The spindle will not let go of the collet

1 comments:

Mr. Anderson

March 2, 2025

The spindle may not release the collet on the Laguna TOOLS IQ PRO due to sawdust buildup in the collet slots or improper cleaning. The manual advises that collets and the spindle nut must be cleaned regularly to ensure proper function. If the collet is stuck, inspect and clean it to remove any debris.
