I need to precise route cut into a plastic shell. The plastic is ABS and is about 3/8" thick. I need my route to just barely penetrate the shell, or just barely fall short of penetrating so I can finish off the cut by hand. The key thing is we don't want to cut up the objects that are behind the shell (batteries).
What portable handheld tools would let me dial in the depth of a route to
1/32" precision? The width of the route channel doesn't matter for this application.
