TURRET
3.Connect the depth rod to the depth stop turret by rotating the depth stop turret so that the large end of keyhole slot is aligned with the lower end of the depth rod. Release coarse adjust lock, and lower depth rod into the large end of keyhole slot. Rotate depth stop turret until the smaller end of the keyhole traps the end of depth rod (Fig. 24). (To keep the rod in the keyhole, there is a raised rim around the underside of the smaller end of the keyhole. When inverted, the weight of the router keeps the depth rod inside the raised rim.) Note: When the router motor is at its further point away from the base, the motor must be moved slightly closer to the base so the depth rod can clear the raised rim.
