Festool Plunge Router I 用户手册

The depth stop turret allows you to easily change between 

different depths without changing the depth stop settings.  

► 

The turret posts can be calibrated for repeatable depth 

settings from a basepoint depth, such as making dado cuts. 

► 

One of the most common tasks for the turret is making 

successively deeper cuts to achieve a final depth that 

cannot be completed in a single pass. 

Calibrating the Turret Posts 
The height of the turret posts may be left at the default settings, 

but you may wish to set the heights based on frequently 

performed tasks. Use this procedure if you want to set the 

difference between post heights to be specific to your needs. 

► 

The actual height of each post is not critical; the difference in 

height between posts is critical. 

► 

If all three posts are to be calibrated, begin with the lowest 

two posts, and work upward from there. 

1. 

Unplug the router for safety. 

2. 

To ensure the router depth does not change, tighten the 

plunge lock knob. 

3. 

Set the Basepoint (see the left-hand image): 

a. 

Rotate the turret to the lower of the two posts to be 

adjusted.  This lower post height is not adjusted, but 

serves as the baseline for adjusting the higher post(s). 

b. 

Release the depth stop lever and lower the depth stop 

down to the post. 

c. 

Slide the index pointer down to the zero-position. 

4. 

Calibrate the adjacent post (see right-hand image): 

a. 

Lift the depth stop out of the way and rotate the turret 

to the higher post to be calibrated. 

b. 

Lower the depth stop to the post.  

► 

Do not re-zero the index pointer.  

► 

The index pointer will be showing the difference 

between the two posts heights.  

c. 

Adjust the height of the higher post until the index 

pointer is pointing to the desired difference between 

post heights: 

► 

Do not change the height of the lower post. 

► 

Lift the depth stop out of the way (or rotate the turret) 

to adjust the post height. 

► 

To decrease the difference between posts, turn the 

higher post clockwise. 

► 

To increase the difference between posts, turn the 

higher post counterclockwise. 

5. 

Verify the adjustment by lowering the depth stop 

back down to the higher post and reading the result 

on the depth gauge. 

 

Using the Turret for Successive Depths 
The turret can be very useful when making deep 

plunge cuts because successively deeper cuts can be 

1. 

Unplug the router for safety. 

2. 

Rotate the turret to the lowest post and set the 

depth stop for the final desired depth as described 

3. 

Rotate the turret to the highest post, and operate the router 

as described in the “Basic Routing” section on page 12. This 

will route the workpiece at the shallowest setting. 

4. 

Next, rotate the turret to the middle post, and perform the 

routing operation again. The depth will be slightly deeper 

than the first. 

5. 

Finally, rotate the turret to the lowest post and complete the 

final pass.
