Using the correct spindle R.P.M. is critical to
achieving the smoothest, safest cuts from your
router. The general rule is the larger the diameter
router bit, the lower the spindle R.P.M. should be.
The Model H2854 is equipped with a speed
adjustment dial as shown in Figure 8. Setting “1”
is the slowest R.P.M. at 11,000. “6” is the highest
R.P.M. setting at 26,000.
The Model H2854 is capable of a wide variety of
routing operations. The key to successful use of
the Model H2854 is understanding how to proper-
ly adjust the tool for maximum performance.
The Model H2854 has a maximum spindle plunge
depth of 1
1
⁄2
". To set the depth stop:
1. Install the desired router bit into the collet.
2. Without turning the router on, plunge the bit
so that it extends below the base plate the
same amount as the final depth of cut you
desire to make.
3. While holding the desired depth, press the
plunge lock lever located on the right back
corner of the upper router base as shown in
Figure 9. This will lock the router in the pre-
sent position. Recheck to make sure the bit
is still extending below the base plate the
desired amount.
4. Loosen the depth scale lock knob on the
front of the upper router base. Let the depth
gauge drop down to the shortest peg on the
round depth stop turret.
