I have a Skil router (1400w) that is made in the USA. It is about 3 years old (at the most: black in colour).
I have a problem with bits getting stuck in the collet: very tight fit, actually had to destroy a dovetail bit to get it out.
being a USA unit i believe it is ?1/4 inch ?6mm bit.
Can anybody throw any light on the problem and how I may remedy it. The bit that was broken was a "Vermont American"
All the bits seem to easy to get into the collet, but difficult to remove:confused:
