Plunge Components
Depth Stop Turret
The depth stop turret has four positions, each with a different height, or offset from the base position. The desired final routing depth is set for the base position, and the four offset positions
allow for incremental depths to reach the final depth. The 2mm offset position is used to provide for a final cleanup pass. The
first adjustable offset allows for a 6 to 18 mm range and the upper adjustable offset allows for a 18 to 51 mm range.
Turret Latching Lever
The turret latching lever locks the depth stop post to the center pin of the turret when the
turret is in the Base Position. This permits the router height to be controlled by the Fine Adjustment Dial (see below) and the router to remain in the plunged position without the plunge
lock engaged.
Plunge Depth Gauge
The plunge depth gauge shows the position of the depth stop post. When the index pointer is reset to zero at a depth position, the gauge will show the change in depth as the depth stop post is raised.
One example of this is to use the surface of a workpiece as the zero point, and then use the gauge to set the depth of the cut below the surface. This is described on page 10.
Plunge Lock Knob
The plunge lock knob locks the router in a plunged position. To lock the plunge, rotate the knob counterclockwise. To unlock the plunge, turn the knob clockwise.
Note that the plunge lock needs to be released while using the Turret Latching Lever and Fine Adjustment Dial.
Fine Adjustment Dial
The fine adjustment dial raises and lowers the depth stop post for making very precise depth setting changes. Each click of the dial represents a 0.1 mm change, and a full rotation is equal to 1.0 mm.
The index ring can be rotated separately to zero out the index numbers at a starting point to make it easier to determine changes in height.
Depth Stop Locking Lever and Post
The depth stop locking lever clamps down on the depth stop post to keep it from moving. The locking lever is located on the fine adjustment cylinder, so that fine adjustments can still be made when the post is clamped. To engage the lock, turn the handle clockwise, and to release the lock, turn the handle counterclockwise.
