I have a question regarding something that happened today. I'm new to woodworking and trying to figure things out as I go. Currently I've used the "mega dado bit" from Infinity Tools to flatten two end grain butcher blocks and one cutting board with no troubles in the router planing sled/jig I made. My router is a brand new Bosch MRC23EVS.
I was using the {mega dado and planer router bit (#52-506)} to flatten an end grain butcher block made from walnut and hard maple today when the bit suddenly grabbed the wood and shuddered violently then causing the router to vibrate and make a terrible noise. Naturally I immediately shut it off. The bit had dug into the wood by about a millimeter. At the time I was only set to a cut depth of .6mm.
Now the router can't spin the mega dado bit straight yet other normal bits work fine.
Am I looking at a router problem or a bit/collet extension problem?
Sorry for the newbie question...
Any help is much appreciated.
