Top 20 Black & Decker 11A 1 Router Questions & Answers

Nearly all routers have a locking pin that you depress to lock the rotor then you should have a set of wrenches that came with the unit to loosen the mandrel and release the bit. Then just reverse the process to install the new bit.

i have found that most times there is a slight bit of rust on the bit

buff it down with some 150 paper,and also buff inside the collet

If you are doing freehand routing, you need bits with a ball bearing on the end to track the un-machined edge of the work. Other complicated designs require some form of 'jig' or fence that controls the position of the bit. If you didn't receive an owner's manual with your bequest, it would be helpful to find some good how-to manuals at specialty wood-working stores which also give you ideas for projects, making jigs, using a router table, and other useful information. Use a decent respirator and safety glasses when routing as they produce prodigious amounts of fine wood dust. Don't smoke while using the router as the dust in the air is quite explosive if ignited. The pictures in these manuals show how the router is mounted in the table and how to use it properly. The bits that you use must be very sharp to make clean cuts without also making smoke. Hope you find this useful!

the third standard handheld collet size is 8mm (thank the germans for that). you could either get a new 8mm collet for the router or for cheaper get a 1/2" to 8mm reducing sleeve from a good tool stockist or ebay... the sleeves are unversal. the collets are not...

good luck

Yes, the difference is the air flow over the 1000 watt element, blow dryer, uses lots of air, heat gun uses a lesser airflow.

Have you tried it on another battery? Sounds like your old battery is stuffed!

First I question what's the charger doing for whatever you are charging or is it charging? I would say if the only problem is a hum and all else is OK then don't worry, let it be.

It appears that you have adaptors for the blades that are the same thickness as the blades Place the adaptor in the centre and then put on the spindle and tighten up the plates onto the blade.

It means one of two things. Either you do not have a good connection from the charger to the battery, check and clean the clamps and terminals, or the battery has too low a charge. A smart charger needs to measure the existing charge before it will work.

A tommy bar is used to lock shaft whilst collett is tightened or reverse by spanner. Easier if motor unit removed from clamp assembly
