Using the Turret Stop for Sequential
Routing Depth Settings
TURN OFF AND UNPLUG ROUTER.
It is recommended that particularly deep grooves be cut with
several passes rather than one deep pass. In order to do this and
still maintain accuracy of depth when the job is finished, perform
the following procedure.
1 . Set the final desired routing depth as instructed above. For
the purpose of this discussion, assume that the desired
depth is 1/2".
2 . With a depth of 1/2" set on the shortest screw in the turret
stop, adjust the second shortest screw to a point about
halfway between the bottom of the knurled knob and the top
of the shortest screw, as shown in Figure 10.
3 . Leave the vernier setting alone and turn the adjusted second
shortest screw into position under the depth stop bar.
4 . Make your first cut at this setting.

5 . Rotate the turret stop so that the shortest screw is directly
under the depth stop bar and make your final cut.
N O T E : The third screw in the turret stop is provided if your cut is
even deeper and you want to make three cuts to achieve the final
depth, or set final depth for multiple cuts at one time.
Operation
After setting the cutting depth as described, locate the router such
that the bit is directly over the place you will be cutting. With the
router running, lower the unit smoothly down into the workpiece.
(DO NOT JAM THE ROUTER DOWN). When the tool reaches
the pre-set depth, depress the Plunge Lock Lever. When you
have finished routing, raise the lever and let the spring lift the
router directly out of the workpiece.
All common routing tasks can be performed with ease with the
Plunge Cut Router: Grooving, rabbeting, recessing, veining, and
profiling on all types of wood and plastic.
Always feed the router opposite to the direction in which the cutter
is rotating.
Only carbide-tipped cutters should be used on panels faced with
plastic laminates. The hard laminates will quickly dull steel cutters.
Your DeWalt certified Service center has a Router Craft Handbook
available at extra cost which covers the use of routers in great
detail and shows the various types of bits available.
Direction Of Feed (Fig. 12)
The direction of feed is very important when routing and can make
the difference between a successful job and a ruined project.
Figures 11 and 12 show proper direction of feed for some typical
c u t s .
Mold the outside edge of a piece of stock by a) mold the end
grain, left to right, b) do the straight grain side moving left to right,
c) finish the other end grain side, and d) do the remaining straight
grain edge.
