travel, depress the lever.

Multi-Position Turret Stop
The turret stop limits the downward distance that the tool can be plunged. It
consists of three screws of different lengths that serve to define the depth of
cut by limiting the travel of the depth stop bar (see Figure 5). Routing depth
can be set by selecting the screw of the appropriate length on the turret. The
turret is rotatable with detent stops to properly align the screws.
TURRET STOP
It is the interaction of the depth stop bar and the turret stop that determine
the routing depth.
