One gentleman mentioned that router lifts will one day be history. I agree to a point. However, hopefully, within the next year or so a motorized electronic router lift will be on the market that will replace the current generation of manually operated lifts.
This new lift is so simple and so accurate that we'll all wonder why it wasn't offered years ago! It will have a toggle switch for reversing the travel, variable speed control on the lift mechanism, over 4 inches of vertical travel for above the table bit changes and can be operated either with a front mounted height adjustment switch or a foot pedal switch. It will also have a digital read out on the lift itself and a remote readout above the table accurate to .0001 thousandths of an inch.
I'm excited about this new motorized router lift! I'm itiching to get mine as soon as it becomes available.
