Hi,
Newbie with a routing question that I'm sure has an obvious answer I am simply not seeing.
Say I have a piece of stock and I route to depth A. Later, after having changed the depth on my bit on the router to route something else I come back to that piece of stock and want to route a different part of the stock to depth A. I need the two parts of the stock to both be at exactly the same depth (A).
My thinking was to set the router on top of the 'original A' and adjust the depth until, as best as I could tell, the router was sitting flat on the workpiece. The result, however, as you can hopefully see from this pic is that it took out a little too much material as you can see from the differences in the two depths.
In the future, how do I make sure that the two depths line up exactly?
If it matters, I am using a Dewalt 618 with the d handle attachment since I find it easier to control.
Thank you in advance.
Nathan
