Home > Tool Dictionary / Tool Terminology


A depth stop is a part on certain tool(s) which is used when a cut to a specific depth needs to be made.

The depth stop is set parallel to the piece of work at the required distance. When the cutter reaches a depth where the depth stop meets the surface of the piece of work and the cutter stops cutting, this means a cut to the required depth has been made.

Depth stops are used on many different planes such as plough, combination, multi, fillister and router.

A depth stop can come in many forms and are not limited to use on planes.

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information. I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it. Your website told me everything I needed to know.

But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.

I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
