Have any of you used a Freud FT2000 in a router table without removing the springs? I was hoping I wouldn't have to reconfigure everything if I wanted to remove it from the table and do some plunge routing. Maybe it's stiff because it's still new, but it seems too hard to adjust with all the weight of the router plus the force of the springs opposing the plastic adjustment knobby.
I built the router table myself, and for now at least, there is no insert; the router hangs from the table top itself.
Your thoughts and advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
