When i couldn't get the bits to go fully into the collet, i thought maybe i was doing something wrong, and when one of the bits flew out of the machine when i tried to use it, i knew i had to ask an expert.

I have some issues: -the speed dial isn't marked, and will adjust itself when the router starts vibrating ( I solved this with a lump of blu-tack. They mention it has plenty of power, is a great router, and looks and feels like a nice workhorse no-frills tool.The machine was collected free of charge, and i eventually got refunded (after a bit of prompting) so i didn't lose out financially (apart from, possibly, on the unused router bit set) but it was a waste of time and effort.
