What To Look For In Router Lifts WWW17 WOOD magazine

[@SavageVoyageur]

Thanks for the video, helpful. I just bought the new Rockler Pro lift. They have addressed a lot of common problems you talked about.

[@gutierrezc8709]

that router tilt feature is a great idea. I think I'm going to incorporate that feature in my table design.

[@EagleLakeWoodworking]

You left out the only router lift that functionally changes the operations you can perform on the router table. The MLCS PowerLift Pro takes the concept of the plunge router and inverts it for use in the router table. The foot pedal allows you to bring the spinning bit up into the work piece. Making it possible to do mortising, circle cutting, stopped dadoes, incremental passes, etc. Combine all that with .001" precision movements, memory positions, and other computer controlled features and its easy to see why it's unmatched by any mechanical lift. So would you please consider the MLCS Powerlift Pro. It's a game changer

[@dougprentice1363]

Wow that sounds fantastic. I never liked pushing wood down on router. It would be great to move the spinning bit up into the wood.

Electric wall plate cover screws fit the Rockler plates very well. I drilled a bore hole in fence and epoxied rare earth magnet it to hold screw to store when changing plate sizes.

Missing in the evaluation is the MLCS Powerlift Pro. I guess it's kind of like comparing apples and oranges since it does so much more than the mechanical lifts, but it would have been nice to have mention of the revolutionary direction the PowerLift Pro is taking router lifts to.

[@antigen4]

the MLCS looks like the bomb actually - i just bought the jessem though - but the MLCS looks nice becuase you don't have to screw around with looking for the crank handle you misplaced since it's always RIGHT THERE at the side of your saw

Good video. Are there any current router fences or router lifts that currently available that are digital? Thanks for your time. Ron

[@adgieem1]

Great video. I learned a lot. One suggestion. Please repeat out loud the questions you are asked by your audience . Their questions cannot be heard on video. I am trying to guess what was asked.

[@elephantfeet280]

I have a Rockwell router which I bought 8 to 9 years ago the collet is 1/2 inches it's also a plunge router. Question is these router lifts does the plunge router have to be fully plunged or does the whole plunge assembly have to be removed to fit the router?

[@Wood]

In most cases, a dedicated plunge router is plunged to full depth before installing.

[@daverocks295]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@manny3549]

That guy in the back...won't stop interrupting! LOL

[@abayit]

Thank you! How about the incra router lift vs the jessem?

[@paulweston8184]

the Jessem

[@garymac121]

In making a router table top for these, especially the smaller router lifts (3.5”), most tables use 1.5” thick tops. Are there any concerns for using 3/4” table top surface?

[@yvanesquivel7468]

I have the router lift Bosch GOF 1600 ce pro, whose body is not fully cylindrical, my question is: ¿Can I use the Incra Router Lift with tne Incra Router Lift?? Thank you.

[@YouTuber-mc2el]

What options are out there for a dedicated plunge router like the RE-600 from Ryobi?

[@BrockTorunski]

JessEm has a lift called Rout-R-Lift Prestige and it's made specifically for mounting fixed plunge routers

[@lorencoen3484]

Can’t had questions. Suggest repeat them for videos.

[@StreetKingz4Life]

I have a stanley plunge router will it fit??

[@Z-add]

Does the dewalt router have same issues as the makita router in that that whole body rotates?

[@paulweston8184]

No, because the whole body does not rotate. The Dewalt motor fits in a groove on the base which keeps it aligned as the threaded ring on the base spins freely as the motor slides up and down with the threads on the ring. This only matters for the tilted table which isn't a lift at all.

[@Linrox]

While i like some of these router lifts, i will be designing and manufacturing my own, with a coarse and fine lift as well as twist lock rings and a couple of other features.

[@pacojerte_ati]

Linrox let's see a video

[@nathanmccook133]

Curious how the new updated rockler pro lift stacks up in this line up

[@Tooljunke01]

I'm wondering the same thing. Before I commit to buying a Rockler lift.

[@Devn.ly7]

Would it kill them to put a room mic for the audience?

[@fubartotale3389]

WD40 is not a lubricant, the WD stands for water displacing. It will dry to a varnish like consistancy over time. Ask me how I know.
