Pros & Cons
Pros
The * collet fits the craftsman 320. It mates to the router perfectly and applies strong, even pressure to 1/2 shanks. Perfect fit for my 1617evs. Shipped fast and fit perfefctly.
Cons
The hex nut is smaller than the 1/4 inch collet hex nut and the center collet has lots of side to side play. The bolt size is 17mm and the hole size is not 1/2 inch.
Highlights
Quality
Easy fix on the lathe and it works great!
It is exactly as described and works great.

Price
This 1/2" collet fit my craftsman router saving me half the cost.

Arrived quickly and fit my router perfectly.
So it gets 5 stars all the way around, it came quickly and it is the real deal.
And lucky me i could get same day delivery!

I bought other brand for my hitachi m12vc, but wobble horribly.

Sears did not have one in stock so i researched and found bosch had one that was compatible.
