TRA001: Height adjustment on new Triton router not smooth
Hi all ) I just bought a new Triton TRA001 router and am experiencing issues with the height adjustment: When using the table height winder, initially the height adjustment runs smoothly as it should, but approximately half way up, it starts to experience significant tension before it suddenly makes a “jump” (height wise a couple of mm), tension is released and then it moves smoothly again rest of the way up. It feels like it is maybe jumping a thread on one of the two threaded bars to catch up with the other one (just a guess however)
Anyone who knows what could be wrong or if this is something I have to live with?
Background info:
* The router has never been used
* Router is table mount (Kreg insert plate)
* Have removed the plunge spring as per the manual
* Only experiencing this issue when adjusting height upwards - not downwards
* Initially reported the issue to the retailer who sent me a new one, but I am experiencing the same issue with the new one, grrr
Thanks all! 🙏

Its not binding or catching on the non winding side post is it? you could try light upward pressure under that side to see if it helps
if so you could spray WD40 or similar on it and see if it makes a difference
mine did the same thing, its good now
