MICRO-ADjUSTMENTS WITH THE DEPTH-STOP
ROD AND DEPTH-STOP TURRET
(fig 5)
The depth-stop rod has a micro adjustment knob
(A) that turns a screw (B) (inside the rod) either
clockwise or counterclockwise to lower or raise
the depth-stop rod on the turret (C) for micro
adjustment of the plunge depth.
Each complete revolution of the micro-adjustment
knob adjusts the plunging depth by approximately
1/32".
When micro-adjusting the plunge depth, always make sure that the micro-adjustment screw has been
turned down (clockwise) several revolutions from its top before setting the depth-stop rod and depth-
stop turret.
Always set your 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 turret have been set, check the final depth
setting and micro-adjust as follows:
•
To micro-increase the plunge depth, raise the micro-adjustment screw by turning the knob counter-
clockwise the desired amount.
•
To micro-reduce the plunge depth; lower the micro-adjustment screw by turning the knob clockwise
the desired amount.
DEPTH-STOP ROD AND DEPTH-STOP TURRET
(fig 4)
The Depth-Stop Rod and the Depth-Stop Turret are
used to control the plunge action cutting depth as
follows:
1. Turn the motor off and unplug the router from
the power source.
2. Place the router on a flat, level surface.
3. With the cutter bit already installed, lower
the plunge action until the cutter bit makes
contact with the flat, level surface on which
the router is sitting. Lock the plunge-depth
locking lever (F). This position is ZERO - “0” from which further depth adjustments can be made.
4. To set a desired depth-of-cut, rotate the depth-stop turret until the lowest step of the turret (A) is
aligned directly under the depth-stop rod (B). Loosen the depth-rod locking knob (C) and lower the
depth-stop rod until it contacts the lowest step on the turret (A).
5. Slide the clear plastic depth indicator (D) until the red line on the indicator is lined up with ZERO
- “0”, marked in black on the bottom of the depth scale. (This is now the indicating the point at
which the bit makes contact with the workpiece).
6. To set a desired cutting depth, slide the depth-stop rod (B) up until the red line on the clear plastic
depth-indicator points to your desired cutting depth on the depth scale (E). Secure the depth-stop
rod (B) at this position by tightening the depth-rod locking knob (C).
7. Unlock the plunge-depth locking lever (F) to allow the bit to automatically retract to the "Up" position.
8. 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.
NOTICE:
When making depth adjustments on the plunge base, the motor clamp should always be
closed securely.
USING THE DEPTH-STOP TURRET TO SET UP DEEP CUTS
NOTICE:
Making a single deep cut is never advisable. Smaller diameter cutter bits are easily broken by
too much side thrust and torque. Larger cutter bits will cause a rough cut and be difficult to guide and
control. For these reasons, do not exceed 1/8" 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 lower step until the lowest step is reached.
Each of the steps progresses by 1/4". increments. The 4 steps represent a total of “0” to 3/4" with a
full 360° rotation of the turret. Repeat this process if necessary.
