How Can I Make Router Bits Protrude Above My Router Table?

Asked By CreativeNinja42 On

I've recently set up my JET JRT2 Router table with a Bosch GoF 130 router, but I'm facing a problem. Even though I have set the maximum plunge depth, most of my router bits, except the straight ones, aren't long enough to protrude above the table, making it impossible for me to make cuts. I'm looking for advice on how to resolve this issue.

Make sure you haven't accidentally set the depth stop on the router, as that might be preventing it from plunging all the way. You did lock it after plunging, right? If you're still having issues, consider getting a collet extender to increase the reach of your bits!

Yeah, I definitely plunged it to the max and locked it, but the bits still won't come up. Do you know if there are long-shank bits, like OG bits or core box bits, available that might work better?
