Amana Tool CO-182 collet ensure precise fit for both 1/4" and 1/2" shanks, while the Amana Tool 47642 Extension Adapter provides flexibility for various shank sizes. The range of shank diameters and collets ensures you can match your router bit to your machine for optimal performance.
