Abstract
A hand held router (2) includes a rotatable member (22) having screwthread engagement with the housing (4) of the router (2). Rotation of the rotatable member (22) causes adjustment of the depth of cut of the router bit (18) protruding through the rotatable member (22). A releasable detent means (30) engages with latching members (28) in the rotatable member (22) thereby to enable locking of the depth of cut mechanism.
