Hello,
Some time ago, I bunged up my Colt palm router so that the fine adjustment was stripped (I hope that I'm wrong here).
When trying to make fine adjustments w the router and housing/base aligned properly, the threads don't engage.
the male/router part:
398942
The female/housing part:
(Do these threads looked stripped to you?)
398940
Have tried numerous times to tighten the housing @ the indicated "Quick Clamp System Lever", thinking that the outside/base part was not tight enough.
398943
Even when tightening so much that it is difficult to rotate the router in/out of position, the fine adjustment system does not work.
Anyone encountered this before, and have a relatively easy fix?
It seems to me like the metal on the router itself is softer than that of the bolt so that the threads on the router (instead of the easily replaceable bolt) are mangled.....which is a more difficult fix, right?
What to do?
Thanks guys, always appreciate your help.
