DEPTH STOP
See Figures 10 and 11.
The depth stop is located on the base of your router and
makes it possible to make deep or heavy cuts in
successive passes by use of the Accu-Stop™ Micro-
Adjustable Depth Stop System. Alignment marks make
depth of cut changes quick and easy.
A preset cutting depth is achieved by plunging router
until stop bar comes in contact with depth stop. The
micro-adjusting feature provides alignment marks at
each 90° rotation of the depth stop knob. Each 90°
rotation of the knob changes depth of cut setting 1/64 in.
(0.4 mm).
See Figure 10.
A complete rotation (360°) of the depth stop knob changes
the depth of cut setting 1/16 in. (1.6 mm).
See Figure 11.
The Accu-Stop™ Micro-Adjustable Depth Stop System
provides for depth of cut changes to be made from 0 to
1/2 in. (12.7 mm) from the initial setting of the stop bar.
This initial setting of the stop bar can be "zero" depth of
cut, or it can be any depth of cut setting that you choose
as a starting point for a particular job to be performed.
