NOTE:  MOVED TO Festool Jigs & Tool Enhancements » Chuck Lock - CMS GE & 1400 Router

Anyone have a good method for bit changing in the CMS with a 1400 installed?
 
I just open up the fence as wide as they will go, crank the bit / collet up as high as it will go swap the bits/ insert as necessary reset the set the gap in the fence , bit height and press on
 
If you have the router switch locked "on," you must release it for the ratchet lock to engage.
 
Thanks for the input...I have all these things in mind when changing bits- no problems.

[big grin] Just a minor personal point....I sure wish the engineers would devise an option to depress the chuck lock from behind the table, eliminating the "touchy-feely" procedure for finding the rocker lever under the table.
