Micro Adjustments with the Depth=Stop Rod and Depth=Stop Turret
The Depth-Stop Rod has a Micro Adjustment Knob (G) that turns a screw inside
the rod (B) to raise or lower the Depth-Stop Rod on the Turret (A) for micro-fine
adjustments of the plunge depth.
Each complete revolution of the Micro Adjustment Knob adjusts the plunging
depth 5/127 inch.
When micro-adjusting the plunge depth, always make sure that the micro-
adjustment screw has been turned down (clockwise) several revolutions from its
top, or starting position, before setting the Depth-Stop Rod and Depth-Stop turret.
Always set the micro adjustments with the plunge action in the raised (or up)
position and locked down.
To use the micro-adjustment knob after the depth rod and the turret have been
set, check the final depth setting and micro adjustment as follows:
o To micro-increase the plunge depth, raise the micro-adjustment screw by
turning the knob counterclockwise the desired amount.
• To micro-reduce the plunge depth, lower the micro-adjustment screw by
turning the knob clockwise the desired amount.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT WiTH D=HANDLE BASE (Figs. 18 and 19)
The D-handle base is
designed with a micrometer
fine-adjustment system.
When the bit is lowered to
the approximate setting (the
coarse setting), the system
can then be micro-adjusted to
the precise depth.
Coarse Adjustment:
Depressing the Coarse
Adjustment Knob (B) allows
you to quickly lower or raise
the cutting bit to one of three
depth settings.

Fine Adjustments:
NOTE: Reset the Depth Indicator Ring (E)to "0" (zero) before making fine adjustments.
The Depth indicator Ring (E) located on the Fine Adjustment Dial is marked
in 1/64-in. increments. Turning the Fine Adjustment Dial clockwise 180 ° (1/2
turn), lowers the cutting bit 1/16-inch. One full turn clockwise (360 °) to "0" (zero)
lowers the bit 1/8-in.
