4. Lock the Plunge-Depth Locking Lever (F). This position is now "0" (zero), the
point from which further depth adjustments can be made.
5. Rotate the depth-stop turret until the lowest step of the turret (A) is aligned
directly under the Depth-Stop Rod (B) (see Fig.16).
6. Loosen the Depth-Rod Locking Knob (C) and lower the Depth-Stop Rod until
it contacts the lowest step on the turret.
7. Slide the Clear Plastic Depth-Indicator (D) until the red line on the indicator
is lined up with "0" (zero) on the bottom of the depth scale. This is now
indicating point at which the bit makes contact with the workpiece.
8. To set a desired cutting depth, slide the Depth-Stop Rod up until the Red
Line on the Clear Plastic Depth-Indicator points to the desired cutting depth
on the Depth Scale (E). Secure the Depth-Stop Rod at this position by
tightening the Depth Rod Locking Knob.
9. Unlock the Plunge Lock Lever (F) to allow the bit to automatically retract to
the UP position.
10. The desired depth-of-cut may now be achieved by plunging the router down
until the depth-stop rod contacts the selected step on the depth-stop turret.
Making Deep Cuts with the Depth=Stop Turret (Fig. 17)
NOTE: Making a single,
deep cut is never advisable.
Smaller diameter cutting
bits are easily broken by too
much side thrust and torque.
Larger cutting bits will cause
a rough cut and be difficult to
guide and control. For these
reasons, do not exceed 1/8-
in. depth of cut in a single
pass.
To produce deep cuts, always
make several, progressively
deeper cuts by starting with
the Highest Step on the depth-
stop turret, and, after each cut, rotate the turret to the next lowest step until the
final Lowest or Last step is reached.
The 5 steps progress by 1/8th-in. increments. The 5 steps represent a range of 3/8
in. to 7/8 in. with a full 360 ° rotation of the turret. Repeat this process if necessary.
