Router Bit won’t budge.

[Justin Rapp]

This happens on my porter cable router. After I loosen the collet nut, I just tap the nut lightly with the wrench and it would free the bit. I don't use this router anymore but if I did, I'd buy a new collet.

I’ve tried to do that a few times and it hasn’t worked, unfortunately.

My hair-dryer is pretty hot. It didn’t work though. Heat did nothing.

[Connie Freitas]

It may have been. It’s like it’s fused on there pretty well. Thanks!

[Connie Freitas]

The Whack-a-mole approach didn’t work.

[Connie Freitas]

Yeah, dryer won’t go that high anyways.
Yes, it’s a pull stud collet.

[Connie Freitas]

If it came out and broke, I actually wouldn’t mind. I can buy a new one. I don’t need it anyways.

[Connie Freitas]

Yeah, if I ever get it out, I’ll be sure to never push it in all the way again, believe me.

[Connie Freitas]

Nope, that wouldn’t work.

[Connie Freitas]

I think I’m going to try taking into a hardware store see if they can get it out.

[Connie Freitas]

It’s not open on the motor end.

[Connie Freitas]

No, and I’ve lost my patience with it several times. Today I was screaming in frustration.

[Connie Freitas]

Funny story Patty.

[Connie Freitas]

I think I’m just going to take it in to a hardware store or repair store of some kind.

[Connie Freitas]

Surprise! It’s me!!!
