5. Slide the Depth Rod 38 up until the red
line on the Depth Indicator 41 reaches
the desired cutting depth and secure
the rod in position by firmly tightening
the Thumb Screw 37.
6. The desired depth of cut may now be
achieved by plunging the router until
the Depth Rod 38 contacts the turret.
Alternate Set-up for Depth of the
Rod and Turret
(Fig. 31)
1. Place a jig at the desired routing depth
(such as a hinge which needs to be mor-
tised) on the bottom step of the turret.
2. Loosen the Thumb Screw 43 then lower
the Depth Rod 44 until it contacts the
jig.
3. Secure the rod in position by firmly
tightening the Thumb Screw 43.
4. Remove the jig.
Rod and Turret Fine Depth
Adjustment
The plunge base is equipped with a fine ad-
justment system that allows you to micro
adjust the plunge depth of the router bit for
superior routing accuracy.
Each complete revolution of the fine adjust-
ment knob adjusts the plunging depth by
1/32", and each of the four indicator marks
on the knob represents 1/128".
To use the fine adjustment knob:
1. To prepare for fine depth adjustments,
turn the Fine Adjustment Knob 40 four
revolutions clockwise so adjustments
can be made in either direction.
2. Follow the steps in "Using the Rod and
Turret for Plunge Base" on page 27 to
set up the Plunge Base to the desired
depth.
3. Push down the Plunge Lock Lever 36
and apply downward pressure using the
Plunge Base Grips 35 until the end of
the Depth Rod 38 touches the Depth
Stop Turret 39.
4. Loosen the Thumb Screw 37.

Operation
5. To increase the plunge depth, turn the
Fine Adjustment Knob 40 counter-clock-
wise until the red line on the Depth
Indicator 41 reaches the desired cutting
depth, then slide the Depth Rod 38
down until the end touches the Depth
Stop Turret 39.
6. To decrease the plunge depth, turn
the Fine Adjustment Knob 40 clockwise
until the red line on the Depth Indicator
41 reaches the desired cutting depth.
7. Once the desired cutting depth is
reached, secure the rod in position by
firmly tightening the Thumb Screw 37.
Note: The fine adjustment stop cannot be
used to reduce the plunge depth when the
depth rod is already touching the depth stop
turret. The router must be raised before
such an adjustment can be made.
Deep Cuts
For deep cuts, make several progressively
deeper cuts by starting at one depth and
then make several subsequent passes, in-
creasing the cutting depth with each pass.
To be certain that your depth settings are as
desired, you may want to make test cuts in
scrap material before beginning work.
