Newbie both to this forum and wood woking in general

James unfortunately not yet. The puller keeps slipping off. My next thought was to cut the top of the collet to see if that will release the pressure. As for Triton services, they as yet, have not responded to my request for help. I will of course pass on any update once I have released it. Many thanks, Ron

Hi Guys, the good news is, I got it released yesterday evening. Just as I was contemplating using the angle grinder on it, I gave it one more time dangling it with the handgrips and rocking it slowly left to right. After about 30 mins I used the grips to give it a turn and thankfully it came loose. (copious amounts of WD 40 seems to of helped good old lubrication 😉) Noting, this is not the first time this has happened to this brand of router and size collet, as I found someone else on Youtube, and indeed this morning on this forum. I did pass on this info for him to see if it helps. However, I am also gravely disappointed in Triton, who has yet not replied to my request for help, (even to inform me that maybe, I did something wrong, to which I could learn from) bearing in mind, it is their collet, that failed in their machine. Plus the fact both are purchased only in July so with very little use. Warning to those wanting to buy this box said 3 years Guarantee on this product, but it's not until you have a problem you find on their website, "You must register the product within 30 days to receive the full 3 years, otherwise you only get 30 days. Don't get me wrong, even after this, I like the tool..., however, Triton YOU need to up your game. Other than that, I now look forward to using it and will continue to read this forum for help, tips and tricks in woodworking with the router. Have a great weekend, where ever you are...
