I'm just in the process of building my first router table. I've only ever used routers mounted to the table by using the fixed base of the router, never one that was mounted with a dedicated router lift.
I want to use the system for cutting dovetails (probably with the Jointech fence system). What is the benefit of using a router lift? Is it worth the $300 or so to upgrade the Jointech system to include the digital lift, or Jessum, or similar?
Thanks for any thoughts or opinions.
