I would like to see the photo for the first problem to get a better idea what you are doing, also were you using an EM bit ? As far as the second problem are you sure the router i...

Brittell Your way ahead of all of us. A year ago when many of us got our Shark the manual was not as good as the one you got with a toilet seat you bought at Home Depot.
