Really pleased with my recently purchased CMT router, except for one rather irritating thing... The router bits get stuck fast in the collet and I have to remove the collet completely and bash the end on my workbench before it will (eventually...) release the bit.I asked Axminster to send me a new 1/4" collet and nut. They sent my JUST a new collet. Tried it tonight and it is the same. Therefore, also tried the 1/2" collet. It too got the bit stuck fast.Now I'm figuring that it is:A) The nut that is at fault.B) I'm overtightening the nut?c) There is something else that I am doing wrong?Interested to know whether anyone else has had a similar experience?Cheers
