Dual ball bearings rated to 10,000 rpm and a solid stop give repeatable depth in tight spaces. It accepts 1/4-28 threaded cutters up to 5/8 in (15 mm) diameter on a 1/4 in shaft, with 1/8 in (3.175 mm) of shaft travel and 0.001 in (0.025 mm) incremental adjustment. Skirts are available in straight, slotted, cutaway, 2-leg, 3-leg and internal thread styles with a nylon foot, on round, threaded shank or quick change shafts, with 1/4-28 or M6x1 cutter threads.
