Greetings,
I am currently trimming the edges on a jewelry box and quickly realized that the Porter-Cable trim router I own is very difficult to accurately set the bit depth. Without going into a lot of detail I am hoping that someone knows of a light weight trim router whose bit depth can be adjusted precisely.
Perhaps these small routers are not meant to be set precisely. There are a lot of trim routers on the market, so hopefully someone can shed some light on this.
Here is my P-C trim router.
This router's bit depth is adjusted by rotating the black ring and then locked in place with the black knob on the left side. When the knob is relaxed to make a depth change the router body springs up very slightly and that is sufficient to ruin the previous depth setting. While this is a good router not being able to adjust the depth precisely is frustrating.
Any and all suggestions are most welcome.
Thank you!
