Vibration on 1/2" bits on Milwake 5615 router
Make sure that you are not bottoming out the bits.
"Wilser Ramirez" wrote in message om... Hello, It's the first time I'm using 1/2" shank bits on my 5615 router. I built a router table and all 1/4" shank bits work fine and 1/2" shank 1" diameter planner bit works great, but when I use 2 1/2" long 1/2" shank 1/2" diameter bits (I've tried both, as someone suggested the first one could be un balanced, freud and amana) the router sounds real loud and I can see the motor sparking. Also I'm using these bits with a jointer fence jig and the cuts come out with ripples all along it's length! Someone suggested that it could be the 1/2" collet, but the planner bit works great on it! Any suggestions? |

Vibration on 1/2" bits on Milwake 5615 router
"Routerman P. Warner" wrote in message om... These small motors often resonate with long and or large diameter cutters. It is not uncommon. I have seen it in all small routers, the DW 621 being the most tolerant. If ever you fire the switch and the router starts vibrating: Kill it or slow it down imediately. Http://www.patwarner.com (Routers) As usual excellent advice but I think you may have misread as I did the first time the size of the bits that are giving the problems. The 1/2" shank bit is 2.5" long, that is really not too long and it only cuts a 1/2" wide. |
