Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the forum and very excited I found it. I have probably less than basic routing experience. I have used one a few times a few years ago in school. I am slowly learning on my own and buying used equipment to expand my basement workshop.

I have a craftsman 1/2 HP router. The problem is I set my first bit and practicied some cuts but now I am very confussed how to remove the bit? I bought the router used and the person I bought it from told me he lost the wrench used to loosen the piece thath olds the bit, I attempted ot use an adjustable wrench to get it loose, but no luck. Can anyone help out a rookie?

I'm sorry for the stupid question.

Thanks for al lthe responses everyone. Over the weekend I figured it out, I'm a complete fool. The router had a lock on it to stop the spindle. I got it going great and had plenty of practice.

Thanks for the help again, I'll be on the forum alot more looking for some advice.
