Great build. I have been looking at making the ShopNotes version, but did not want to have to drill my router plate for the top adjustment. I believe this will work great for me. Thank you so much for sharing!!!

Best router lift ever. Just finished building it to replace my old one. I did not use the 90deg drill, but went with a top screw like I had before. Works like a charm with a new DeWalt. Thanks a bunch for the video. My next build will be the slot mortiser to use my old router.

I agree. Best I have seen yet. Going to adopt the same procedure for mine. Who cares if he called the track "T" instead of "U" as someone negatively stated. Credit where credit is due and don't sweat the small stuff!!

Nicely done! I really enjoyed seeing the project come together, but also the pace and production quality of your video was excellent. The technique of showing some parts in fast forward worked very well.

An altogether ingenious solution... bravo!

this really makes me want to make a router lift! so simple yet effective!

love the simple design. great job

Ive looked at other router lift designs, and because i built a router cabinet without a whole lot of vertical space inside, i think this is the design ill go with. I always look forward to your videos, and especially appreciate the updates on your designs/projects.

i've watched quite a number of router lift DIY and I like your design very much. One problem I see in almost all lifts is that they are unbalanced in the sense that only one side of the lift supports the weight of the router. I built a router lift about 3 years ago from a Matthias plan and noticed this problem almost immediately. It worked but I never was happy with it. I planned to upgrade his design with the same idea as yours by using the right angle drill adaptor but this coincided with my buying a Triton router which had it's own lift built in and with that purchase the problem was solved.

Great lift! Can't wait to start setting up shop. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Outstanding on every level. The video was all business, packed with info, showed everything and did not waste one second of my time. The project itself is well conceived and executed. A router lift is something I've been considering for some time and I could not decide on a design, nor did I like anything I saw, until now. I'm glad you shared this knowledge. Thank you. P.S. I had to come back and edit this. I do not have your skill, and I doubt I ever will, but I think I can get a simpler version of this to work. But - there is no flippin' way I would even attempt to drill a hole dead center in the end of thread stock. Fuggedaboudid. Anybody think of something else that would work, please reply.

This might be the best shop made router lift I've seen. Nice work!

I'd like to see more time spent on explaining how you got things square. That's always the most difficult part of making something like this. Sometimes you really want a straight router bit that's right on perpendicular to your table. More info on how that lift keeps that would be very helpful.

Excellent design.... Really nice

that nifty and if you added a motor it would serve a brake and motorised lift. you could almost figure out how to make this cnc controlled lift so you can zero a bit and set you cut and change as necessary with accurate results. plenty close enough for woodworking but spot on for a lock router bit.

I have been looking at all the router lift's over the past few months on you tube. and i must say your's is outstanding well explained and a very good video. 10/10 mate Thanks for sharing this on youtube. CROOKY

ok i do like the design of this lift. very simple and to the point. i have wanted to do something like this for a while but getting a non plunge router in nz is difficult and extremely expensive. for a one man shop i have never been able to justify the cost and as i just retired i guess its a pipe dream lol. i miss my shaper.

+Tayler Made I modified a cheap (old) black n decker plunge router by putting a threaded rod finished with the head of a furniture bolt through the base and up to the old depth adjustment bar, where I mounted a nut. Can then adjust depth from the base. Then just mount that to a bit of MDF with a hole in it. Works great as it just uses the existing plunge mechanism.

Excellent... Cheers...

Beautiful

Love the project, but what I loved even more is the pace of the video and your narration. Lots of times when I watch this type of video, and I've watched a ton of them, I have to speed up the video to 1.5 times or in a few cases even 2 times normal speed cause the speaker is mumbling away and showing things at normal speed which should have been sped up at a minimum or cut out altogether. And very clear too! It was really easy to follow what you were doing. Huge props Great job on both the project and the production value of your video. I'm subscribing!

I think that if I had gotten a cool 90deg like you did, it would also have made me excitedly energetic enough to rebuild (build) a new router lift (and table to go along with it (haha). Glad you're going to put the lock on it. Would hate to have gone through all that nice a build only to have the lift move, even the tinniest amount, and screw up a project.

Hi great vid and very well made but watching this video I noticed if you bang the router table the 90 degree angle attachment ( as it's a friction fit and small clip ) could drop the threaded rod out which means the router could drop out the bottom of the runners. Might I suggest a pillow bearing on the end of the threaded rod at the bottom just for the extra security of keeping the router in place.

really cool

Very neatly done. :-)

Loctite® Plastics Bonding System is a two-part cyanoacrylate adhesive that sets in seconds and develops tremendous strength with just one drop. The activator primes hard-to-bond surfaces such as polypropylene and polyethylene. Loctite® Super Glue Plastics Bonding System dries clear and sets without clamping. It is resistant to water, most chemicals and freezing temperatures.

Very good job, I have long wanted to buy a cnc. You could say how much the cnc cost you and where you bought it, without the motor

Hey Ryan. I've used/adapted this design and included it in a video on my Diy table saw. if you get chance, see what you think.

E X C E L L E N T ! ! ! BRAVOOOOO !!! .

Four years after your video went public and your excellent design is still very much current. Do you have any plans one could use for reference?

Very nice! I liked every step of the build. Regarding the spacer piece between the tracks, I usually make them smaller and add sandpaper shims until I get it right. Sometimes I need to adjust the shimming in the winter, but I guess that's because I'm using particle board instead of plywood. Have you experienced something like that? thanks!!
