This could be one for Argee. My Triton router is always mounted in my table, it's been there for about 4 years. Tonight the fine adjuster stopped working properly. It will wind down but will not wind up - it just appears to jam and if I try to "encourage" it a bit it clicks and jams again.
I have cleaned the posts and wiped them over with a silicone lubricant. There is no dust anywhere that looks like it could cause a jam and if I take the router out of the table and use it the right way up the fine adjuster works perfectly.
It seems it is unable to lift the weight of the router when it is hanging under the table.
I never wind up very far, just a mm or so to achieve the final height because it feels smoother and easier than winding down.
I have run out of ideas for the moment so.......help!!
Cheers.

The spring is out, of course.
