DEPTH ROD AND TURRET
The depth rod and the depth stop turret are
used to control cutting depth as follows;
1. With the bit installed, gently lower the motor
until the tip of the router bit just contacts the
level surface the router is sitting on. This is
the "zero" position, from which further depth
adjustments can be accurately made.
2. Rotate depth stop turret until the lowest step
is aligned with the depth rod. Loosen depth
indicator knob and lower the depth rod until
it contacts the lowest step of the turret. Slide
the depth indicator until the red line indicates
zero on the depth scale, indicating the point
at which the bit just contacts the work
(Fig. 40).
3. Slide the depth rod up until the red depth
indicator line attains the desired cutting
depth, and secure the rod in position by
firmly tightening the depth indicator knob.
4. The desired depth of cut may now be
achieved by plunging the router until the
depth rod contacts the lowest stop on the
turret.
ALTERNATE SET-UP FOR
DEPTH ROD AND TURRET
1. An alternative to place a jig of the desired
routing depth (such as a hinge which needs
to be mortised) on the bottom step of the
turret.
2. Next, lower the depth rod until it contacts
the jig.
3. Secure the rod in position by firmly
tightening the depth indicator knob.
4. Finally, remove the jig.
DEEP CUTS
For deeper cuts, make several progressively
deeper cuts by starting with the highest step on
the depth turret, and after each cut, rotate the
depth turret to progressively lower steps as
desired, until the final depth (lowest step or flat)
is reached. Steps progress by 1/8" increments.
To be certain that your depth settings are as
desired, you may want to make test cuts in
scrap material before beginning work.
FINE ADJUSTMENT
The PR011 plunge base is equipped with a
fine adjustment system that allows you to
micro adjust the plunge depth of the router bit
for superior routing accuracy.
Each complete revolution of the fine
adjustment knob adjusts the plunging depth by
1/32", and each of the four indicator marks on
the knob represents 1/128".

DEPTH STOP
TURRET
To use the fine adjustment knob, once the
depth rod and turret have been set, check the
final depth setting and fine-adjust as follows:
To micro-increase the plunge depth, raise the
fine adjustment stop by turning it counter-
clockwise by the desired amount.
To micro-reduce the plunge depth, lower the
fine adjustment stop by turning it clockwise by
the desired amount.
Notes:
• When micro-adjusting the plunge depth, it is
more convenient to move the fine
adjustment stop up than down. Before
setting the depth rod and turret, make sure
the fine adjustment stop has been turned
several revolutions down from its top
position so that it can be adjusted upward.
• The fine adjustment stop cannot be used to
reduce the plunge depth when the depth rod
is already touching the depth stop turret.
The router must be raised before such an
adjustment can be made.
THE PR012 ROUTER DUST COLLECTION
FOR PLUNGE BASE
This dust extraction hood is designed for use
the plunge base (PR011) when routing is done
in the middle of the workpiece, such as when
creating slots or routing patterns for inlays. If
you have a shop vacuum system, you can
attach the dust extraction hood for improved
visibility, accuracy and utility, particularly in
freehand routing.
To attach, position as shown and secure
adapter to base with the thumbscrews
provided (Fig. 41).
The dust extraction hood can also be installed
with the hose outlet facing the front of the tool.
