Router Lift. Strong fast and easy to build

Building a better router lift!
This lift will work with any router that has a 3.5 inch body but I use this one and I love it: amzn.to/49QfwWo
This video is a continuation of • Router Lift 2.0 , which talks a lot about the reasoning behind the design.

[@Spodokamono]

Very clever, i like this a lot. Super well made. I like the idea of automation as well. Looking forward to the next video. 👍👏👍👏

[@kenwhibley2493]

This is definitely one for the to do list!! Easy to scale to a Makita 700 series.

[@Amendoin1964]

Very good. Congratulation.

[@stevedockery3534]

Very nice lift my friend. Looks like it will glide up and down easily. Wish there were plans. I really want to make one for myself. At this time I have to manually raise and lower my small router. Awesome job and very well thought out.

[@akardasis]

Thanks a lot. I'm still working through some stuff like mounting, dust collection and insert plate. Maybe I'll put some plans together when it's all done.

[@akardasis]

@Scott Crawford yeah that tends to be more or less what I do. I really do want to make plans for this one but I think I have to make some tweaks to the runners and tracks first

[@nicholasreville8003]

I'm convinced

[@enry7860]

Complimenti Ari, molto bello e sembra un sistema più semplice di altri da costruire

[@akardasis]

Grazie mille! Ho lavorato per renderlo semplice

[@jeremysteel3301]

That looks amazing! I hope there will be plans available at some point :)

[@akardasis]

I hope to get that out someday but I'm not sure when. Thanks for asking though!!

[@dmmflys]

I'd love set plans

[@stevesiefken6432]

Ok, believe it or not, I just finished making (today) the first lift you posted several years ago😂.

[@akardasis]

What! That's awesome. It's never too early to upgrade ;)

[@stevesiefken6432]

@@akardasis You never know, but for now at least it works great and is very stable. I’m pretty happy with it. Good luck and all the best this holiday season.

[@akardasis]

@@stevesiefken6432 happy to hear!

[@BostLabs]

Well yes I subscribed, but you had me at your dog noping out from the metal sparks. :)

[@akardasis]

Ha. He’s a wimp but he’s LOUD!!

[@YTubeSDD]

Looks great. I will build or buy router table/lift next year. I don't understand why the retail router lifts all cost $300-$600.

[@akardasis]

yeah, baffling.

[@johnbauer3801]

how did you handle dust control?

[@frosted1030]

Nice, however if you have a table saw and a bandsaw and all the rest, you would probably spend a bit on a good router lift. You have the space and money.

[@Paul-mx2yj]

Nice job. What locks the router in position after you raise or lower it ?

[@akardasis]

good question. Right now, nothing. And it'll slip down. But stay tuned for the next video......

[@robertdalga128]

Maybe just cut a slot in the side of the cabinet for a threaded rod and lock nut?

[@ovvoraemqezinch11]

Forgive me if I've missed it, but apart from the plastic slides it appears your design is the same as before, perhaps you could explain what was it that you didn't like in your original design and they were points you aimed to eliminate. otherwise pretty good and simple. I like simplicity!!

[@akardasis]

Hey! I actually made a whole video talking about what was wrong with the old one and what I changed: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWPQkJWfn62Zpas. Hope that clarifies a little

[@sam78882]

Can’t find a plate to fit my DEWALT router 4” diameter model DCW600B with its plunge base DMP612 any help I can get from you will be appreciated I’ve been all over and no one knows ! Thx

[@frankhouck4446]

Do you have ideas for a locking mechanism? Does the position move with vibration?

[@akardasis]

I never really solved this. In the past I've used threaded rod and a T-nut and the friction was enough, but the lead screw on this was too loose.

[@josephblack9870]

Can you make a router lift out of oak

[@AverysMan1105]

Never seen one before, where does it go on tablesaw? Is it a permanent place for it and what exactly is the purpose of it?..... I have more questions but lets start with those.

[@bsw6583]

But to make a lifter you need among others: 1. miter saw 2. band saw 3. multi-function sander Does anybody can show me how to do that without expensive tools? 🤣😂

[@akardasis]

I think you could find ways to make it all with just a table saw. You would have to get creative though.
