I have a Milwaukee 5625-29 that I mounted in an enclosed, shop made, MDF router table years ago. I included the adjustment hole to allow adjustment from the top, but I still have to open up the unit to unlock and lock it after every adjustment. (It won't move when the lock is latched.) Is there a way to loosen the lock so that the router is both stable in use and allows adjustment from the top? I can't see it easily, but I think there may be a latch tension adjustment on the base. However, I don't know if loosening the adjustment would leave the router out of square or subject to unwanted movement during use. Please let me know your experience, thanks.
I was thinking about upgrading to the Incra router lift with the magnetic inserts. But if I can get this to work from the top, I may just buy the inserts, rout the pattern out on my table top, glue in some magnets, and keep on using my table.
