Thanks for your support as always 😁

Very nice.

Overall good review. Thx. The issue I still have is with movement. Even locking the adjustment screw doesn’t stop all movement. The router can still lift up with vibration as there is no locking nor pressure holding mechanism of the plate that’s tightened to the router. That whole piece is only held down by the weight of the router. I’ve had it lift on hard wood or just vibration. I saw someone try springs which helped some. I’ve also put Locktite on the grub screws holding the router as they had come loose. Loctite solved that. Overall a good little unit for $30!

I’ve used compression springs on mine, it has helped but there is still a slight drop. You will have to mess around with the length and using the right spring tension.

Movement would be my concern with this lift as you and others pointed out. Not sure I would like messing underneath the table to adjust a nut every time. Wonder if there wouldn’t be a fix to address this from outside the table somehow.

Great info there thank you. Do you have any difficulty chasing bits? I can't quite see how that is done.

It’s not to difficult I just wind the router all the way up and undo with the thin spanners provided with that machine. Thanks for watching 👍

What are the drill bits you used to drill out the holes for the magnets? My drills don't leave a nice flat cut like yours. I get a round sort of scoop so now I have to wonder if I have drills more for drilling metal. Spade bits drill a too large of a "V' channel for this ILMO. Thanks for the video. 👍

Looks great,have you been happy with the triton looking at a small bench top router table and router.Haven’t decided to build one or just buy a kreg but it has to have a lift

Hi Mark, Yes I agree with your last statement, your router table needs to have a lift especially for that micro adjustment for accuracy. I have been happy with the Triton, it’s powerful with a soft start and I like how it adjusts with the turn of a handle clockwise or anti clockwise. It also comes with a wind up handle which can be added and works in the same way as the lifter if you set it up. The main reason I decided with this mini router table build is it can easily be pulled apart and packed up if I need space or not using it. If your serious about doing a lot of work on the router and have the room in your workshop and budget, then go for it, something a bit bigger and set up. Thanks for watching and your support, good luck 🤞

I love this router table u have built. How do u find the Triton. I've heard they are a great option?

The Triton is a great router with a soft start and plenty of power. I really like the micro adjustment you can get with this router lifting up and down with the round handle. Also changing bits is easier as all you have to do is wind it all the way down and it automatically locks the shaft, then you use your spanner provided to loosen the collet nut. This router was designed for router tables.

Just one thing I would point out. The internal switch and plug. Does the plug at the back (front) go live when you put the switch on? As if it does it is a safety issue and I would change it yo a socket. Otherwise great ideas and well done job.

You basically use an extension lead (plugged into your workshop power point) to plug into the back male 3 x pin plug which then sends power to the front on/off switch. Then when you turn the switch on it powers the power point/device plugged into it...ie router turns on.

The terribly long print times are why I became disillusioned with 3D printing. For most parts, I can fabricate an equivalent component using metal or wood in less time. Granted, the 3D printer allows me to spend time doing other things but when I need the part ASAP that becomes a moot point.
