Adjusting the Depth Stop on the Plunging/Tilting Base:

The depth stop is located on the front right of the plunging/tilting base. It allows you to preset a

cutting depth and plunge the router bit to the preset depth. The router should be turned off before

attempting to adjust the depth stop position. To adjust the position the upper and lower locking

knobs need to be backed off the upper base housing to allow the depth rod to be turned. The

button in the middle of the upper housing where the rod threads through allows for rapid

adjustment by disengaging the threads from the rod. To make rapid changes, push the button in

and position the rod close to the final position. Release the button and fine tune the position of

the depth rod by turning the rod upward or downward until you have it adjusted to the exact

position you need it. To secure it in place, turn the upper and lower locking knobs against the

upper base housing, which will prevent any movement during use. Do not attempt to adjust the

depth stop rod position while the router is running.

Using Template Guide Bushings with the Marvel 42 and Plunging Base:

The aluminum base is molded with four through holes and hex nut recesses in it to allow you to

use a sub base on the bottom of the aluminum base. There are also four screws and hex nuts

located in the small parts bag in the compartment on the case lid with the clear plastic door over

it. This will allow you to use the MLCS #9339 Universal Base Plate on the Marvel router and

use Porter Cable style template guide bushings with this base. Align the (4) recessed slots in the

accessory baseplate with the (4) holes in the aluminum base. Use the tapered washers included in

the #9339 Universal Baseplate with the (4) machine screws included with the Marvel 40 and

secure the baseplate to the base with the (4) hex nuts. The hex nuts will fit into the recess to keep

them from spinning as the baseplate screws are tightened.
