Pro-Tip

Pro-Tip: When making deep mortises or grooves with the plunge base, utilize the 3-stage turret depth stop. Instead of trying to cut the full 1-3/8 inch depth in a single pass, step down your cuts gradually. This prevents bit burning, reduces tear-out, and prolongs the life of both your router bits and the router's motor.
