Router Depth in Billet Mount
Posted: Sun Mar 03, 2019 4:05 pm
I just installed the Dixie Billet Router Mount in my Shark Pro Plus HD. I also have the NWA dust boot with brush also attached.
Does anyone have an opinion on the maximum depth I should put the router in the mount in relation to the table. I have a 3/4" MDF Spoil Board over my usable area. Should I allow the router to kiss the spoil board without a bit in the collet or adjust it higher (Z Axis bottomed out). I realize that if I set the router too high I would not be able to cut through the material to the spoil board if through cuts are required.
Let me know what you think. The original mount and router (Bosch 1617EVS) was bottomed out in the mount.
