On the motor shaft inside the cover there is a hole, when you push in the spindle lock button that pushes a pin into the hole. You have to rotate the shaft by hand until you reach where the hole is and hold it in while you change the bit. Hope that works for you.

Try pushing up on the spindle as you turn it as your first option. Sometimes it is just a matter of aligning the hole.

I'm going to upload all the parts manuals in a new thread.

The piece of the spindle that has the hole in it for the spindle lock pin is actually pressed onto the end if the motor shaft. For some reason this piece slips down the shaft. It may be that if the bit is placed up too high and butts against the motor shaft that when the collet nut is tightened the piece that has the hole is torqued down the shaft and kind of breaks the press fit. Try using a block of wood on the end of the spindle and lightly tap the piece back into place. The engineers are working on a fix.

In Buckys case I think Bob is on the money.

That might be the case because the owners manual says to push the bit as high as it will go before you wrench it down.

Actually another problem can arise if the bit is up too high. When carving if the bit is too high when the router moves down on the Z-axis it can actually hit the limit switch which will shut the machine down giving an error 21.

When changing bits I usually hold my thumb in position so that there is appx a 1/2" of the bit shank exposed to insert into the collet , this seems to work out fine for me, in terms of the Z axis travel and the issue of the spindle lock hole alignment.

I recently purchased a refurbished 1013, it was missing several parts, after getting new parts sent to me I think they sent me the wrong size collet, I cant get the factory bits to fit inside the collet. does anyone know the correct size collet I need for the factory bits?

The correct collet is the ER-11 size for standard 1/4" diameter shafts ( 0.25 Inch ), Size for metric bits is ER-11 for 6mm shafts ( 0.236 inch ). You might be able to get one from Amazon quicker, don't go for the cheapest as they are not as precisely made
Amazon linklink 2Both of these listings have a runout of .0002 where as the cheaper ones runout is .015 or so. It is possible you got a metric collet and have standard inch size bits, and that might be the reason they don't fit. |
