Tight DeWalt 611 Precision Grade Collet

[NestingGoodsLlc]

I have been having the same problem. I found this other thread that seems to solve it. I’m stuck at work, so I haven’t tried yet, but it makes sense given the design of the collet/nut. Good luck!

Precision collet jamming [SOLVED]

I purchased the 1/8" precision collet for the Dewalt 611 with my X Carve. This is the one sold only on the X Carve configuration page, and not elsewhere on the site. Every time I have used it, I cannot remove my 1/8" bits without first removing the collet nut and then putting a wrench on the collet itself to remove it. Basically, I have to (forcefully) pull the entire collet out of the 611 in order to release my 1/8" bits. Does anyone else have this problem?
