I remove the clamp and use the sleeve moving freely. One hand holds the jig, one hand lets the router body fall through the sleeve a little at a time (for the center fin, routs into pure foam can obviously be done all at once). 31.5mm from the base of the router to the tip of the bit is the perfect depth. Set it like this, and you can just let the router plunge until at max depth and your routs will be perfect and bloody fast. Then you won’t have to pay any attention to the scale on the side of the router.

this is a deceptively handy tool…blades, bits and more.

I’m surprised that Futures didn’t send you the instructions for resetting the bit along with your install kit. I don’t have a digital copy so I can’t send you mine. Try emailing them for a PDF.
