Hi Guys,
I have bought my first ever plunge router . (Bought the Bosch 1617evspk kit as my anniversary gift ). Still learning how to set it up & use.
As I have learned I insert router bit all the way in the collet and then pull it back about 1/4" to avoid it from bottoming out. When the router is in fully plunged position I am only getting 11/32" of usable bit exposure.
The router motor is fully inserted into the plunge housing.
(UPDATE: Yes the depth rod is free to move and the turret is set to allow the lowest plunge possible).
Is the router plunge base defective (unlikely)? Am I inserting the router bit too much into the collet? Or is this all normal?
Thought I will get advice from the pros here.
Thanks in advance,
Nicer
