Jl_ WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
during power tool operations, or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also
wear a dust mask.
Always make sure that the cutter bit shank, collet/nut and motor spindle are
clean and free of woodchips, dust, residue, grease and rust before installing a
cutter bit or collet/nut.
Apply a slight amount of machine oil to the spindle shaft if it looks dry.
Replace a worn or damaged collet/nut immediately.

the collet/nut a little more until it releases.

grind so that the clearance angle the same as originally ground.
