AFTERLOCK FINE ADJUSTMENT
The MRP01 is equipped with a true
micrometer-type fine adjustment mechanism,
which can be used after the plunge lock has
been set at any plunge position and provides
precise adjustment of the router bit position for
unmatched accuracy. When the tool is plunged
to the approximate position desired, this device
may be adjusted to precisely set the final bit
position (Fig. 11).
• To use the fine adjustment, turn the fine
adjustment knob clockwise to lower the
router bit or counter-clockwise to raise it.
• To allow precise settings, the indicator ring
is graduated in Imperial and Metric
increments, each line is equal to .004” or
1/10 mm.
• One full turn of fine adjustment knob = 1/16"
or approximately 1.5 mm
• The fine adjustment indicator may be reset
to zero without moving the fine adjustment
knob, to allow the user to begin the
adjustment from any reference point
desired.
• The fine adjustment mechanism has a total
adjustment range of 5/8” (16 mm), which is
indicated by the index marker on the back of
the housing.
• Whenever the fine adjustment is used, be
certain that the index marker is positioned
between the two lines to ensure enough
travel in the desired direction after the router
is plunged into position.
• Note that when the router is plunged to
maximum depth or is fully retracted to the
top of the posts, the fine adjustment knob
cannot move the motor further down or up,
as the full extension of travel has been
reached.
• Similarly, the fine adjustment knob cannot
lower the bit when the depth rod is tightened
against the depth turret.
To be certain that your depth settings are as
desired, you may want to make test cuts in
scrap material before beginning work.
