Depth Adjustment - Craftsman 171.917508 Owner's Manual

Craftsman reuters are designed for speed,
accuracy and convenience in performing
cabinet work, routing, fluting, beading,
cove-cutting, dovetails, etc. They will
enable you to accomplish inlay work,
decorative edges and many types of
special carving.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Fine Adjustment Knob
The pop up fine depth adjustment knob
allows precise bit height adjustments on
your router.
To use the fine adjustment feature, release
the base clamp lever, pull up the fine
adjustment knob and turn the knob
clockwise to lower, or counterclockwise
to raise the bit (Figures 4 and 5).
Note that one full turn of the knob will raise
or lower the bit approximately 1/16" of an
inch. After making depth adjustments,
re-clamp the motor.
NOTE: All depth adjustments must be
made with the base clamp lever released.
DEEP CUTS
For deeper cuts, make several
progressively deeper cuts by starting
at one depth and then make several
subsequent passes, increasing the cutting
depth with each pass.
To be certain that your depth settings
are as desired, you may want to make
test cuts in scrap material before
beginning work.
