=====Tool Change=====

==== ====

Changing of tool is an operation only to be carried out by a Level 2 certified user or the Fabrication Lab Supervisor. 

  * Move router to over bed (this is so if the bit drops it doesn't hit the ground)
  * Pair the right sized collet for the cutting Tool you have selected 
  * Blow collet out clean with compressed air
  * Blow Collet nut out clean with compressed air and inspect (clean collet nut with steel wool if required). 
  * Inspect Clamping nut surfaces on the Spindle (clean with steel wool if required and blow out clean with compressed air)
  * Fit collet in Collet nut with an audible //click// 

==== Tool Change Continued====
  * Hand tighten collet nut (and collet) onto spindle - // take care not to cross thread//
  * Place Bit into clamping hole of collet and hand tighten until collet begins to grip bit. 
  * Adjust bit so that approx 5mm of bit shank is exposed below collet (ensuring swarf will clear flutes of bit without feeding up into collet. 
  * Tighten Collet nut using Collet nut Spanner and Spindle Spanner. **Note** not too tight.
