  Thank you so much! A lot of people brought up the concern that the ceiling mounts may come loose over time. Although I haven’t experienced this issue (yet) I think I would have it be a recessed top mounted next time.

  I have a DIY router table without any lift mechanism but I need to upgrade. what are all the rings for. Are they needed?

•

  Not needed per se. I used to have a DIY table that had a gap big enough for my largest bit. It basically just closes the gap up to the bit.

  Hi this is definitely unique mounting system for the saw as it allows precise alignments. I am looking into building a miter station for my new saw. You definitely did the right thing by using Loctite thread locker as an added insurance. Since it has been over 6 months how is this system holding up? Are there any recommendations you may have if you were to build another one again? Thanks in advance for any insights you can share.

• 
  @FirstFruitsDesignCo4 ай бұрын

  All the potential concerns I had have not become concerns. The system hasn’t loosened or anything. I still have the thought of the screws possibly coming loose some day and if I had to build it again I may do recessed through bolts to suspend the carriage, just for added peace of mind.

• 
  @ashokmoghe80354 ай бұрын

  @@FirstFruitsDesignCo Thanks for a prompt response. I agree on driving the bolts deeper. Here are a couple of other ideas you may want to consider. Instead of the Blue thread locker you can use Red thread locker. Blue is a temporary thread locker that can be loosened where as Red is a permanent one that can't be unthreaded once cured. Other option could be using epoxy instead of the thread lockers which will also make it permanent like the Red thread locker. Just my $0.02. TC.

  I just bought the JessEm Rout-R-Lift II from Lee Valley (~$300 CAD), which comes with 3 of the red inserts, not 10. I didn't watch this review first, but it makes me feel better about my choice! My plan is to build a router table top that I can slip onto my workmate (with the lift mechanism between the first and third planks), since my little shed isn't big enough for all the toys that I'd like. If that doesn't work, then I'll make a box for a table top setup instead.

  Do you remember when cars had a crank handle to roll the window up and down? If youre not using a computer controlled, motorized lift, then you're missing out. MLCS Woodworking has had a motorized lift for many years. Its hard to believe people still buy crank handle lifts when you can get a lift that accurately moves in .001" increments, has the ability to store position locations, can bring the router up to bit change position with the press of a button, can do plunge operations using the foot pedal, and on and on. You should review the PowerLift Pro from MLCS woodworking and forget that archaic stuff.

  I’ve had the Jessem Master LiftII for about 5 years now and love it. It has 3 ‘v’ shaped clamps inside itself to hold the router which clamps very securely and no bending of the posts. I’m thinking it was a little over $300 at the time. Not 100% sure. I paired it with a Milwaukee 3 1/2 hp router variable speed. What a beast of a setup!!! I highly recommend this one!!!

  I actually checked these two out a while back. Came to the same conclusion plus that push button feature is cool, but a possible failure point. Is there a back up way yo release thise pretty blue rings. Also of note, the Jessem comes eith a blank insert so you can cut your own insrrt for your favorite bit. Also Jessem has a lot bigger selection of inserts. so you can find a size very close to the bit you are using. Great review!

  Agree about the color. I'm feeling a grey or army green. As for the suspension mount for the saw, I see your point. I will stick to the traditional cabinet for two reasons: I don't anticipate many changes in the saw I'm using, and I have the ability to adjust the height of the top with bolts much as you have.

  I would never buy another phenolic insert plate. I got the $250 kreg router table and the plate was terribly bowed to the center. Had them send a replacement "precision" router plate. Still bowed. Couldn't even flatten them out with a CNC machine since they warped after cutting. Save yourself the hassle and get a beefy aluminum or steel version and check it with a straight edge before installing.

  I'm not one posting a comment, but your video has inspired me. Two things I noticed. The number is how well you both work together. That is an absolute plus in so many ways, not only when you need that "extra" hand to help hold something, but more so when two brains bring out the best thought processes. Secondly, dust collection. I feel you are aware that glue used in foaming plywood and other materials is harmful to your health. With the way you miter saw discharges upward, it would be easy to connect a shop vacuum. Even if only temporary. I look forward to seeing you both on the next project. Good job!
