Shop built - Router Lift

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 มี.ค. 2016
- In this video I design and build another router lift. I used T-track and polyethylene for the linear guides and I used a 90 degree drill attachment to make the lift mechanism adjustable from the front instead of the top.
More info on this project here: shopbuilt.org/2016/04/24/shop-...
Table mount for the lift: • Router - Bench mount

I've seen a million router lift ideas, this is by far one of the cleanest.
+Adam Gabbert thank you!
Great Idea! I am loving all these great jig inspirations! thanks for everything!
+Wood By Wright thank you:)
McCauley's Workshop took the words right out of my mouth I was going to say that's the best looking shop made router lift I've seen on TH-cam
+Joe basementwoodworking thank you!
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!!
Ive never thought about using a 90 degree drill attachment like that. Thats an Amazing idea and very simple! Thanks for sharing
+Josh Millar thank you!
LOL.... I had almost this exact same idea the other day, you totally beat me to it. My heart skipped a beat the second I saw the right angle adapter in your hand. Great video and design man!
+TabLeft Workshop great minds think alike:)
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!!!
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!
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.
+Scott Hillegass thank you!!!
Great lift! Can't wait to start setting up shop. Thanks for sharing. 👍
+Matthew Johnson thanks:)
this really makes me want to make a router lift! so simple yet effective!
love the simple design. great job
+Art Connolly thanks:)
Man do I love this build. Well done!

+Jake and Emmy's Dad Workshop thank you:)
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 video. Awesome router lift.
Nice! A bit complicated but very functional. Love the slides.
Nice job.
That came out great.
Great music too.
Great concept, nice design! Best one that I have seen on YT for sure. Definitely will consider building this......Thanks for posting. Steve
+Sapele Steve thank you!
Great design... I'm going to have to pick up a right angle adapter now!
This might be the best shop made router lift I've seen. Nice work!
i totally agree..took the words from me..:]
+McCauley's Design wow, thank you!
Simply the best! Thank you!
agreed that is a well executed and slick design ... the 90° drill idea is amazing . ive been pondering a solution for my lift and that is brilliant. very "store bought" fit and finish. paint it up to match your tool brand of choice lol
Good design. I would use threaded metal inserts in the plastic for the lifting screw though.
Awesome design! Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
+RFD265 thanks for watching:)
That's just so cool. Thank you for sharing! I really want to build a router table one day and now I know how to make the lift.
+Markus Hoffmann thank you:)
wow! amazing
Brilliant idea, and video. Thank you
great build!
+Katz-Moses Woodworking Shop thank:)
one of the best DIY router lifts I have seen! great job man!
+GoGreenMan thank you!
Very innovative design. Video was also well done as usual. Thanks!
+Earl Davidson Woodworking thanks for watching!
Great build, really useful!
+Scrap wood City thank you:)
breastfeed
Quite impressive and great job explaining your work!
+Tiny Houses thank you!
Its elegant in its simplicity. Well done!
+Vectors2final thank you!
Excellent design.... Really nice
+Richard Shaw thank you!
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.
Very cool, and relatively simple. Great idea sir !
+Jory Hamblen thank you!
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 thank you!!
Damn brother! This has got to be the easiest router lift to build. I'm ordering the slides and 90degree bit now
Wes Hamstra y
Great project. Very cleaver!
now somone just needs to do this with a plunge router. I like the concept. well done.
+havenisse2009 yeah... The plunge makes things more difficult...
Thanks for watching
Ryan
Pretty slick, nice work.
+Dan Prudlow thank you!
That's awesome. You make it look so easy.
+Trey Stegall thank you:)
Very clever! I look forward to your next video. Cheers.
+David Handley thank you:)
Very neat, Simple but very effective.
Great router lift build !!
+The ShavingWood Workshop thank you:)
Много добър и полезен клип от който човек може да научи нещо полезно.
Nice Design and explanation.
+Miter Mike's Woodshop thank you:)
the best desing, you creat DIY Easy, tanks from Tabasco Mexico.
Nice job.
Very well thought out.
+Chem Cody thank you:)
hey you make awesome stuff!I love this! nice work!!
+BCdesign thank you!
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.
Great work! Wonder if it would work as well with a larger router.
awesome work.
+pullins woodworks thank you:)
Great idea and very well done video.

I need an x-carve I also think if you put a stepper motor and an arduino on this build you can control it from a switch module or lever
Looks great. Nice job. thank you for sharing...
+WoodCrafts 67 Terry Thomas WoodCrafts thank you:)
a very nice and simple router lift i have seen alot of people try and over complicate it.
Who makes the drill attachment? I love how small it is compared to what I have found in the past.
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!
+laurentco thank you! Always nice to get positive feedback on production:)
Very slick good job 👍
+J Rowe thank you!
Awesome job.
+I DIY Modern thanks:)
Another great vid. I adapted this design for my DIY table saw. Think you could let me know what you think of it?
Awesome Router Lift
+Chuck Mardon thanks!
Nice job! I look forward to the lock :-)
+Jan Smrčka next video:)
Thanks for watching!
Ryan
Fantastic idea.
+aranson68 thank you:)
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.
Cool build, man!
+DIY giveaways & tutorials thanks!
Nice with economic budget. I like it!
+Mattley thank you!
Very well done.
+J.D. Ransom thank you!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 good job!!!
Cool Idea thanks for sharing
excelente trabajo, quisiera saber que material es la placa negra, gracias, eduardo de argentina
nice set up.. any chance you have the brand name of the right angle drill?
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
Nice design. I need to build one of these.
+jeff hayes thank you:)
I like it!
+Maxim Kozlov thanks!
Beautiful
Neat project man.
+Wooden Tool Man thanks!
Excellent...
Cheers...
Nice job.
Like you I wish I had the height adjustment on the side instead of on top. Slick job on the new router lift Ryan!
+Saw Dust Maker thanks:)
Nice work!!!
+Kenneth Sievers thanks!
nice work man
+mario morijn thanks!
Great video
Nice build! As idea - you can have one more way to go with height adjustment that will be available at the top of router plate, you don't actually have to use this adapter and anyway you will be using top plate to cover space around router bit. Cheers!
Well done!
+KSFWG thank you:)
Very cool!
+Bruce A. Ulrich thanks!
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.
+MRrwmac for sure, just gotta figure out the best way to do it, once the lift is in the table.
Good job
Excellent
Very neatly done. :-)
+Olly Parry-Jones thanks!
really cool
You should make this into a hardware kit + plans for sale.
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!!
+Cactus! workshop I usually use shim as a last resort because after the project is finished, I usually take it apart and glue everything together but it's definitely a good back up.
Thanks for watching!
Ryan
E X C E L L E N T ! ! ! BRAVOOOOO !!! .
Great idea!!
+Minyong Kim thank you!
Nice. Im gonna use yours as inspiration. But i cant figure.... Is the router only hanging by the bit ? The rod can be pulled out of the drill attachment ?
This is a brilliant design, even after four years after it was conceived/made, that will remain at the top of the particular list of router lifts. I see that you have provided a knob to secure the position of the lift. I would like this modified so that it operates under a remote access too, like the lift mechanism, but that's a story for another day, I am sure. The whole system is easy to understand and you have made this aspect even easier with your clear description. Can you please advise where you obtained the 90 deg. drill attachment?
Sweet!
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 neat, most impressed, you have a new subscriber! :)
+Graham Monaghan thank you!
Good idea!
+Live Free and DIY thanks!
