is it OK to insert the shaft of the router bit not completely
Actually a bit is not supposed to be inserted all the way... on some bits a line is scribed on the shaft to indicate the depth… usually about ¾’s of the way…. So yep… don’t stick it all the way in…

The reason is during manufacture, the shaft begins taper out toward the body of the bit ever so slightly, perhaps that’s changed today…(no Idea why) but as Cronkite used to say, “That’s the way it is.”
