DIY Router Lift

- I've needed a router lift for a while, so I finally made the initial design. I opted to use a scissor jack for the raise/lower mechanism, and other scraps I had on hand. More improvements and mods to come!

I have been playing around for ages to make a lift for my tablesaw, tried a lift arm, used a car jack, but was not very practical, this design is the way I will do this, very well strong built also, big respect to you great video 👊
Thank you for the wonderful design. I am making a similar lift. I have implemented a low rpm (3) rotisserie motor to turn the jack screw wired to a foot pedal so I can make circle cut outs in 1 1/2" (3/4" glued) MDF for speakers. Easily disconnecting the motor with a pin to turn it by hand for bit changes.
Great idea! Send some pics if you can.
I have been looking at screw jack router lift videos as I am planning on making one myself. Yours is one of the better ones.
Thank you. It works like a charm but there’s always room for improvement.
Baring all the metal fab, this is by far the easiest lift I have seen. Great job. I will definitely be using this design when I build mine, with less metal fab of course....lol
Haha, thanks, that’s was the goal! Good luck!
Love the scissor jack idea.
I like how you combine woodworking and metal working!
+Pete Smith Thanks! I really enjoy doing it!
Nice project and great video! Gave me some excellent ideas to make mine. Probably de only change I would do is the lifting mechanism. Instead of t-tracks and plastic strips I would just use a pair of drawer slides.
Great video and process. I like the scissor lift system. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
Very nice job. You made an original twist with the jack. Cheers!
+Rick Van Hooren thanks!
I like the jack! It seems like overkill but it sure will make it easy to raise and lower and it certainly won't strain to lift it.
+John Hurrell Haha thanks! Yeah I was just trying to go a different route than the usual all thread with a drill or wrench attached. Plus it's cheap and very simple!
YES! I was thinking about using a jack recently(but hadn't figured out how I was going to proceed,) so thank you very much! I subscribed too...cheers...rr
Thank you +Richard Rider and good luck!
Thanks...rr
Oh man! Such a great build! Awesome video, thumbs up! And I also see a pretty nice shop over there, congrats :)
Thanks +Black Beard Projects! I need to get some blacksmith stuff filling up the shop like you!
Good video, and also a tutorial for me.
Scissor jack lifting system for a router table, this is what i was looking for.
Thank you for the video.
Great job. 🙏
By the way, Happy New Year 2020.
Thank you! And Happy New Year to you too!
thank you for video. I need to do a router table
+Борщ TV Thanks for watching! I highly recommend building one - very useful.
I need to find the similar car jack. Well made
Thank you Lynard Burt. They are very cheap and very common.
One improvement I would make to this is find a jack with a hex nut instead of the doodad you got on this one. That way you can use a drill to raise and lower it easier.
I thought about that but like the precision of a hand crank. I plan on making it a knob with a lock though at some point.
MM, used your idea recently, but used drawer slides on the box. took about half the work out of it. Thanks for the idea though.
Great idea. Hope it works well for you.
Hi, really enjoyed this build and will have a crack myself . Had you thought about extending the jack spindle so that you could access it more easily without bending down and under the table, only reason I ask is Im an older guy so access and easibilty is always the final process in a build for me. Well done though, keep the good stuff coming
+Gordon Agent Thank you! Yes I planned on doing that, I just haven't gotten around to doing it yet. Good luck on the build!
Very nice great job
Thanks Bel Amj!
Great build! Did you post the blue prints for this anywhere?
+Karl Mueller thank you! No, not yet.
BRAVO, BUEN TRABAJO!!!!!
+Luis Saya Gracias!
You trust your staples and plywood more than you should. I did too at one time until I had a rogue staple shoot out the side and go through my thumb. I had to pry the board from my thumb. I had an entry and exit with a curved staple. It was not good. Keep your hands clear.
I know this feeling all too well.
I like it!
+Slöjdkanalen Mariebergsskolan Thanks!
Would someone please work out a diagram of this build.
Is there a reason your table saw insert has a gap at one side, and is held in place with screws (at 3:40)?
That was just the width scrap wood I had at the time when I made it. The screws just keep tension to keep it in place. I had planned on making another but never got around to it since it worked just fine.
Brilliant!!! Do you have a plan for this project?
Thanks for sharing
Thank you! No unfortunately I don’t.
@@AModernMaker okay no problem. Take care
great job have one question, do you have any trouble with the jack slipping and the blade dropping?
Thank you +Joe Daniels! No, not yet. But I plan on adding a locking mechanism to keep that from ever being an issue.
Is there no hassle replacing the router bit ??
+Rolando Aldana No, I just crank it all the way up and it is very easy.
My only concern with this type of design is that the router will only be held down by its own weight. This should be perfect for most bits but an upcut spiral bit could pull the bit into the workpiece.
The work piece will push down on the frame that holds the router so the forces will cancel out.
Got this idea on mine ,,, But changeing the bits is a pain
I hear ya. I designed it making sure I could still get a wrench in there to change the bits.
Now that's using your head for something other than a hat rackI like it
Thank you +William Castleberry
Good job. Pity you don't show your final result FIRST at the very beginning.
Thanks. I’ll consider that next time.
There is no arrangement measuring the lift
Not yet, but plan to implement one. I also need to add a height lock knob, although I haven't had a problem with the router/jack lowering while using yet.
Another silent video on You Tube,THANKS.
You’re welcome!

Good idea and a skilled work, but stupid wide-angle camera setting ruin the whole video!
But you still watched the whole video. So it couldnt have been as bad as you say.
How stupid; $100000 worth of equipment to make a lift, gime a fucking break !
It was more like $600 worth of equipment. What's a better lift idea?
