Abstract
A hand-held power tool includes a housing, a first shoe movably coupled to the housing, a second shoe fixedly coupled to the housing, a rotating cutting tool disposed between the first shoe and the second shoe, and a depth adjustment mechanism configured to adjust a position of the first shoe relative to the second shoe. The rotating cutting tool is configured to engage a workpiece. The depth adjustment mechanism includes a rotary handle and an inner shaft. The inner shaft is fixedly coupled to the first shoe and threadedly coupled to the rotary handle. The first shoe translates relative to the second shoe in response to rotation of the rotary handle.

A hand-held power tool comprising:
- a housing;
- a first shoe movably coupled to the housing;
- a second shoe separate from the housing and fixedly coupled to the housing;
- a rotating cutting tool disposed between the first shoe and the second shoe, the rotating cutting tool configured to engage a workpiece;
- and
- a depth adjustment mechanism configured to adjust a position of the first shoe relative to the second shoe, the depth adjustment mechanism including
- a rotary handle, and
- an inner shaft, the inner shaft fixedly coupled to the first shoe and threadedly coupled to the rotary handle,
- wherein the first shoe translates relative to the second shoe in response to rotation of the rotary handle, and
