Hi
I just purchased a WEN RT6033 15-Amp Variable Speed Plunge router and having trouble tightening and then loosening bits. It takes all the strength I have to tighten the bit when I have the 1/4 inch adapter in. Is it normal that the collet of the 1/2 and then the collet of the !/4 adapter both have to be REALLY tight to hold the 1/4 bit and then ten minutes to extract the bit? Can I purchase a quick change collet? It seems that having to close gaps on both collets is more trouble than it is worth.
Any suggestions? This is my first expereince with 1/2 to 1/4 adapters.
Thanks
Terry
