    Thanks guys. The collet doesn't snap into the nut. They are held together by a snap ring, and they come preassembled, I think I just going to order a new collet again. I will eventually need it anyway....Thanks!

    Daniel...
    I can remember a trick from back in the router days. We used to put a piece of pencil eraser in the collet before the bit. For some reason (maybe as Daryl syas above) the bits didnt loosen anywhere near as often.
