Why does my Wen RT6033 Power Tool router vibrate excessively?

  Excessive vibration in your Wen Power Tool router can occur if the router bit isn't tightened properly. Ensure the collet nut is fully tightened with a wrench. Vibration can also happen if the router bit diameter is too large, causing imbalance. Reduce the router speed, and if the vibration is severe, stop using that bit. A bent router bit shaft or worn router bit bearings can also cause vibration; in these cases, discard the router bit.

Why does my Wen RT6033 routed profile burn?

  Burning during routing with your Wen Power Tool can be due to several factors. The router bit may be dull and need replacing. Try reducing the router speed or increasing the feed speed. If the material is prone to burning, take a shallow clean-up pass with a higher feed rate. Also, if the burn is below the profile, the router bit guide bearing (if present) may be worn and need replacement.

  If the router bit slips in the collet of your Wen Power Tool, it could be that the collet and mating arbor taper are pitted from acids and oil in the wood and need cleaning. Remove the collet from the router and use a plastic scrubbing pad to clean the outer taper of the collet and the interior taper of the arbor. Ensure no plastic or metal debris is left after cleaning, and then reinsert the collet. Alternatively, the router bit might be damaged and need replacement.

  If the motor of your Wen Power Tool does not start, first check the power cord, power plug, and the power outlet to ensure they are in good condition and properly connected. Do not use the machine if the power cord is damaged. Another possible cause is worn motor carbon brushes. Inspect the carbon brushes and replace them if needed.

  If your Wen Power Tool router does not plunge smoothly, make sure the plunge lock lever is unlocked by pushing it out. Another possibility is that the plunge posts may be scratched or damaged. Inspect the plunge posts for any signs of damage.
