High speed spindle

I have realized that I already have a router called Bosch 1617EVS:

This is a real "no shit" powerful machine. If I can fit it near the quill, which I cannot see any I couldn't, it would work very well. Its speed range is 8,000 to 25,000 RPM, which is somewhat better than

16,000 to 30,000 of the "palm router". It has 1/2" and 1/4" collets, and smaller collets are also available from, e.g.,

If I can fit it next to the quill, it will be a very decent setup. All I would need to do is make an adapter plate.

That is what I was looking for.

Wow, this is far beyond my budget...

I'm not Duck but pretty sure your reference is to nsk's "planet" series.
