Save $100s by Building Your Own Router Lift!

[@marchersr.9169]

I couldn't find a reasonably priced lift that would work with my table saws router wing extension. I found this video and just finished building this lift and it works great! I made two small changes though. One for performance and one for convenience. For convenience, instead of filing the threaded rod into a hex head, I simply drilled and tapped a 1/4-20 hole in center of the threaded rod end that's at table top and then, counter sunk a 1/4-20 hex head cap screw (bonded with red lock-tite) flush with the threaded rod. This allows me to use a simple 3/16 hex wrench to make adjustments, instead of having to keep a socket and ratchet handy. For performance, I didn't like the idea of the drive screw being supported only by the fixed base and only the nut in the moving router clamp so, I got a second 3/4" I.D., 7/8" O.D. bronze bushing, drilled out my Insert plate for a press-in fit of that bushing to support the top of the threaded rod. Now, the rod's rock solid and turns true with no wobble.

@@WoodsmithShowandmagazine That's exactly what I meant and I like your plans. The proportions are always just right. That way when the project is complete I don't regret making it taller or wider etc. Plans avoid the second guessing.

[@SchwettyBawls]

I started making something similar and found this while looking for ideas on the rails. Fantastic job guys. I'm also an avid 3D printer and electronics guy. I plan to add a stepper motor to the bottom of the rod and old control board from a decommissioned 3d printer. That way I can use push buttons to automatically raise and lower the router.

[@eideticgoone7035]

A good way to mount the threaded rod in a vice and also make it easy to rotate the rod by 60 degrees for each facet is to thread two sets of jam nuts onto the rod, adjusted so all facets of the nuts are parallel to each other. The nut closest to the end also acts as a stop for filing all the facets to a consistent length. A couple of jam nuts as the socket head or a nut welded on the rod end would also work, but be larger.

[@frankherring6253]

This a nice and simple lift. I will add another set screw hole in on side of mine at a point where the router clamp is adjusted to most of the time, and will install a threaded rod out the side of my cabinet. That screw can be tightened to hold the router in position without disturbing the adjustment screws.Thanks for the great information

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

Sounds like an interesting upgrade... let us know how it works out.

[@mtbikerdan]

Thank you for another great build video! Without locking the screw down after the height is adjusted, I would be concerned about the bit moving while routing. How well did the lift work when in use? Did you have any issues with it moving up or down while running the router? Thanks in advance.

[@jonathanbuzzard1376]

Been looking for inspiration for making a router lift, and this has been helpful. However, after watching (inspiration from watching this video) I now can't help thinking that in 2022 you can utilize the 3D printer revolution to make this a lot better and simpler to make. Take a couple of lengths of 2020 aluminium profile with a couple of gantry wheels and it would be *way* quicker, more accurate and possibly cheaper than making your own rails out of wood. Just priced it up on eBay two 300mm/1ft lengths of 2020 profile and two sets of four-wheel 2020 gantries come to 25USD shipped. You would also need an M6 tap to thread the centre hole of the 2020 profile and some M6 bolts. However again not expensive and you are saving a lot of time.

[@Warpfield]

I am making this right now over the Christmas holiday to work with a table saw extension router table. I couldn't find a 3/4" - 16 threaded rod locally so, am going to use a 3/4" - 10 rod, should be okay. Just won't have the same fine adjustment the 16 tpi provides. Also, I didn't want to spend the $35+ for a plastic router plate so, will be making my plate out of the same 3/4" baltic birch plywood that I am using for the table top.

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

Those design modifications should work just fine. Good luck and let us know how it all works out for you.

[@Warpfield]

@@WoodsmithShowandmagazine I just completed this project yesterday. The 3/4" - 10 rod works just fine. The table extension is 3/4" Baltic Birch plywood. I cut out the 9" x 12" insert hole on my CNC and made an insert to fit out of the same material. Mounting the lift onto the insert was a bit of a challenge but, I got it done.

[@normansidey5258]

Just a quick observation, not a criticism, winding a nut of the correct thread form onto the rod to the cut position will ensure that you can dress the cut then screw off the nut without any damage to the rod threads, and also prevent the risk of cross threading when using the rod.

[@carterscustomrods]

I only have 1 functioning arm, so a table saw is a no-go for me. Could I use a small rotary tool router in place of the dado blades? I have a giant router, but I cannot control it with one arm. Thus the need for a table/lift.

I just finished mine. I ground my threaded rod to 3/8" square, and I'm going to epoxy a 1/4 inch socket to the end. That way I can use a 1/4" hex key or my screw gun to adjust. Also makes for a smaller hole in the router plate.

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

[@douglasruhs2344]

Sorry if I missed this somewhere..... Instead of the Hard Maple, could you use cabinet grade plywood and reduce the chance wood changing with temp and humidity?

[@evatuckjr9091]

I'm used to larger, corded routers kzbin.infoUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.

[@sunnyloo8968]

question: for the clamp block, is it better to make it out of laminated plywood (as per the instructions) or out of a solid block of wood (I have a block of 2" thick red cedar from another project that I can use). Also, I have limited access to hardwood and what is available at my local is quite expensive. I am thinking of using 2"x4" pine stud lumber. Can I get away with using this softer wood? I am a novice and so would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

[@mattneff1262]

2 questions... I have a Benchdog cast iron router table that attaches to my table saw... will this work with that table? My router is the 3hp Porter cable... will that fit in this lift?

[@DB-dj6zk]

Why is the plate off center to the lift?

[@robertbamford8266]

Clever! I’m picturing a removable, height adjustable block that could be inserted to keep the mechanism from slipping down during operation. What keeps the bottom nuts (surrounding the bushing) from slipping over time as the router assembly is raised and lowered - and would it matter?

[@anthonycox1635]

The bottom nuts are fiber washered lock nuts. They lock against the threads and the bush that was inserted. They will not move.

[@ronniefields4166]

I bought the plans and am at a stopping point. On page 5 of the plans, the drawing of the main block and the clamping block are not complete. Cutting out the inside of the blocks, not all the measurements are there. I see some left to right measurements on the inside of the blocks but there are no top to bottom measurements. I see 1 1/4 from bottom to top of left angle, but what is the cut from that angle to the top? Also on the clamping block. I see 1/2" from left to top of right angle but what is the measurement from there to the next angle.

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

I've added the premium drawings to your plan which you can access by logging into WoodsmithPlans.com and going to the plan page: www.woodsmithplans.com/plan/router-jig-router-lift/ There should be a "shop drawings" link right above the "Download" button.

Ok, I must be an idiot. Please no cruel remarks but I have a question about the Woodsmith homemade router lift. I purchased the plans for this and have it all built but have run into a snag with the all thread and the lock nuts that go on the bottom. If you look at the plans it depicts that you thread the locknut that goes on the top of the bottom plate from the top of the all thread. This is turning out to be impossible for me to do. The lock nut seizes up on me. I can't get it to go past the nylon insert. Alternatively, I try to thread it from the bottom of the all thread and, of course it won't go on because it shows to have it with the nylon end up, which means I have to thread it using the nylon end first. I have tried to thread the lock nut from the top of the all thread but this has caused the threads to be damaged and the lock nut just will not go past the nylon insert without damaging the threads on the all thread. Now the all thread won't thread on to my coupling nut due to the threads being damaged on the all thread. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure I have either misunderstood the plans or something.

The plans for this lift are not as detailed as I'd wished. As a fairly experienced DIY'er, I had a huge challenge with getting the holes to align (16:00 in the video) - so much so that I ended up having to start over with a fresh base and remake the router carriage because the rod was misaligned and bound when I tried to raise and lower the carriage. One other issue that I've now encountered is the router type must be one that utilizes the wrenches to install/remove the bits. A router which uses a push button to lock the shaft so the collet can be loosened won't work because the router can't be raised high enough to access the button in order to change the bit. Finally, I had to laugh out loud when they said "This is probably something you could throw together in an afternoon"! I'm in the middle of my fourth weekend and still haven't gotten the insert plate mounted on the vertical supports. I'm saving hundreds of dollars by not buying one, but I'm just paying that money to my therapist to help me deal with the anxiety that's coming from this build! It's definitely doable, but just be aware that the devil is in the details with this one!
