Can't Get PC 690 Cut Depth Adjustment Ring to Work

I have been using a PC 690 router for a couple of years. I use it with the fixed base on a small Rockler table. I've never figured out how to make the fine adjustment ring work. See picture http://img348.imageshack.us/img348/3...entring8pj.jpg I always have to adjust by rotating the router body in the base. This is a very course adjustment making it difficult to get the cut depth set right. When I try to use the fine adjustment ring it doesn't seem to do anything at all -- it just turns and turns but the blade does not rise or lower. What I am doing wrong? Jim, The only thing you are doing wrong is confusing the purpose of the ring. That is not a fine adjustment ring, it is simply a place-marker. You turn it so that the zero mark lines up with one of the reference marks on the body of the motor. Then you twist the motor so the reference mark moves to the desired mark on the ring. The ring is just a friction fit and is not threaded at all. There is no fine adjustment other than a very slight twist of the motor in the base.
