DEPTH ROD AND TURRET

The depth rod and the depth stop turret are used to control cutting depth as follows;

1.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.

2.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. 40).

3.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.

4.The desired depth of cut may now be achieved by plunging the router until the depth rod contacts the lowest stop on the turret.

ALTERNATE SET-UP FOR

DEPTH ROD AND TURRET

1.An alternative to place a jig of the desired routing depth (such as a hinge which needs to be mortised) on the bottom step of the turret.

2.Next, lower the depth rod until it contacts the jig.

3.Secure the rod in position by firmly tightening the depth indicator knob.

4.Finally, remove the jig.

DEEP CUTS

For deeper cuts, make several progressively deeper cuts by starting with the highest step on the depth turret, and after each cut, rotate the depth turret to progressively lower steps as desired, until the final depth (lowest step or flat) is reached. Steps progress by 1/8” increments.

To be certain that your depth settings are as desired, you may want to make test cuts in scrap material before beginning work.

FINE ADJUSTMENT

The PR011 plunge base is equipped with a fine adjustment system that allows you to micro adjust the plunge depth of the router bit for superior routing accuracy.

Each complete revolution of the fine adjustment knob adjusts the plunging depth by 1/32”, and each of the four indicator marks on the knob represents 1/128”.

DEPTH STOP

TURRET

To use the fine adjustment knob, once the depth rod and turret have been set, check the final depth setting and fine-adjust as follows:

To micro-increase the plunge depth, raise the fine adjustment stop by turning it counter- clockwise by the desired amount.

To micro-reduce the plunge depth, lower the fine adjustment stop by turning it clockwise by the desired amount.

Notes:

•When micro-adjusting the plunge depth, it is more convenient to move the fine adjustment stop up than down. Before setting the depth rod and turret, make sure the fine adjustment stop has been turned several revolutions down from its top position so that it can be adjusted upward.

•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.

THE PR012 ROUTER DUST COLLECTION

FOR PLUNGE BASE

This dust extraction hood is designed for use the plunge base (PR011) when routing is done in the middle of the workpiece, such as when creating slots or routing patterns for inlays. If you have a shop vacuum system, you can attach the dust extraction hood for improved visibility, accuracy and utility, particularly in freehand routing.

To attach, position as shown and secure adapter to base with the thumbscrews provided (Fig. 41).

The dust extraction hood can also be installed with the hose outlet facing the front of the tool.
