Abstract

A router having a depth of cut adjustment mechanism including an adjustment ring which engages a screw thread on the motor housing and rotationally engages the router base. There is further provided an arrangement for preventing relative rotation between the motor housing and the base. The adjustment ring is formed as a split ring with projections adjacent opposite sides of the split, each with a frusto-conical camming surface. A circular clamp knob having a plurality of tabs extending axially outward from a top surface and radially outward from a central axis is mounted for threaded rotation on a bolt passing through the projections radially with respect to the router motor housing which bears against the camming surfaces so as to squeeze the ring in order to effect a clamping action as the knob is moved inwardly.
