I have the Triton TWX7 work bench with the Triton router module mounted underneath.
I was using a 4” three bladed router bit with a bearing at each end. I was routing a piece of three inch ply when the router bit grabbed the wood, tore itself out of the chuck (which was definitely tightened up before I started) and flew across the workshop. It grazed my thumb and elbow on its way. Fortunately I suffered no injuries apart from shock!
The lesson learned is ; how often do we check our installation is secure? When I investigated I found the whole router assembly (secured to the underside of the bench module with four bolts) had loosened over time meaning the entire router was loose!
Thankfully I got way with it (this time)!
Be careful out there!
