The new Freud 2000 3 1/4 hp showed up today, and it leaves me with a few questions.
While its intended home is the new nahm router station, and I have two others for the occassional 1/4 bit I may use, how exactly does one get the Freud 1/4 split(?), collet(?)... whatever they call it -- into the machine. The directions seem to imply one slips it into the regular collet, but it does not want to go.
also, it would appear there is a piece of plastic for dust collection, but the book is silent on it.
Wing nuts. Wing nuts? Two wing nuts? Pray, tell, father, what are the wing nuts for?
The instructions are also silent on the plastic shield for the bit, though I suspect Freud realizes this machine is destined for table use and hence the shield itself is of little use. After all, the screw that holds it in place has a 'star' cut, and how many of us have those tools lying around.
I look forward to the responses ..
If I had a really good sig file, this is where it would go ....
