DEPTH STOP SYSTEM
See Figure 10.
The depth stop block located on the base of your router
makes it possible to make deep or heavy cuts in
successive passes by use of preset depth of cut changes.
Both fixed and adjustable stops are provided, making
depth of cut changes quick and easy. The depth stop
block, also known as a revolving turret, rotates on a ball
detent design in the router base.
A preset cutting depth is achieved by plunging router until
stop bar comes in contact with the stop screw or fixed
stop on depth stop block.
The fixed stops are approximately 1/8 in. apart. The
adjustable stops have screws that may be adjusted
approximately 1/2 in,

TO SET DEPTH STOP BLOCK SETTINGS
• UNPLUG YOUR ROUTER.
• Loosen lock knob and turn adjustment knob clockwise,
raisingstop bar to it's highest position.
• Determine which stop, adjustable or fixed, to use for
the desired depth of cut. A combination of the two stop
types can be used ifrequired for a specific job. If using
the adjustable stops, the stop screw on each stop can
be adjusted to the desired height by loosening hex nut
with a 3/8 in. wrench, and turning it in or out with your
fingers. Secure stop screw in position by retightening
hex nut with wrench. Do not overtighten hex nut. Set
stops to desired heights, spreading the entire depth of
cut over the number of stops used.
Rotate depth stop block until the highest depth stop is
aligned with the stop bar.
