DEPTH ROD AND TURRET
The depth rod and the depth stop turret are
used to control cutting depth as follows;
With the bit installed, gently lower the motor
until the tip of the router bit just contacts the
level surface the router is sitting on. This is the
"zero" position, from which further depth
adjustments can be accurately made. To set a
desired depth of cut, rotate depth stop turret
until the lowest step is aligned with the depth
rod. Loosen depth indicator knob and lower the
depth rod until it contacts the lowest step of the
turret. Slide the depth indicator until the red line
indicates zero on the depth scale, indicating
the point at which the bit just contacts the work
(Fig. 8).
To set a desired cutting depth, slide the depth
rod up until the red depth indicator line attains
the desired cutting depth, and secure the rod in
position by firmly tightening the depth indicator
knob. The desired depth of cut may now be
achieved by plunging the router until the depth
rod contacts the selected stop on the turret. To
be certain that your depth settings are as
desired, you may want to make test cuts in
scrap material before beginning work.
For deep cuts, it is recommended to make two
or more passes on the workpiece, each pass
AFTERLOCK FINE ADJUSTMENT
The router is equipped with a true micrometer-
type fine adjustment mechanism, which can be
used in 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. 9).
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. 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", 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

made with the depth rod lowered to a lower
step on the turret. If the total cutting depth is a
multiple of 1/8", this can be done by using only
the regular steps on the turret. If the total
cutting depth is not an increment of 1/8", the
lowest step used should be one with the
adjustable M4 stop screw. The stop screw
should raised as necessary to reach the
desired cutting depth for the last pass.

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.
