Router Safety Tips:
It's easy to prevent mishaps if you take a few simple precautions.

1) Rockler recommends using 1/2'' shank router bits whenever possible. 1/2'' shanks provide better stability with less vibration to produce a smoother cut and longer cutter life.
2) Make multiple light passes rather than one heavy cut.
3) Install your router bit so that 90% of the shank is inside the collet. Here's a rule of thumb: fully insert the bit, then pull it back 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch.
4) Use a router table whenever possible.
5) When using large diameter bits, reduce the RPM of your router. Then test your set-up on scrap lumber.
6) Always follow your router manufacturer's recommendations.

Great product. It took a few tries to learn how to use it, but now I love it. On the router table, depth adjustment is now a breeze.

This has proven to be a real advantage for me. It is so much easy to set the router depths using this gauge than the old way I did it with a tale measure. I use it often and believe it gives good value for the money.

Serves the intended purpose well. Quick, no guess setup of table mounted and hand held router bits.

Great shop addition to any woodworker's domain. Easy to use and unlike some other gauges, it rests flat on the router table, making it easy to use hands for adjustment. It's well-constructed and amazingly accurate for the price. Regarding another reviewer's comments on the markings "not being protected enough from abrasion". As an experienced cabinetmaker,I find this to be true with all measuring tools. On any measuring tool purchase of mine--plastic or metal, the first thing I do is give it a good coat of paste wax and wipe it down--with periodic treatments. This not only cuts down on normal wear from abrasion, but also helps prevent rust or oxidation on a metal tool.

The stamp or painted measurements were faded, they don't seem to last very long. I'm glad to have a depth gauge.

I purchased this router depth gauge a few weeks ago and found it's extremely accurate for my use. I use it for my router, router table, and table saw. The only problem that I have experienced is that the numbers for the depths are wearing off. I would think a quality gauge would have the increment numbers etched into the aluminum instead of painted or decals. Otherwise, it works great until the increment numbers are gone.

Mine is a quality control failure. Several edges have pronounced sharp burrs and down one side the surfaces of the depth stops were sheared such that metal tore out. This leaves an irregular surface against which to set the bit, so it is not satisfactory. Will return for a replacement and see if this was just an anomaly.

"I live in NJ, and wish there was a physical store near where I live. My experience with rockler.com is second to none. Not only are your products first rate, but customer service/product support is exceptional. I've called several times, and never received someone on the other end of the phone who was anything but extremely helpful, patient, and friendly. The biggest compliment I can give is that I TRUST Rockler for all my woodworking needs. The only other store I can say that about is LL Bean. My wood working friends in western NJ love Rockler. Keep on keepin' on - and get a store here in Jersey!!"
