The depth of the router bit depends on your project, but a good rule is to start with shallow passes—typically 1/8 inch (3 mm) deep or less—especially in hardwood. You can gradually increase the depth with each pass to avoid overloading the router and ensure a clean cut. Always refer to your router and bit manufacturer’s guidelines for maximum depth recommendations.
