DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENTS
See Figures 6, 7, and 8.
When routing a groove thatis too deep to safelycut in one pass,
itis bestto make the cut in several pasees. We recommendthat
severalpasses be made to reach deeper cuts.
Proper depth of cut depends on several factors: horee-
power of router motor, type of cutter being used, and type
of wood being routed. A lightweight, low horsepower
router is designed for making shallow cuts. A router with
high horsepower rating can safely cut deeper. Small bits,
such as 1/4 in. shank veining bits with 1/16 in. cutting
diameters, are designed to remove only small amounts of
wood. Large bits, such as 1/2 in. shank straight-flute bits,
are made to remove larger amounts of wood in a single
pass. Cuts can be made deeper in soft woods, such as
white pine, than in tough hardwoods, like oak or maple.
Based upon these considerations, choose a depth of cut
that will not place excessive strain on router motor. If you
find that extra force is needed or that the motor speed
slows down considerably, turn off router and raise the bit.
Then, make the cut in two or more passes.
TO SET DEPTH OF CUT
•
UNPLUG YOUR ROUTER.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your router
could result in accidental starting causing
serious injury.

•
Raise cutter by depressing plunge release actuator.
See Figure 6.
•
Adjust depth control knob until cutter is inside router
subbase. See Figure 7.
•
Place router on a flat surface..
•
Lower router until tip of cutter barely touches flat
surface. See Figure 8.
•
Squeeze plunge lock actuator to lock cutter at "zero"
depth of cut. Note: If desired, adjust depth control knob
until hex nut comes in contact with stop flange. This
will provide a positive stop at "zero" depth of cut.'
•
Rotate depth stop block to desired position, loosen lock
knob, then turn adjustment knob until stop bar touches
stop screw on depth stop block.
•
Slide zero-reset indicator up or down the scale on stop
bar until white line on zero-reset indicator aligns with a
desired reference point. For example, align white line
with 1 in. mark on the scale.
•
Next, turn adjustment knob in the opposite direction,
lifting stop bar to obtain desired depth of cut. See
Figure 8. For example, if setting 1/8 in. depth of cut, the
zero-reset indicator will move 1/8 in. from the 1 in.
reference point. Tighten knob securely.
•
Position your router so that the cutter can extend below
the subbase for desired depth setting.
•
Depress plunge release actuator.
•
Grasp handles and lower router until stop bar contacts
stop screw. Squeeze plunge lock actuator, locking
cutter at desired depth of cut. See Figure 9.
