What happens here

The video highlights a small screw located on the turret-style depth stop. This screw provides a micro-adjustment capability. By turning this screw, you can make very fine, precise adjustments to the plunge depth, either slightly raising or lowering the final stopping point. This feature is particularly useful for achieving extremely accurate custom depths that may fall between the standard increments of the turret or for making minor corrections to an existing depth setting.
