Thread: *&$@*% Ozito Router

Hi Tiger

I just purchased one, but its at the reno. I will be there tomorrow I will have a look at the instructions for you.

Upon reading the post I realised that a photo would be beneficial in explaining the mystery part. It is the part sitting in the top left hand corner with the 2 tabs. The other parts snap together and are no problem. I cannot figure out what the other part does unless it causes a better seal but in doing so it blocks the plunge action of the router . Surely tool engineers would not make useless parts? Anyway if any non Ozito users can figure out, let me know.

I'm unashamed to say I have an Ozito 1020W router. same problem. With the dust hood on, the collet stops about 15mm from full plunge depth.

Gumby, with the one I have, I reckon I'm losing at least 20mm. One solution could be to break the tabs off, because it's the tabs that are preventing the plunging motion.

Hi Tiger

I couldn't see anything in the manual to help.

Take off the motor, put it on and put the motor back. Thats it.

I haven't put mine on, I must like cleaning up mess all the time.

OK does ot really stop all the dust?

Hi Celeste,

I think you'll find that you have the same problem. It's an awkward attachment to put on in the first place hardly facilitating dust collection at all. Maybe Ozito don't think that dust is a big problem for woodworkers and that no one is going to bother to use it for their tools. Without the offending piece, there is some dust collection but probably better if the other piece is included somehow.
