5.Release the plunge lock lever and rotate the round depth stop turret to the highest of the three pegs. Your first routing pass will remove approximately 13 of the final depth of cut. Rotate the turret to the next highest peg and perform the second routing pass. This pass will remove the next 13 of the material. Finally, turn the turret to the small- est peg (Figure 10) and perform the third routing pass. This will complete the routing operation to the final desired depth of cut.

By performing your routing operations in three successive passes, you will get smoother results with less chance of “chip out” and burning of the workpiece. You will also reduce the possibility of the router jerking out of your hands from trying to remove too much material in one pass.
