captainobvious bought one recently that he has had good luck with.

It may be more economical to buy than build??
I support your endeavor into building one.
Also want to see if I can do it. Kinda test myself.
Yeah, the router lift looks pretty interesting...but what keeps the adjusting rod from moving due to vibration and lowering during prolonged use? I would have added some kind of tightening device to hold the lift once adjusted. The idea for the sacrificial zero-clearance insert is cool also.
I have not built one for two reasons....
1. Time. I have very little spare time, so it was more beneficial to purchase a lift/table than it was to make them.
2. no matter how good my skills are, a router lift built by me will never be as precise as a quality machined lift. For me, my router lift needs to be a precision tool.
There a few videos of diy lifts. Shop notes had a design a few years ago that is one of the nicer ones. There is also a video of a Steve Ramsey building it. Search YouTube for "shopnotes router lift" and it should be the first one.
It doesn't necessarily have to have a lock on it. My commercial one doesn't have a lock and it never moves.

I watched a vid last night talking about the shop notes lift. They all look about the same with a way of sliding and a threaded rod for adjustment. The shop noted one the guy built used v groves instead of the drawer sliders.
I have a craftsman table saw sitting in the garage I go a couple of weeks ago. I am going to see if it has that piece. What model # is your router?
Thanks for the video too.

Do you remove the router to change depth? Looks solid.
Ooh I'm in on this. Got a brand new PC 891 router and can't do shit with it.

Change depth with no removal but to change bits its east to remove maybe 10 seconds
My plan is to build the router into a table like this with my table saw.
Found a little woodworking shop up the road with all kinds of plates and lifts etc and enough bits and templates to keep me broke for a long long time. And it's right across from the office. Makes it super efficient to effectively blow all my money. Definitely a tool toy store. But fascinating a drop in router plate is less than many of the high-end bits behind the glass. Gonna try to get in on a class for shits and giggles. A little 'sharpen the saw' time for me.

That is one well thought out workstation! I would kill for that kind of room to work!
As soon as craftsman replaces my rip fence that was broken in the box I can build this.

Started on mine today. Hopefully make some good progress this week.
Day 2. Got the tablesaw framed in. All I have to do is level it and install the T-Tracks for the rip fence.

Good work korn......I need one if these badly.....lol.
May buy a router plate this weekend. It is going to rain monday so I won't be able to work on it till wednesday. I was wanting to have it done then, but I don't think that will happen.
I gotta get cracking on something. I gots rings/teardrop baffle to do for a tweet/mid a-pillar job. Much to learn. But concerned about materials. Erin hooked a brutha up with a piece of corian that might be dang awesome if I can figure out how to do it flush with some low temp plastic. Unlike MDF, I imagine corian would not take kindly to staples.

Babs, CA glue and accelerator spray, works wonder.. Just get the gel ones no the 2-3 second ones or you are gonna see some smoke and it smells really nasty

Got the casters on, and leveled the top, t-tracks-and table saw out. Next up going to make a place for the drill press and chop saw. Then I will work on the router part. I planned on being finished this week but the rain got in the way.

Well that hurt! But it's a start. LOL!
Now to get busy and practice flushing into a table with some old scrap MDF.

Just gotta finish the router area and a few small details.
Klingspor right across from my office. Great toy store for tools. Thinking of repurposing this old desktop that used to be in our kitchen with a countertop laminate over wood. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...a740a08b13.jpgQuote:

My little one-day DIY build some years ago.
Or maybe do a top on this old vanity I've been too lazy to throw away.

good stuff right there.. been looking at Instagram and pinterest for ideas.. But new saw is pretty wide, heavy, and needs a new fence system. Saw one using 1x4s but sure if that is strong enough for the this craftsman table saw.. could use a router table/attachment though..
Well I guess you can make it hard or easy...

Not the best but not the worst. All I lack is the original plan of the router lift lol.
