Mugzilla:
Wow. Awesome graphics! Alot of time on your hands?
Were you pushing the router through the MDF in the wrong direction?

Okay, okay, I got it! ;D

You know what? I have mine on in the opposite direction! :o
Maybe my router turns in the opposite direction, but it runs clockwise so I have my cutter mounted clockwise too.

:edit: ok I guess the "eg:-)" meant you were probably displaying the improper way to mount the cutter. That's really confusing then! >:( People might misunderstand that image and think that's the way to put it together.

No, I had the bit on correctly, I've owned several bits that required assembly, and I always check the spin of the bit and the direction I need to route before starting. There was no "burning" or struggeling with the router, the carbites simply fell away from the bit. I going to request another 3 wing cutter and see what happens.

Holy crap! <embarrassed grin>
you're right, I just wanted to show how the arbour, blade, and bearing all are seperate, and used the first animated gif i could find..wouldn't you know the pic is a mirror image of the proper placement..(I didn't even take the time to look at that.. ::) ) the blade is on backwards in the pic I got from houseoftools.com..sorry for any confusion..
er, I mean..."I just wanted to show how easily the blade could be put on backwards"... ahem..
;)
