I am designing a horizontal slot mortiser, which will actually be a router attachment for my clamping beam (H-beam). Would it be better to have 10 or 16 threads per inch on the threaded rod used for the vertical router adjustment? In either case, there would be an appropriate calibrated dial on the threaded rod. I can see how 16 tpi might be nice, since most router bits diameters are in 1/16ths. But using a digital caliper or dial indicator is a huge plus and that would would work out better with 10 tpi.
