Hi , I've got a Delta HD shaper , newer model. It includes a 43-800 router bit spindle I've never used. The spindle has two interchangeable collets for 1/4" and 1/2" bits. When you go to install a bit, there are two flats on the spindle that I assume are there to hold the spindle in place when tightening the collet. The odd thing is the flats are not parallel. So seem to call for a special tapered wrench. No such wrench seems to exist anywhere that I can find. So, what am I missing? I know lots of folks have these adapters. How do you actually install and remove the bits? I know there is controversy about using router bits in shapers. Not interested in confronting that , just how to properly install bits in the adapter.
Thanks for any help,
David
