The depth stop is located on the base of your router and makes it possible to make deep or heavy cuts in successive passes by use of the Accu-StopTM MicroAdjustable Depth Stop System. Alignment marks make depth of cut changes quick and easy. A preset cutting depth is achieved by plunging router until stop bar comes in contact with depth stop. The micro-adjusting feature provides alignment marks at each 90° rotation of the depth stop knob. Each 90° rotation of the knob changes depth of cut setting 1/64 in. A complete rotation (360°) of the depth stop knob changes the depth of cut setting 1/16 in. The Accu-StopTM Micro-Adjustable Depth Stop System provides for depth of cut changes to be made from 0 to 1/2 in. (12. 7 mm) from the initial setting of the stop bar. This initial setting of the stop bar can be "zero" depth of cut, or it can be any depth of cut setting that you choose as a starting point for a particular job to be performed.
