The router mounted to it is a Dewalt D26200 (GB). It came with a 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) collar, this is the size you need when buying your router bits.
The kit came with another collar (probably 1/8 inch, but not checked yet) for smaller bits.

A CNC router is a computerized woodworking machine - basically a router mounted on a positioning system. While it may also be able to handle other materials depending on the bits you use, a proper CNC mill is more precise for machining parts out of metals and other non-wood materials.

There is also an interesting new approach of handheld CNC routing coming out which may remove the size constraints that come with any fixed-frame machine.

Router

The router mounted to it is a Dewalt D26200 (GB). It came with a 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) collar, this is the size you need when buying your router bits. The kit came with another collar (probably 1/8 inch, but not checked yet) for smaller bits.
