I am in the middle of a project, I just did the carving and the bit plate came out just fine, but when I loaded the v60 bit, the plate does not swing out far enough for the bit to hit the plate. The truck does not seem to be moving far enough to engage the plate and make it swing out. Any ideas?

Ok, fixed the problem, had a piece of shaving caught under the bit plate.

Don't you wish all the fixes were that easy?

yea I sure do...LOL, I was carving cutting boards and the brown maple really makes lots of shavings, they get where they shouldn't
