If you use your router under a table a lot, it would be great to be able to adjust the router with a suitable knob unless you enjoy fumbling around for a small round knob with little knurling to get a good grip. For this reason, I bought this height adjustment knob and it serves the purpose.
My disappointment started after removing the smaller plastic knob's set screw. I wasn't sure how to remove the knob. Was it threaded or a friction fit? I had no idea (no instructions come with it) So I took a chance and stood the router upside down and began to gently tap with a small tack hammer just under the knob and fortunately it fell off.
Disappointment No. 2: After installing the New knob, I replaced the set screw which threads into the center shaft but does not seat. The holes in both the shaft and the knob go through both sides!! Maybe a roll pin would have been more appropriate here. Furthermore, there is so much play between the shaft and the knob collar that it rocks back and forth slightly when the router is plunged and locked. You would not expect this from a German quality product!!
This router is too good to let this happen. C'mon guys!
