Hi friends, my name is Jenn. I'm fairly new to woodworking but I started getting into it enough that I've recently set up a router sled for help with flattening my own slabs. Up until this point I've never used a plunge router and my familiarity with routers in general is quite minimal.
So I purchased a Triton TRA001 plunge router, was installing the 1/2 collet to install the 1/2 router cutter. But I tightened the collet without the cutter installed. Now the collet itself is stuck on the spindle whereas the collet nut comes off freely. I cannot get it off. If someone has a magic suggestion as to how to get this off without damaging the spindle, please tell me.
I attached a photo for reference. Thank you 🙏
