Yes there's always one
. am Darren and I am doing carpentry purely as a hobby. I received a portable blackspur 900 watt plunge router for a christmas present. It came with two collets (1/4" and 8mm), some other stuff and a very poor manual. Anyway I figured how most of it goes together an I fitted the 1/4" collet according the the manual and fitted the 1/4 " straight cut bit whch i noticed seemed to be inset so far I had to set the dept to maximum befroe it would clear the housing. This seems a bit odd to me. when i fired it up it only cut as deep as a few mm. I took out the bit and collet and put in the 8mm collete and i thought i'd try the dovetail cutter which requires the 8mmm collet (Noticce i spell collette diffrent everytime because I have no idea how to spell it
) anyway , i dropped the bit in as far as it woulg go, according to the intructions and again i had to have the router set to maximum dpth before it would clear the housing and it like the straight cut bit only trimmrd a few mm of the wood. Like I said I am purely an amateur and I have never used a router before so I don't know what I'm doing with it. BTW there were also a couple of items that looked like a couple of swuare with curved springs coming out the back but I have no idea where they go. Can anyone help?
Thank you
