Hey everyone..
I bought a Triton TRA001 (3.25 HP) in December.. Never took it out of the box as I was saving and working on my table and cabinet stand as well as insulating and finishing my shed shop project.
So I got my table ready to go and router all set up and went to put in my new Whiteside downshear bit for edge jointing (members here recommended) and the 1/2" shank will not fit. Seems it maybe a 12mm collet perhaps? It came with the 1/4" collet as well (though I have not checked if 1/4" shank will fit in that).
Just never had this occur before where a shank could not slip into a collet even with the nut off there is no getting it in there...
I bought this from a US company (Klingspor) and the specs said 1/2" and 1/4" collet... Perhaps just a mix up somewhere? or am I missing something?
