whats the shallowest depth you can get with this

Asked by: kyle
Hello Kyle Thank you for your contact. We apologize for any trouble or inconvenience in finding information. For best results, adjust the guide using the knob to allow the bit to protrude about 1/8&quot; (3 mm) past the material to be cut. Best Regards Sherri C DEWALT
