Stopper block
005083
The stopper block has three adjusting hex bolts which raise or lower 0.8 mm
per turn. You can easily obtain three different depths of cut using these adjust-
ing hex bolts without readjusting the stopper pole.
Adjust the lowest hex bolt to obtain the deepest depth of cut, following the
method of "Adjusting depth of cut". Adjust the two remaining hex bolts to
obtain shallower depths of cut. The differences in height of these hex bolts are
equal to the differences in depths of cut.
To adjust the hex bolts, first loosen the hex nuts on the hex bolts with the
wrench and then turn the hex bolts. After obtaining the desired position,
tighten the hex nuts while holding the hex bolts in that desired position. The
stopper block is also convenient for making three passes with progressively
deeper bit settings when cutting deep grooves.
CAUTION:
When using a bit having total length of 60 mm or more, or edge length of 35
mm or more, the depth of cut cannot be adjusted as previously mentioned. To
adjust, proceed as follows:
Loosen the lock lever and carefully adjust bit protrusion below the tool base to
the desired depth of cut by moving the tool body up or down. Then retighten
the lock lever to lock the tool body at that depth of cut. Keep the tool body
locked at this position during use. Since the bit always protrudes from the tool
base, be careful when handling the tool.
Adjusting the lock lever

The locked position of the lock lever is adjustable. To adjust it, loosen the lock
lever 3/4 turn and press the center of the lock lever. The hex nut will come out.
Set the hex nut to the desired position and tighten the lock lever.
