If you are just making a round hole, go as deep as you want.
If you are making a mortise type cut that means you have to move the wood over
the bit, you can make the end cuts as deep as they need to end up. Then come
back and cut no more than an eighth, of an inch, 5 millimeters over there.

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Cutting depth per cut
Hi all,
well have just purchased my first router and router table so will have
many questions.
For a start.
If I wish to make a plunge cut, with say a 12 mm diameter bit. what is
the maximum depth I should go for a first pass?
I am not sure if this is explaining myself correctly, so I will wait for
the responses and modify the question if necessary.
Thanks as always for the great help.
Max.
