| fizch | I don't have a manual nor bits. So I am looking online for bits. Now that I know it is not a router, I am much better. I might have some questions as to changing the direction. Also, adjusting the height. |

I can't tell how to put on a bit as the "stem" looks different than what I am used to on my router. I am not sure how to adjust the height of the bit. I have attached a couple pics of the router table. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

I have this gut feeling why it was given to you . Hope I'm wrong lol I wonder if that's considered a shaper ? Update . I just googled shapers and this delta one came up and has what I believe the same threaded shaft that yours has . I think the bits are specific for those machines as I seen them and they had holes in them to slide on the shaft . So I suspect you crank down a bolt to hold them I'm place . I'm a newbie so just guessing . I'm sure the resident experts will pipe up shortly |
