- Boy is it nice to be able to tell someone an easy solution. Don't tap
- the router bit, tap the nut which gets tightened over the collet.
- This will cause the collet to let go and then you can just pick the
- bit out with your fingers. It would be good thing to clean up bits,
- collets and chuck when you get it apart.
