Troubleshooting
Router bit chatter or vibration
Ensure the bit is securely tightened in the collet and that the router's speed is appropriate for the wood type and bit size. Check if the wood is properly secured.
Rough or uneven cuts
Clean the bit thoroughly to remove any buildup. Ensure the feed rate is consistent and that the bit is sharp. Verify the wood material is suitable for the bit.
Bit getting hot or melting material
Reduce the router's speed, decrease the depth of cut per pass, or ensure the Teflon coating is intact. Wood may be too soft for the speed being used.
Bit does not fit router collet
Confirm that your router uses a 1/4 inch shank collet. If it does, ensure the collet is clean and free of debris. Check if the collet or the bit shank is damaged.
