I bought this machine a while ago and use it for the first time today.
I was routing a rabbet in the back of bookcase standards to receive the 1/2" plywood back. The bit was a Porter Cable rabbret bit with a bottom guide bearing. The shaft was 1/4" --- that's all I could find at HD.
Anyway, I chuck up the 1/4" sleeve in the collet and insert the bit. The router stalled and I noticed the bit was climbing out. I tightened it again and the same thing happened.
I finisihed the job with my PC690 with no problems.
Any thoughts on why this happened? Yes I locked the collet with the sliding metal plate and then wrenched it.
Thanks.
