Just In Summa F1612: V-bit vs ADC

White Haus

Had a bit of a blonde moment yesterday, forgot to remove the dust boot part before loading a V-bit w/ the ADC on our Summa F1612. Destroyed both the dust boot part and the ADC.

Won't recognize the bit depth anymore despite the laser pointer still (somehow) being intact. It attempted to blow air around the bit/collet like when there is debris in the way of the laser pointer, despite not having anything there.

I guess I just have to bite the bullet and replace the ADC? Any thoughts on anything else I can try? Not totally familiar w/ how it works other than the fact that I assume it recognizes when the bit/blade hits the height of the laser and calibrates depth from there.

I was able to manually set down position after loading bit but not ideal for a permanent solution, we switch between knife tools and router fairly often.

Seems pretty fucked up. You probably need a new one.
Open it up, check how it looks inside.

I can't believe it, but it seem to be working fine now. Haven't swapped the router module over yet to test tangential tools but the ADC seems to be detecting router bits properly again.

I'm assuming that nose cone is mostly to prevent big parts from getting sucked up/jammed near the collet when routing?

If I remember correctly it's to improve the vacuum suction and chip removal.
