Hi,
First time post:
I just bought a Makita RP0900 router for a few jobs I need to do.
I'm wondering whether the black part in the picture is the 8mm collet cone. It came with a 6mm collet cone and there doesn't seem to be any way to secure a 6mm bit without removing this one. It's jammed in pretty tight and I don't want to force it and break it, hence the question.
It also doesn't make a lot of sense why the 6mm collet would come separately if it does have to be removed, as 6mm is more common for bits than 8mm. The instructions don't specifically say to remove it, but there really doesn't seem to be a way to secure the bit without doing so.
I have a fair few hand tools. Any suggestions on what to use to remove it, if this is what I should do, are welcome.
Thanks.
