How many of you folk out there that own a Router and also have a car for their use look at their router maintenance?
Consider this;
If your car has a problem with it's mechanics wouldn;t you soon sort it out given that you require it for your use?
Also given the fact that you own a router in your workshop and are using it with numerous profiles and possibly different colletts with
your array of bits that you employ have you considered the wear and tear on the bit shafts,bearings and the stress applied as well as the bearings on the router and it's own bearings with the possibility of wear and tear causing runnout then do you offer yourself time to check out your gear in your workshop or do you wait 'til it gives out?
The reason I go into this is that I was recently visited by MURPHY'S LAW and had to reconcile myself to my own awareness in regards to my machinery under my control.
The Router in my humble opinion is one of the most employed machines in the workshop with numerous changes with spanners and bits sometimes requiring a tap on the collett holding nut to free them that is first and foremost in ones review of maintenance in the home or workshop!!!
Just a little more than my 2c worth
Take Care..Cheers http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/smile.gif
