Adjustable pocket-cutting device

An adjustable pocket-cutting device for routing a pocket in a workpiece, the adjustable pocket-cutting device comprising:

• a worktop for supporting the workpiece;
• an actuation lever assembly including an actuation lever that pivots with respect to the worktop about an actuation lever pivot, the actuation lever configured to support a router having a router bit such that the router bit sweeps through a slot in the worktop and into a workpiece clamped against the worktop as the actuation lever pivots from a retracted position to a deployed position;
• and
• a stop assembly for adjustably limiting pivotal movement of the actuation lever to the deployed position thereby limiting the sweep of the router bit into the work clamped to the worktop, the stop assembly including a stop lever adjustably mounted relative to the worktop, a stop member extending from the stop lever across or through the actuation lever, wherein the stop member abuts against an abutment surface of the actuation lever to adjustably limit the movement of the actuation lever to the deployed position.
