After having a router sitting on the router table for 5 years, and not using it because it was hard to set up. I bought the fx. I have used this more than I have ever used my router before. I had to remove the rake off the rounter rack to make it work. I wish I would have bought this a long time a go. Fast setup, great cuts, and a joy to use.

Bought this about 2 years ago and I find it makes table routing a breeze. Unfortunately, I had to figure out how to retension the locking mechanism because it started to creep. Turned out to be ease. Using with a dedicated Bosch 1617, which fits perfectly. Got the steel dust collection unit with the Rockler table and top and everything fits and works perfectly. Get Rockler's dust collection T with the 2.5 inch and 4 inch ports and it will really help with dust. Highly recommend this combination.

Love it, wish I had bought it long ago. Using it with a Benchdog cast iron table and it dropped in perfectly with no problem. Bosch 1617 router motor also fits perfectly. I tightened the tension screw one notch and it seems to hold the height adjustment quite well. I also added a Wixley remote digital readout. This lift combined with the digital readout makes setup a breeze and dead-on accurate. I simply zero the top most edge of the bit and them simply raise the bit to the height I've used on a test piece.

i bought this over a year ago, and finally got around to using it this weekend. All I can say is wow. It popped in my Rockler table easily, my Dewalt router popped in just as quick., in 5 minutes i was banging out draw parts. Fantastic product great price.

Overall it is very good. I rate as such because the plastic insert is not flat or very stiff. After one hour of use, the router started moving up which required an adjustment of the tension device. When it started moving, it moved quickly. I put this in a Rockler table top that I had purchased 4-5 years ago so I had to increase the opening size. When I lowered it to its bottom, the router ran into my dust collection box which had to modify. Being able to raise the router high enough to change the bit is nice although I had to purchase a new wrench and grind it thinner.

This is a great lift for the money. I just completed 4 raised panel doors and drawer fronts and it worked perfectly. I only wish that I had it when I made the previous four as it would have saved me so much time. I still used a scrap piece when changing bits to make sure the height was correct but I found I could dial it in perfectly within seconds. The lift fit my DeWALT 618 router like a glove even though the instructions said a shim would be required. After reading the other reviews I was a little concerned about the lift height drifting during use. As a precaution I increased the tension on the lift screw by one "notch" on the brass nut. I did not feel any noticable difference in the tension during adjustment and the lift did not move at all during use, even after cutting large raised panel doors from cherry. Overall an excellent product and value.

Having had problems with the Bosch mount galling up the router motor from chips filling in around the motor and making adjustment nearly imposible I bought this router lift, it was the best move I could have made. Adjusting the bit height is so easy now and changing bits is also easy to do above the table. I did get some drifting of the height while routing but it was not the fault of the lift it was from an out of balance router bit. I enjoy using this lift very much. It is well made and will most likely last me a long time. I recommend it to anyone who asks about it.
