MLCS- HT now

[Jim Becker]

Did HV Tools not set mlcswoodworking.com to forward to HVtools.com? When I type mlcswoodworking.com the request seems to disappear. When I type "hvtools.com" I get "This domain is suspended due to incomplete WhoIs verification." For a company that is primarily a mail order firm, I would hope they are aware of any connectivity issues.

No clue about how all this came about. I just noticed a while back when there was another discussion here that "things were different". It's been a couple decades since I visited them and I don't recall if I've bought anything either. Rich did just provide the correct URL.

As you have discovered, when you buy your cast iron router wing or table you have set the dimensions and corner radii of your usable plates or lifts. I agree that a lift for a larger motor with sleeves makes sense as a PC 690 can almost be used one-handed and many table tasks will exceed that motor. If you have room to grow in your lift if-and-when that time comes, you can still use the same lift. If the time never comes it is still cheap insurance to scale the lift now as opposed to fork-lifting it later.

Thanks guys, The MLCS lift needs a sleeve for small motors. Was wondering if MLCS lift is the way to go or sawstop, JessEm, etc..

Woodpecker or Jessem are the way to go.

If they will fit in the cast iron table, then they are worth considering for the various features they offer. Anything that will not fit the opening dimensions for both size, corner radius and thickness comes off your list.
