Hi all,
Firstly, this is almost certainly my amateurism causing this, but I'd appreciate any tips on how to fix this problem as it's becoming expensive.
I've got a Triton TRA001 mounted to a kreg router table and I've used it pretty lightly, but never had a challenge.
I'm trying to make some finger pull drawers for a new bathroom unit I'm making and I'm getting two problems:
1) The bit height keeps adjusting mid-cut - obviously for something like a fingerpull drawer handle, this wrecks the whole piece each time
2) The oak is ripping off as I cut (this might be related to the slipping above - hard to tell at this stage). I'm doing gradual cuts, maybe 1cm at a time, but producing pretty poor finish in places.
Can anyone give me some pointers to try and resolve this?
The bit is pretty tight in the collet, so I'd be surprised if that's the problem - it does appear to be the vibrations are actually turning the height adjustment screw as I marked the position before testing it and the screw has moved position. Is there a way to tighten or lock this or something??
