Hey Folks!
I am just now getting into learning how to use my router and router table. The router was given to me and is about 8 years old. I bought a basic set of bit and tried to use one today. However, when I went to insert the bit into the collet, it was damn near impossible to get it in. I had to use a screwdriver and hammer to get the bit back out of the collet.
Is this extremely tight fitting normal? Do I need to replace the collet? Thanks for any wisdoms!
