You might want to read this BEFORE you start. I just completed the assembly of the stand, attached the table, and installed the Spin-Rite router and lift. This video is incredibly helpful, especially if you are a visual learner, but here is certainly more adjustments that need to be made in order to make the lift level with the table--which is a good thing. I just wish they had touched on it a little more. There are two things that are driving me crazy as I completed this portion of th build: 1) Where are the screws (if needed) to install (attach) the lift onto the table using the four counter sunk holes at the four corners of the lift? 2) I wish there were markings on the table stand which would indicate or correspond to the height of the completed table. I thought I was assembling the stand so that the table height would be right for me, but alas, the table is too high. I will need to lower the stand legs, which involves removing and reinstalling about 20 bolts and nuts. #**%#! One of the advantages of assembling this entire system yourself is that you get to know your router table pretty well along the way--which is a good thing.
I finally put mine together and I agree with #1. I’m freeze-framing multiple videos on this complete product and all TH-camrs, including these guys, seem to happily omit the corner screws
@@moonlanded I have the same router table and lift as in the video and was missing the 4 corner screws too and I emailed the company and told them. They said they would mail them to me. I've also had problems with lack of the right size cap screws for working on the fence. I went out and bought my own.
I was a WI state certified cabinetmaking and building trades instructor for over 37 years. I purchased the PRL-V2 Router Lift, Micro Adjust Fence, and phenolic table system about eight years ago. I combined the system with a Milwaukee 3 hp, variable speed router. This is one of the most accurate and used pieces of equipment in my very well equipped home shop. When I received the lift, I was concerned that there was some "slop" or "run out" related to up and down movement when I would grasp and pull up on the chuck after set in position. I was concerned that if I tried to plow in a long dovetail, the router might lift the approximate 1/32", causing an irregular depth. Woodpeckers sent me another lift and the same situation existed. I then had one of their tech support associates check one of their lifts. He validated my claim of "vertical play" in the thread system. I decided to give the lift a try and have never experienced any problems with accuracy over many years. I always make my final setting while moving the router"up" with the thumb wheel. If I go past my setting, I go back to a lower level and then back up to the final setting. A router places huge amounts of fine dust in the shop environment. I paired my lift/table with an Incra CleanSweep Dust Cabinet below the table. Connected that to my 5hp dust collection system and it clears 98% of the dust the router creates. I have about $1k wrapped up in this piece of equipment but I am well satisfied.
Hi Joe, Did you install INCRA CleanSweep Dust Collection in addition to their INCRA 6-pc CleanSweep MagnaLOCK Ring Set on the Woodpecker router table? Thank you
@@charleskusi8796 , I made my investment in my router table system about 8 years ago but, I believe I checked out a fitment of the INCRA Rings with the PRL-V2 Router Lift. I don't think they matched up or I would have made the purchase.. You can call INCRA or Woodpeckers technical support because INCRA may have adapted rings to fit the Woodpecker PRL-V2 Lift as well as their INCRA lift. The INCRA open, slotted rings would allow for even better dust draw down from beneath the table.
I recently purchased the PRP4 package and am very impressed with the entire system. Shortly after I completed the assembly I circled back and picked up the flip stops, feather boards and micro-adjust. What an amazing set up. Oh, I forgot the dust cabinet, too. It’s better than anything I could build, and being in a professional shop I need accuracy. I’ll have my routing needs satisfied for years to come! Thanks Woodpeckers, keep building awesome tools!!!
Nice video. I wish I had it when I put mine together about a month ago. While this was about the lift, I have a suggestion for the table assembly. You instruct to attach all the crossbeams with the L shape to the top which I did. When done, I really wanted to make shelves for the table and decided the best way to support them and maximize the height between the shelf and the dust collector was to take the table apart and mount the crossbeams with the L on the bottom. Then a simple task to cut the shelves, make small cutouts for the bolts and drop the shelves in. You could note that as an optional approach in your assembly manual.
@@SharpToolsUSA Yes, I wanted to both keep things from falling out and also increase the distance between the shelf and the bottom of the Woodpecker dust collection box.
He pointed everything out just fine, but those last 4 holes he left us hanging. It might be for mounting shop made tables Edit: I just googled prl-v2 to see how much it would set me back and next thing I know I'm in this chat room. Now I know what those holes are for and why he didn't mention them. Its for the kreg system. Actually they are both the same exact thing . I guess that its branded under a few names.
Probably my favorite tool in the shop, combined with one of your table tops and an Incra Fence System. I cherish my aluminium router plate inserts. Maybe more of us should be buying "Made in the USA" products.
My only gripe is not thinking the tools thru. LOVE wood woodpecker precision and quality. Just feel this one wasn't thought out. GREAT lift .... but life could be easier. 3 tools!? One big chunky lift hook with a spring on it. One spanner wrench to install and remove insert plates. And allen wrench to lock the brake. Again I am NOT knocking the lift. Just wish we could get down to say 1 tool. Make inserts pop out maybe? Put a hex end on the lift hook for the brake? Only want to keep track of one tool.
Saving my coaching money for a Woodpeckers router table, but curious which router has been the best in the table. Reviews of router quality is all over the place for all the brands so I was curious which you guys have had the best luck with.
I wish there were more reviews with The 8 1/4 and 11 3/4 lift or pics of what that model looks like if there any holes too mount lift to router table I have Rockler cast iron table just trying find good lift been Hesitant about it just trying find a good lift that will last lifetime
Michael, we sell two sizes of router table, 24" x 32" and 27" x 43". The Super Fence extends 2" beyond both ends of the smaller table and is 3-1/2" short of each end on the big one. Depending on the job at hand, you can adjust that by several inches by sliding the fence along the base as needed. I've never found the Super Fence to be too short for anything I needed to do. Personally, I use the 24" x 32" table.
OMG I'm an idiot...👎 I didn't see what was right in front on me... I am getting old... I knew I had to be wrong... YAY Woodpeckers I love your stuff...
Hi, I just purchased this from a wife of a woodworker who passed. I was wondering my lift looks identical except there are not mounting holes in the plate, do I have to change the plate on the lift? Also i am missing two oval nuts to screw in the feather boards, is there are way to purchase only a few. I see they are available on the site, I can a bag, but the shipping is more than the cost of two bags.
I am having issues with my lift. When I engage the lift tool the unit slides down no issues however, if I release the down pressure the lift stays put. I need to pull the unit up from the router rendering the tool useless. and I can't put on the dust box because I need constant access to the router. is there an adjustment I'm missing. Other than that, it's an unbelievable router system.
Eddie, When you insert the tool at 9 o'clock, you should turn it a quarter turn to 12 o'clock. At that point, you should be able to push the router down or pull it up with only moderate pressure. It should not "spring" up, but you should be able to lift it by the handle relatively easily. If it is sticky, clean the rods and wax them with a very, very thin layer of paste wax. If none of these tips help, contact Customer Service.
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 changing addition
I purchased one of these with the same router you have here in the vid. I have good dust collection but have found the lift mechanism sticks a little when I raise and lower. To the point that I have to hold the top plate down so it doesn't come out of the table. Should I be lubricating the 2 lift rods?
If it worked fine before, and it just started getting sticky, yes, lube the guide posts. If it's been like that since day "1"...make sure you haven't over-tightened the clamping pads.
I use a dry lubricant on mine and put some on about once a year. That's all that is needed. Important (for me,anyway) is when you make adjustments with the fine-adjustment wheel, always get to your final cut going UP. Gear backlash can get you if you try it going down and the router can drop a bit from what you thought was your final adjustment. Going up always keeps the gear loaded by gravity.
Hi...I looked these lifts up on Amazon and Woodpeckers site, and found there is a 3 digit number after the PRL-V2. Numbers are 350, 414 and 420 for example, (there may be more), so what do these numbers mean? Anyone know?
Very informative. The design of the router lift is very simple yet wasnt intuitive for me when I got mine. This video helped connect the dots. One thing to mention is that my woodpecker router lift would not fit in my (woodpecker) phenolic router table with the side plunges installed. I backed them in as far as they could go and they still prevented the lift from dropping into the cut out on the table. Wasnt a huge deal since I just removed the plunges from the lift and it dropped right in. It seems like with tolerances that narrow it'd be easy to mess up during manufacturing which seems the case with my table top. Also totally not trying to troll the older dude but he looks like he needs a complete physical with his MD. It was hard to understand him between suckin all that air. He looks very unhealthy.
This is a very well made router lift. What I don't like about that router lift are the pads. If your router dies and you get a replacement that is not compatible with the pads, you need to get the right pads again.
I purchased v2 420 router lift unfortunately I couldn't find the router you recommended (porter able 7518) what are the list of other routers I can use?

They must have. I, like you, have a Pinnacle that I bought years ago, I recall the price was something like $300, about the same as the large PC router motor I installed at the time, the same model they show in this video. It’s been a great performer!! Totally trouble free and the only maintenance has been an occasional dry lube of the posts. There are some very minor differences, but they are identical for all intents and purposes. I really like mine, though there are other lifts that have a crank level that looks like it works better than the spring-loaded handle for getting the setting close. I really like the micro adjust wheel and the rotating scale. I’d buy mine again.
Nice but not liking the plunge handle to much physical work. I ordered this months before i got my Mast R lift 2 which is quicker and easier to use. I can dial in precisely with both units but this unit takes longer to dial in. If I were a production shop this would not work in my favor . I'm currently working on modifying this unit.
The questions and answers are right here! We decided not to do it live because we can do better camera work on the close-ups when we record and then edit.
Purchased one 2 years ago. Replaced it this year with a Jessem. Don't like your method of raising and lowering the lift one bit. A crank handle works much better than this spring loaded twist and push system you have. The thumb wheel very hard to turn ro make adjustments. Started into woodworking in 1976. So I have seen just about every lift that has been produced.
If the thumbwheel was hard to turn you might have had the brake partially set. If not, there was something wrong and you should have contacted us for service. We would gladly have fixed or replaced.
@@SharpToolsUSA No, not my first rodeo. Brake was not set. Just hard to turn like mechanism not aligned. Emailed your folks twice. Emailed them about issues with my Axiom CNC I also purchased 3 years ago. Never got corrected or a follow-up.
@@SharpToolsUSA No problem. I have had similar issues with other woodworking supply companies. After sales and service are very important. They set the tone for future sales.No support or concern for me, I just stop spending my hard earned dollars with them.
Woodpeckers is an American company that manufactures products in America, They use American workers and make products for the American market. What a concept, eh?
You need 2 different tools to move the router up and down and to lock it? Bad engineering. The jessum lifts use the same tool for both operations. Much better.
Except the Jessem doesn’t have quick adjust for bit changes. I’ve used both and can say it’s much quicker to use the quick adjust than having to manually crank the router up and down every time. Also no tools needed for the micro adjust is a far superior design as well.
You might want to read this BEFORE you start. I just completed the assembly of the stand, attached the table, and installed the Spin-Rite router and lift.

If the thumbwheel was hard to turn you might have had the brake partially set. If not, there was something wrong and you should have contacted us for service. We would gladly have fixed or replaced.
@@SharpToolsUSA No, not my first rodeo. Brake was not set. Just hard to turn like mechanism not aligned. Emailed your folks twice. Emailed them about issues with my Axiom CNC I also purchased 3 years ago. Never got corrected or a follow-up.
@@JDDupuy Sorry Customer Service didn't respond correctly. That's not the standard around here.
@@SharpToolsUSA No problem. I have had similar issues with other woodworking supply companies. After sales and service are very important. They set the tone for future sales.No support or concern for me, I just stop spending my hard earned dollars with them.
Take my damn money 😃👍🏻
Nice. Is it available in Metric, or does Woodpeckers restrict their market to 5% of the planet's population?
Woodpeckers is an American company that manufactures products in America, They use American workers and make products for the American market. What a concept, eh?
Eso me gustó: el señor grande tiene una navaja de verdad (buena) y no el tal cuter
The incra version is better. The plates that has the opening for the vacuum is a God send
Well Marvin, that’s your opinion...
@@Matlock69 it's a fact. Have toy seen it?
Where are Woodpecker products made? Are these real USA made tools or China?
We make everything right here in Strongsville, Ohio...just south of Cleveland.
@@WoodpeckersLLC That is so awesome to hear.
You need 2 different tools to move the router up and down and to lock it? Bad engineering. The jessum lifts use the same tool for both operations. Much better.
Except the Jessem doesn’t have quick adjust for bit changes. I’ve used both and can say it’s much quicker to use the quick adjust than having to manually crank the router up and down every time. Also no tools needed for the micro adjust is a far superior design as well.
Did you really have to show unboxing?
Just buy a triton router Its already built in to the router
I cant even afford there small hand tools
Why not just buy a shaper?
For a home shop, router bits are more cost effective than shaper cutters. In addition, shapers cannot make cuts where the stock goes over the bit.
You are comparing apples and oranges
@@SharpToolsUSA , I have a spindle for my shaper that has a 1/2" collet just like a router.
@@daveklein2826 , Really?
@@areuaware6842 yes really
Poor Jay...I hope you own your own knife one day.
Maybe a one time tool in the future..."Jay's knife"?
