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.
