The service life of the device depends on the degree of their wear. If they are not replaced in time, then in the end a major overhaul of the instrument or its replacement will be necessary.
3. Depth stop. With the help of this part, you can select and clean up a quarter of any parameters. The formation of such grooves will help the carpenter to craft blanks, which can then be assembled into one structure.
