Don't forget that the router depth being "reusable" is dependent on the
stock being the same thickness as well (e.g. if you thicknessed it to
.780 when you set it up the first time, going to .750 will result in a
different setup requirement).

I guess that's why most people go to .750 all the time, but sometimes
I'm too lazy and can't be bothered to run it through my planer any more
(once it's flat and close enough). I just make sure that all the stock
is the same thickness and then do the router setup. Probably a pain,
but I suppose I save on the life of my equipment that way???


Huh? Maybe the Incra is different but for the typical DT jig for blind DT's
The stock thickness matters NOT as long as it is thick enough to accept the
cut. Thicker pieces of wood do not matter. The particular DT router bit is
always used at the same depth regardless of material thickness.. I often
mix 3/4" drawer fronts with 1/2" thick sides and NEVER change the bit depth
setting.
