Router bits are a general name for bits that generate joints, grooves, and profiles. These are normally utilized by construction companies; they can be added to a house owner's toolbox for a wide range of usage. The high speed can easily burn the wood and detach the temper from the wood. This makes the router a bit dull. Present-day, tungsten carbide tips are almost entirely soldered to router bits. This results in a significantly firmer cutting edge that isn't as influenced by heat, letting it stay sharper for longer and cut straighter. When used and maintained properly, a carbide router bit can last for decades without deteriorating in cutting quality making the best router bit sets for woodworking.

in wood. The tool consists of a motor that drives a cutting bit; the bit spins quickly and cuts the wood. The router can be moved horizontally through the wood to form a desired shape, and the type of edge on the shape is determined by the design of the router bit. Different edge designs can be cut by changing bits. It is very easy to change the bit on a Black & Decker router.
Step 1
Turn the router off and ensure that it is disconnected from the power supply. Wait for the router bit to cool down if it was recently used.
Step 2
Detach the chip shield from the back of the face plate.
Step 3
Depress the spindle lock button on the side of the router and rotate the spindle until it locks.
Step 4
Turn the router upside down and place it on a flat surface.
Step 5
Keep the spindle lock button depressed and loosen the collet nut that holds the bit with the spanner wrench. The collet is the device on the router that holds the bit in place.
Step 6
Remove the bit and insert the shank of the new bit into the collet. The shank should protrude at least 1/8" from the collet.
Step 7
Keep the spindle lock button depressed and tighten the collet nut with the wrench.
Step 8
Release the spindle lock button. Reattach the chip shield.
It only accepts 1/4" hex shank bits and nut drivers. Mine just pops in and to release it, you push the black collar around the bit down. Cannot put round end bits in it. Only hex shanks
Not all bits for hammer drills are the same as the slots in the sides of the shanks are different between makes . There is a standard between hilti and ramset drill bits but other makers have different ideas Check out the shanks of your drill bits and look for the slot that holds in the bit.
My invisible zipper foot is a plastic generic one which was describd as being "low shank" and it works fine on three different Elnas I own.
I would have thought your machine was a low shank style too, there is a fair bit of similarity between feet with low shank clip on style. So if your feet clip on and off the shank, then you should be able to clip on another type of foot too.
then go through to the page for the foot attachment system that looks like yours you might be able to establish which one you need. THere is a brother high shank invisble foot listed, and an alternative part number. I jcan't see a Brother SC9500 machine listed so you might need to do a bit of elimination.
You could also email sewingpartsonline.com and ask them to help you identify the right foot.
The collet is loosely screwed on, correct?
Is it close, or 1/4" off. You may need an adapter for different sized bits.
I have noticed, particularly with Freud bits, that they seem a bit oversized. Try putting the bit in the collet before you insert the collet into the router.
If you're very careful, you can use fine emory cloth (like 400 grit or higher) to polish the bit by cutting a long strip and clamping the bit in a vice, then gently polish the shank a little to allow it to fit into the collet. Pull back and forth on the ends of the sandpaper like you were buffing shoes, but I would only recommend this if you can use a micrometer to check the shank and it is in fact oversize.
You could create a dangerous situation if you polish too much and the bit is not held securely in the collet and flies out when the router is under load.
Another technique is to sand a slight chamfer on the end of the bit to help it slide into the collet.
Or return it and try another brand.

If it's an inexpensive bit, odds are it's spinning in the chuck. If the chuck key can't tighten the jaws well enough, you'll need to borrow or buy a different drill (or you could replace the chuck).
If you bought an SDS bit (one with slots milled in the shank), you're best off buying a bit made for a standard drill. It's not impossible to get a SDS bit to chuck into a standard drill, but it's difficult and they often slip loose during drilling, messing up the hole.
