Hey new to router world ! I removed my nut from my router, tried to take collet out but couldn’t and now it won’t screw back on the shaft threats and nut are to far apart . What am I doing wrong

Did not help it’s won’t cme out (the collet) and won’t let nut down enough to go on threads

if she can push the router nut back on the collet nut , she can thread it back on enough to pop it loose.

i believe she over tightened the router nut and the collet is jammed tight

Ive seen these separate in the shop several times. They do wear..,

I’m an idiot I have extra collett ans nut and I picked up the wrong one, I evidently had a collett in the spindle stuck not realizing it was there. It was a da moment

Now you're officially one of us. Just about everyone here has had a moment like that. Not many here can walk on water.

Thank you

Now that's handled, how about sharing what kinds of projects you like to do, My wife is a pretty good artist, so I wind up making picture frames. Don't do furniture since the house is too full already.p storage. The I made a slat wall with tool storage some of which I need to revisit because I put it together fast to get it I off the floor then I made two end tables with drawers for my youngest son, my oldest I made shoshuggi ban floating shelf’s, I know I spelled that wrong . For my kitchen I made a silverware drawer insert. I’ve made other things and want to tackle more when time allows. How about you. Oh I paint things also mail boxes landscape pavers etc..

I just started a year ago. So far I made a 4x8 workbench with drawers router inserted and miter saw inserted and drawers wood scra
