It's not a matter of getting knocked around, it's the problem of ceasing like it has done. I've never used any kind of lubricant on mine, and I learned the hard way not to leave bits tightened in the collett. From time to time I'll forget to take one out and unless it's on my table I will fight with it again. My router table is much easier to remember to take the bit out because I put the solid insert in when I'm done. I also lay a piece of quarter inch plywood on the table to keep the table from getting messed up. It is a flat surface after all and people feel they have to lay things on a flat surface even though the tool box is right next to it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Keith Patterson To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2009 6:58 PM Subject: RE: [SPAM]Re: [BlindHandyMan] Sticky half inch router collett
I am so behind in my e-mail! Don't leave a bit in the router? I have to admit, I usually leave a bit in the router until I need to change it for another. It's on a router table so not like the bit is getting knocked around or anything. Seems like it just needs a good cleaning, as I have never done that yet. I am guessing, sense no one mentioned it, I probably should not use a lubricant in that, huh?

When my bit got jammed in there, I used the wrenches to loosen, but at some point it just stopped and wouldn't loosen any more. The collet was seriusly jammed. My brother-in-law told me it happens and I should clean it out more often. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
