I have had the TRA001 (3HP) router in my table for a little over a year. A few months ago, I noticed when I released the lock, the bit would drop a little. I had not removed the spring as the manual said but since doing that the problem has actually gotten worse.
If the last adjustment was downward, then no problem, but if the last adjustment was upward, when you release the lock, it drops. Sometimes by almost 1/8". Needless to say, this plays havoc trying to dial in a setting.
I've contacted Triton tech support and the reply I got was "Its the nature of the beast." I wish I had know that before I bought the router! They say the armature needs to be adjusted. I'm guessing its got something to do with runout.
Needless to say, I am not happy at all about this at all since I've got a pretty big kitchen project coming up and I'm not too confident they will be able to fix it.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, have you come up with any fixes?
