Hi rout Just call the 800 number and I'm almost sure they will ship you a replacement... free of charge,they know it can happen from time to time.. You don't want to use a damage router bit,,in anyway shape or form, it's like driving a car and the steering wheel comes off/free now and then..you are out of total control ,it's a little thing but it can be a big thing real quick  Make the free call 1-800-533-9298 "Any MLCS item can be returned for any reason within 3 YEARS for refund, exchange, or replacement." Note ,,they don't want you to put out any money to get it back to them for the trash can,the norm. ========= Quote:

Greetings (your name here) and welcome to the router forum. I ditto what BJ has said, just be safe, and they will send out a replacement. Quote:

Never use a damaged bit. There is no way for you to secure that screw safely. One phone call is not a hassle, and the odds are it will save you from a serious injury.

I would say that a piece of metal between the eyes would be a considerably bigger hassle than a phone call.

"it's like driving a car and the steering wheel comes off/free" Believe it or not, that's happened to me when I was about 18, in a company panel van.
__________________ Harry The best advice that I can give a newcomer to routing is, learn to use the router mounted, this can be as simple as a board held in a vice, with the router firmly attached and a simple fence held with clamps, and when he/she feels competant and confident in it's use and is familiar with all aspects of safety, THEN, and only then proceed to learn how to use the router hand held. This is MY opinion, and may or may not coincide with that of the forum management, but is based on a lifetime of woodworking. http://members.dodo.com.au/~sharry02/ | ||
