I have a Bosch router table (the one that's like $190 @ HD) and a Porter Cable 892 router. It's treated me good over the past couple years.
Recently, I got fed up w/ reaching under the thing to raise or lower the router- also have to wiggle it just to get it to go up or down while raising or lowering it. I figured it was time to get a jessem mast-r-lift until I figured out my Bosch has a weird sized router mounting plate
and the Jessem wont work w/ it. Just curious if any one has any suggestions on a cost effective table?
I did concider making my own as well, have any of you successfully accomplished this?? I could still use the feet from my Bosch (w/ a nice paddle switch), stand, and fence. Seems simple enough right? What kind of wood would you use? I prefer this route as it seems to be the most cost effective and I could design it to suit my needs alot better. Thanx for any input :thumbsup:.
I just realized this should be in the tools section...
