No more crawling under the table. A lift gives you fingertip control — with quick, above-table height and cutter changes that save time and effort.

Why choose a lift and round-bodied motor?
- Router lifts are designed to make inverted routing easy and effortless
- Dedicated lifts allow for all height adjustments and cutter changes quickly, and above the table
- Router motors are engineered for router tables, with bearings and airflow built for the job
- Router motors deliver maximum power and torque for demanding cut
- Collets are positioned above the table for fast, effortless cutter changing
Why choose a lift for a plunge style hand-held router?
- If you already own a plunge router, you can use it in a table with a lift
- A plunge router gives you the flexibility to use it both in a lift and hand-held
- Gain the convenience and control of above-table height adjustments
- How to upgrade your plunge router in a lift
- Add a Musclechuck for easy, above- table cutter changing in seconds
- Use an NVR (No Volt Release) switch for safety and convenience- turn the router on and off without fumbling under the table
Peter Sefton’s tips
"Choose a router motor with at least 1500W output power and add an NVR switch for safety – a built-in NVR is even better.”
"Choose a router lift with a rigid 9.5mm aluminium top plate and sealed bearing pistons for reliable height adjustment - exposed greased parts only collect dust and compromise performance.”
Why router tables make sense
- Safer, cleaner, and easier to control
- Consistent accuracy without balancing the router motor
- Quick to set up and adjust, with controls right where you need them
Remember
Keep it safe and simple: Pair a lift with the right router motor, and table routing becomes effortless – every adjustment is fast, and every cutter change is accessible.
The takeaway
With a well-engineered lift and the right router setup, you’ll never struggle under the table again – adjustments are quick, precise, and always within easy reach.
