Router Bit Installation

Before using router bits, you should convert the shaper to a router table. Refer to Table Spacer Kit on Page 23 to learn how to do this.

The Model W1701 comes with a 1⁄2" and 1⁄4" router bit collet. When installing router bits, make sure that the router bits are secure before starting the machine. A loose router bit may fly out of the spindle.

To install the router bit collet, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER SOURCE!

2.Push the collet into the collet nut until the off-cen- ter lip of the collet nut snaps into the collet groove. See Figure 26.

Note: This lip and groove pulls the collet from the spindle when the collet nut is removed.

3.Place the collet nut and collet into the spindle. See

Figure 27.

4.Finger tighten the collet nut onto the spindle until it is flush with the top of the collet nut.

5.Insert the router bit.

6.Using the 26mm special flat wrench, insert it under the table and hold the spindle stationary (see Figure 28-A) while using the 30mm wrench to tighten the collet securing the router bit (see Figure 28-B).
