I purchased a reconditioned Hitachi M12VC Router from Big Sky Tools a while ago and am having problems removing bits from the collet. With most routers, tapping the bit with a block of wood was all it took to release it. I've run some emery cloth around the inside of the collet but still have problems removing the bit. It slides in smooth as silk and I'm sure I'm not over tightening the collet. I returned it to Hitachi for repair but the problem persists.
Other than buying a replacement collet, any other suggestions? If a replacement is needed, what brand do you suggest?
Thanks for your input.
