Plunge routers move up and down on the base, which has spring-loaded arms on either side that allow the user to manually "plunge" the cutting bit down into the material from above... This is necessary when... working on the top of a board(as opposed to the edge), for applications such as fluting, dados and mortices, grooves and rebates, insets, etc. However, plunge base routers can be used for edge work just as well(such as profiling edges with a round-over bit). 1, record 1, English, - plunge%20base%20router

Skylights, chimneys, and roof hatches. Rectangular penetrations can be handled with sheet metal flashings in some cases, and with "preformed" curb flashings in others... The base flashing is rigidly connected to the roof panel with washered screws... The upslope side of a rectangular penetration is a bit more difficult. The panel itself must end a sufficient distance from the penetration to allow room for a cricket, of diverter, to direct the flow of water around the penetration. This cricket flashing must be inserted beneath the upslope panel and sealed to it with butyl tape. 3, record 3, English, - cricket%20flashing

The skier makes a series of short turns back and forth across the fall line, thrusting the tails of the skis back and forth to do it.
