Troubleshooting
Bit wobbles or vibrates excessively
Ensure the bit is correctly and securely seated in the collet. Check that the collet is the correct size for the bit's shank (3.2mm) and is not damaged. Verify that the rotary tool or router is functioning properly and not experiencing internal issues.
Rough or uneven cuts
Confirm you are operating within the recommended speed (max 30,000 RPM). Ensure the wood is securely clamped. Check the bit for any signs of wear, damage, or resin buildup and clean or replace if necessary. Reduce the depth of cut per pass.
Bit does not fit the collet
Verify that your tool's collet is designed for 3.2mm (1/8 inch) shanks. If your tool came with multiple collet sizes, ensure you are using the correct one for this bit set.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the router bit is securely clamped in the collet of your compatible rotary tool or router. Always tighten the collet firmly to prevent the bit from slipping during operation. Refer to your router's manual for specific instructions on bit installation.

Remove any wood dust or resin buildup with a soft brush or a cloth lightly dampened with a mild cleaning solution. Store the bits in their original wooden box to prevent damage and corrosion. Avoid exposing the bits to excessive moisture.
