1) Submitted by Jeff, from Kingsport, TN on 4/22/2011 Customer Rating: Works exactly as described! I had to get the optional kit to get my PC 892 to fit. I was able to get it attached to my Rockler table and adjusted in about 30 minutes. I love this! The ease and accuracy of the height adjustment was superb.

4) Submitted by Ed Shertz, from Somerset, KY on 2/27/2011 Customer Rating: This unit is wonderfully engineered and manufactured. It was a pleasure to install. Solid as a rock. I put a PC 8902 motor in with the bench dog adapter. Instructions very clear. Absolutely glitch free installation into the Bench Dog solid phenolic top. Shimmed the plate with Lexan the stuff used in screen doors instead of glass which is 3/32" 0.100" thick from Lowes in the glass dept.. Cut four triangular pieces 2.5" on the equal sides with a cutout for the mounting screw in the left rear and right front. Held them in place with a little spray adhesive. The left rear corner required one index card shim in addition. Zeroed a rabbiting bit and raised it 3/8" according to the height adjuster, did a test cut and it was within 0.002 on the first try. Sweet!!!

5) Submitted by Bob Wilkins, from Oxnard, CALIFORNIA on 6/28/2011 Customer Rating: I've been using the ProLift Router Adjustment System for about a year and a half and I'm pleased with the product's precision, accuracy and ease of use. The only reason I won't rate it as excellent are the poor quality of the plastic router inserts, specifically as it relates to insert thickness. The ProLift router plate is precisely machined to accept an insert that's 0.125" thick. The 1.5" insert that came with the ProLift has an average thickness of 0.118". The 2.5" insert I purchased later has an average thickness of 0.117". Both measurements are +/-0.0005 Because I route numerous pieces less than 12 inches long, this thickness variation does not meet my requirements. I purchased a sheet of 0.125" ABS plastic sheet and made my own inserts.

6) Submitted by Dennis Dever, from Dayton, OH on 1/6/2011 Customer Rating: Pro lift table high quality. Lift works great. Disappointed to find out that Bench Dog only has a 2-1/2" insert to fit their table plate. I am routing raised panel doors and the router bit opening needs a larger insert to do them. I called Bench Dog and they do not have any that large nor do they say ither manufactured inserts will work with their Pro Lift table.
