I haven't used my Freud FT2000E for a while and I now find that the 1/2" collet sticks when I try to remove a bit. The nut comes completely un-threaded and the collet stays in tightly.
I guess I'm getting too old because I can't remember it the collet nut is supposed to stay connected to the collet with a spring washer.
I someone could check their FT2000E and let me know, I would really appreciate it.
