Hot Collet on Porter Cable 7518
I got a Porter Cable 7518 3 HP router a few months ago and mounted it
in my table. Awesome power and easy adjustment; I've been very pleased. Today, after running it for about 30 minutes with a 3/8 round over bit on some cypress, the collet nut was too hot to hold. The bit was a brand new Whiteside, and it never loaded the motor, so I suspect the heat came up from the router bearing instead of down from the bit. I've never had a collet nut burn me before. Anybody else experience this? Should I be talking to Porter Cable about a replacement? DonkeyHody "Every man is my superior in that I can learn from him." - Thomas Carlyle |
