I looked forever for some 3 slot reducers for my router to be able to use 1/8" end mill bits. I ordered item # 271 (1/4" to 1/8" reducer) and received a single slotted reducer. I am not happy about this at all as the run-out on the end mill will be significant enough to possibly break the bit during use simply due to run-out.
Otherwise a good product. Haven't tested how well it holds 1/8" bits yet.
[MLCS NOTE:The smaller size adaptors are single-slotted as the size and design do not permit additional slots. The sample image shown is of one of the larger sizes.]

I needed a few collet reducers so that I could use smaller end mills in my cnc router.
I thought that I would try the collet adapters sold by MLCS. The adapters that I purchased did surprisingly well. There was no loss of concentricity with the one slot adapters that I had received.
I highly recommend this part and I have in fact already recommended its use to the members of my growing Facebook group of like minded CNC router enthusiast.

I ordered two #273 1/4 to 1/8 and was a bit disappointed because the items do not match the picture at MLCS.
The two I purchased have only one slit, where the photo shows 3, which is a better design. Other than that, and some minor loss of concentricity, they work okay, and are worth the price.
---------------------------------------------------
MLCS NOTE: The design is dependent on the size. Thinner walled adapters only require one slit. Thicker walled adapters require more slits for compression. The sample image happens to show a thicker walled example.

Works great in my DeWalt 611, bought the 1/8 and 3/16 and both work GREAT. I am ordering a second set because ill use them so much on my cnc.
