I bought this router along with the rest of the JET JTAS cabinet saw package - used, as I've posted here earlier.
I noticed when I inspected the router at the previous owner's house that there was some slight play in the spindle of the router, but I got the price down low enough that the router was not a big deal.
I would like to use it though and the play still remains even after I tighten up the flange nut(?) at the bottom of the spindle. Is this just a defective router or is there something else I can do to reduce the play, or is the play normal? When I grab a router bit that has been secured in the collet, I can get it to make a clicking sound by pulling it from side to side, my Freud Router does not do this.
Please advise, thanks
