For convenience, the thumb
wheel is equipped with a quick
release button that allows you to
disengage the threads for fast
positioning by simply depressing the
button in the side of the wheel.
NOTE:
It is easier to move the
height stop thumb wheel UP if the
plunge release lever is locked and
easier to move the thumb wheel
DOWN if the unit is first moved
down by releasing the plunge
release lever and then tightening it.
MULTI-POSITION TURRET STOP
The turret stop limits the down¬
ward 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.
It is the interaction of the depth
stop bar and the turret stop that de¬
termine the routing depth.
If none of the provided screws
seems close to the desired height
each can be adjusted by loosening
the hex nut at the bottom and then
turning the screw either in or out to
make it the proper length. After
adjusting this screw be sure to
tighten the hex nut at the bottom.
(See Figure 6)
See the section "Setting the
Routing Depth" for instructions on
how to use the turret stop in an
actual operation.
DEPTH STOP BAR AND VERNIER
The depth stop bar is what
contacts the selected screw in the
turret stop to limit the routing depth.
At the bottom of the depth stop bar
is a threaded shaft, a spring and a
knurled knob, as shown in Figure 7.
