*The actual depth-of-cut may be a little deeper or shallower than what appears on this table. Since vendors use different manufacturing tolerances on bit dimensions, use the manufacturer’s advertised bit dimensions only as a guide. Remember that a small amount of variation within tolerances can have a large impact on the final depth- of-cut.
