I have a PC 892 router in my router table and have been having increasing difficulty adjusting the bit. Whenever I raise the bit it begins to bind and I can see the bit lean over to the side as the motor cocks sideways in the fixed base.
I pulled the base off and cleaned out all the saw dust and brushed out the teeth in the adjuster. When I put it back together it moves a little easier but still is off. I find that the increased tension causes the blade to not only be cocked a little sidways screwing up the cut, while it is running the router will right itself causing the blade to straighten and the bit height to rise.
Anyone else seen this? This router is only a few months old and has not seen a lot of work.
It is attached to an WoodPecker aluminum insert plate and it is not the plate flexing.
