Hi niki
I would not cut them
, once cut that's it you can't fix it or change it,,this is what I would try take some fine wire and tie up 2 or 4 coils in the center of the spring and then give it a try...this may do it...if you have some of the picture hanging wire and take one wire out of the rap and use it..also some of the small cable (1/8" type that has 8 or more in the rap...the center one is the best)
I do like jigs , anyone can do it one time but to do it over and over the same way it takes a jig/fixture..

About jigs, for me, part of the woodworking hobby is, the challenge to make them myself and achieve the same results as the bought one (reading through your posts, I have the impression that you are also "Jig Maniac").
For example; Rockler has a Tenon jig that rides on the miter slot but I like the challenge of making it myself and, I made it, riding on the fence on rollers, steady as a rock and moving smooth like a Felder slider...
I would like to ask you, can I remove only one of the springs on M8V2 without any side-effects...this router has a "3¼ HP" springs that are heavy on my 63 years old hands...on the other hand, I want the "sprigability".
Or, maybe I can cut some, say, 1" of the spring length and see how it works...
Thanks
