Ooh, drill bits. Another great work-around tip. Thanks!
So the fancy measuring scale on the router isn't actually used for adjusting cut depth?
I have no problem with noob thinking (after all, it ain't common sense if you've never seen or heard about it before), but at least tell me I'm not crazy for thinking the measuring scale that appears directly related to cut depth might have been actually directly related to cut depth!
A great picture of the measuring scale that has confused me isn't found on the internet, but I include a photo below; note on the right side of the router the long silver screw that can either slowly be screwed up and down or push the black button in the housing and the screw can be adjusted up or down quickly. The top of the screw is capped with a piece of plastic that has a line across it to reference a scale in mm or 1/64". On the base is a multi-level stop screw setup.
