Hi Russ I am using the X axis The Revo does only have the one 1/4" TPI screw, If I want to make a clean box joint cut* I sometimes* pull the router towards me and take a very small cut 1/8 to 1/4" then release the plunge and come over the top of the item and finish off by pushing the router towards the rear. -Stops the splintering ,, I use the same technique on the Woodrat Richard
