PC Router Collet Trouble
Anyone having trouble with Porter Cable Router Colet holding bits tight? I
was routing a wood frame built to hide the edge of a beveled mirror for a large bathroom mirror. I do remember tightening the bit and all was going well with a 1/2" rabbiting bit/with bearing and without any warning, (but expect I wouldn't get any anyway) the bit went flying off damaging the area I was routing and spinning to the other side and taking a large nick out of that side. This was an expensive piece of maple trim from Craft Maid and to say the least I was ****ed! After a time out to calm down I thought back and reflected I was really lucky not to get nailed in the face by this flying projectile. This is a newer Router, 693 Porter Cable using the fixed base. Needless to say, I torque the bit more than what I thought necessary when I decided to continue. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem or was it operator error?
