Just bought a router for my t-molding bit and the bit does not fit?
I apologize in advance if this is a ridiculous question but it is obvious I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to buying tools.
I bought this bit after seeing it was the exact one someone used for a TMNT restore (which is what I am doing):
And here is the router I bought: http://www.dewalt.com/products/powe...ariable-speed-compact-router-with-leds/dwp611
The problem is...the bit does not fit!
Now I do try to do as much homework before buying something (especially an expensive tool I will probably use for 20 minutes my entire life) but nothing on the box or on the website indicated that it only takes certain bits. I kind of figured router bits would be a bit...standardized? I never had to wonder if a drill bit was going to work on my drill!
So anyway I obviously wasted my time and will have to return this to Lowe's. But what exactly am I going to be looking for there? I don't want one of those huge table routers because this needs to be done by hand on the cabinet itself. Did I buy the wrong bit? What on the back of the packaging of the bit indicates whether or not it is going to be compatible with a particular router?
Sorry if this is a ridiculous question but even reading intricate details about the product gives me no clues!
Thanks in advance!
