Zusammenfassung:A router includes a motor housing containing a motor and coupled to a tool holder configured to receive a tool bit that is driven rotationally by the motor. A base receives the motor housing for movement in an axial direction along a longitudinal axis of the motor housing. A depth adjustment mechanism enables adjustment of a position of the motor housing relative to the base along the axial direction. The depth adjustment mechanism has a threaded shaft rotationally coupled to one of the motor housing and the base and a thread engaging member coupled to the other of the motor housing and the base. The threaded shaft is engageable with the thread engaging member. A seam defined in the base adjacent to the depth adjustment mechanism. A clamp arm clamps across the seam between an open position and a closed position, whereby when the clamp arm is in the open position, the threaded shaft may be rotated to move the motor housing in an axial direction relative to the base, and when the clamp arm is in the closed position, movement of the motor housing relative to the base in an axial direction is prevented.
