I just finished my router table, and mounted my Triton TRA001 in it. I have only used the router briefely before, as a plunge router (used it to route the cavity for the Bench Dog router table plate).
It worked great, and I was happy.
I'm still happy, but there seems to be a "snag" when I try to lift the router. About half way between the bottom and top setting, it feels like something is obstructing the movement, and the router tilts slightly to one side, before the snag lets go, and I can keep turning the knob to elevate the router further.
I have removed the plunge spring, and I'm not using the above-top elevating handle.
It seems that if I push a little on the oposite side of the router while I turn the knob, it's almost gone, but not completely.
Everything works fine, but it's kind of annoying when it feels like something is wrong, and could wear out over time. I've checked everything on the outside of the router, and I can't see anything that should cause this, so I think it must be on the inside.
The above-top elevating handle, works fine for lowering the router, but when I'm elevating it, I'm afraid of breaking it, because it's only lifting on one of the columns..
Has anyone else experienced this?
