Gday all,
I currently have a Ryobi ERT2100 plunge router and to be honest I like it a lot and have built a lot of different jigs and found it to be one of my most used tools next to a hammer (always good as a throwing implement) two questions I have.
1. New model - Really after some advice here I love the power of the current one though I don't like the need to push the router to the required depth and locking it in, I've noticed the Triton 1400W and 2400W dual mode 1/2 have what looks like a rack and pinion operated by a twisting handle and was hoping for some feedback on whether anyone has used one of these. I'm also keen on anyone's input on the collet locking mechanism as this has been a problem on my current router.
2. Repair - Secondly my current router has been great but unfortunately in my hast the other day I didn't wind the collet nut on correctly and damaged the thread a little, it looks like it uses the UNF format of thread and it is damaged just to the point that under torque it just doesn't bite and get started however with out any collet pressure you can wind the nut on fine. I am going to take it to Searle Fasteners to see what they can do but if I have to I'm willing to trim the damage section of thread off (about 2-3mm) and buy a new nut and collet unless someone can give me better advice. I live in the Mandurah area if anyone knows and can recommend anyone locally.
I'm keen to get it back up and running as I have a few projects I need to finish and duck taping the bit in just wont cut it... thats just a joke by the way I use clag glue.
Anyhow any advice would be great on either question.
Damien
