I have a SawStop router table and used it for the first time yesterday. I obviously didn't tighten the router enough into the mounting unit as the router dropped down into the dust control box after running a project piece past the bit a few times. So, I pulled the unit out, opened the mount enough to get the router in and cranked it tight. Now the router will not move up or down, which surprises me because I don't see a connection between the mount and the up/down controls. I'm ready to loosen the mount but don't want the router dropping out again. How tight is enough/too much?
Please enlighten me!

Welcome to the forum.

Thank you, good sir. I fixed the problem after speaking with a techie at SawStop. We agreed that there's such a thing as making it too tight. I loosened it slightly and also didn't crank down too hard on the two bolts that hold the unit in place.
