Maslow stops while cutting out the sled

[bar]

That’s great news!

I always set my depth of cut to be about .05 inches more than the thickness of the wood to make sure it goes all the way through.

Having something provide pressure to keep the router down helps too

Z-Axis Bungee To Ensure Correct Depth

I was noticing that the router was not always plunging to the depth it should when the Z-Axis moved. When I would push on the top of the router it would drop to the correct level, and getting that bolt on the plunge lock at the exact tightness was a pain. I added some small bungees around the handles, and over the top of the router and the tension pushing towards the work surface is enough to ensure the router plunges at the given depth.
