The depth of your cut is set by you on the router. !! Is that true? I was asking for something that would cut 1/4" deep, and they didn't seem to have anything that said 1/4 depth on it. All 3/4" and higher... Why the depth dimmension on the package if you can set it yourself? |

That's the *total depth* you can cut with a particular bit. You set your depth first, then cut. |

It's sort of why I wrote it ;) I'm no router expert, but the depth dimension is probably to let you know how deep you can go. In other words a 3/4" bit isn't going to cut a 12" route. But I certainly can have a bit that is 3/4" long route a 1/4" deep area. All you need to know is your router shank size, which is probably 1/4" . |

That was extremely helpful, thank you. |
