    I haven't made a collet specifically for a router but I have made collets for milling cutters and if you have the right machinery (at the very least a lathe) it is not a difficult process, ideally they would be made from a flame hardening steel and then hardened and tempered but you can get away with non hardened or even brass for occasional use.
