For the people with the negative comments......At least the guy made a lift and showed it to us. If you can do better, by all means, prove it. And if you dislike the music he provided, my answer is "TURN THE VOLUME DOWN STUPID!"
I have a home built router table, but you've inspired me to upgrade with this lift, or something very similar. (Like all home made jobs, I'll need to get under it to remember how it fits together!) Thank you!
Boy, every time I watch one of the "simple", "easy", "quick", videos, it makes me realize just how inept I am at this discipline. It ain't from lack of wanting to be, I can assure. 👍
Really liked this, as many others have said if only I had thought of/done this myself. I loved the way that unlike most of polished unachievable sub-mm perfect woodwork we see portrayed on utube I could see the same tools/methods and techniques I would use myself with all the same niggily wee (entirely understandable) errors. Ok I'd make many more!!
I'll be making one of these next because my attempt at the Woodsmith router lift was a total disaster. I will probably just use threaded rod and weld a hex nut to the end instead of the method you've demonstrated here.
I am amazed at this video, Thank you. Do you have plans for this ... I realise much of the measurements would vary due to the type/brand of router that is used, but perhaps the measurements that you used could be a guide to those of us too lazy/unable ( ..😉) ...
Great video. It is so simple. I just was floored how you joined the bolt and the threaded rod. Never thought of doing that.. do you think a coupling nut would have worked without cutting bolt/rod ? Thanks buddy
How do you know the angle of the nuts being put together at 5:44 so that the bolt/threaded rod will engage the threads in both nuts correctly? There are some nice ideas here 👍
Just cut them, in one round it will fit anyway, maybe with a little space in between but far from generating too much space for making it work… so basically the answer is, take any angle but make sure you apply it on both side. It will make it !
I made this mistake once and the rod got always heavy to rotate until it, finally, damaged the screw thread and I had to redo the solution. Now I just use one nut only.
Creo que el corte del tornillo en forma diagonal para levantar o bajar el Reuter es innecesaria con solo poner una arandela de presión entre ambas tuercas y socarlas bien, sería más que suficiente, por lo demás esta muy buena la idea, Felicitaciones.
Are there any plans for this router lift please and thank you ❤

Props for making this lift. But I would use the threaded rod from a vice not those ones. They aren't meant to be used that way. In a while you have to replace it because of tread wear.
I drilled all the holes through the table cover. I did not capture the moment of drilling the hole on the camera. take a closer look at the video from 4:44. it will become clear to you. when you make all the details, you will understand where you need to drill a hole. I don't know how else to explain to you because English is not my native language.
6.59 looks like 45 angles, I have been wondering how/what's the best way of joining these parts together without any wielding kit. But l would have used Studding Connectors to join them together
Nice build and you should be proud of it. In my opinion, woodworkers get a little too carried away with the whole "build it yourself" thing. After all, one has to ask, how much is a woodworker's time worth? When I watch video's like this, my first thought is...not much.
Beretta Fan, you should take into account where this fellow is located. They can’t just run to the big box store for supplies. I applaud his ingenuity making a working solution. Well done!
Thanks for the comment! Unfortunately, there is no. But in the future I will modernize it. Then I will make plans. Enter the channel. Stay tuned for updates.
If you're going to adjust with an and Allen key then cut her off and put a handle on it like a screwdriver, it made much easier to use and to make adjustments.
Дякую! Якщо його використовувати для зняття фаски, то справляється чудово. Ставив 20мм обгонну фрезу, що йде в комплекті, якщо без фанатизма, теж справляється. Але з 30-40мм обгонною фрезою мабуть йому вже буде важкувато.
@sarayka7809 ah damn it no worries I'm a beginner and want to make something like this I've found a few videos but carnt seem to get any plans or parts lists 😩
It is a good idea, don't get me wrong, but why don't you use one long 6"-7" screw with 2"_ 3" threaded area instead of a screw with threaded rod, join them together, complicating it, all the travel distance you need is the length of the cutting lip area of the tool max. 2" of travel, plus, I think the accuracy is iffy.
I did not have such a screw. I have been using it for 6 months, the accuracy is good. If the plywood gets damaged in the future, I will insert t-tracks. In the future, I would like to improve this lift. Thanks for coment !
Although all the adjustment you need for working is the inch or two of cutting edge, it's nice to have some extra lift so that that the shank is more exposed to make it easier to change bits. But I agree, it seems like a long hex bolt would have been simpler. Home Depot and Lowe's carry them for just a couple of bucks each, even a foot or more long.
I'm not so sure that's a valid critizing point you make If there is availability in your neighbourhood then sure go out and buy an engineering screw - end of- Lots of watchers in other parts of the world do not have such simple access to long engineering screws or they are difficult to obtain it's helpful also to see this tip of creating an extended screw for other applications as well a May I take this opportunity to say the router lift as made is an engineering marvel especially as pains seem to have been taken to make the construction accessable for people with simple tools.
@@alfredomarquez9777 Look at the nut that holds the diagonally sawn screw. And this is the only support for a wildly rotating router. Is it not obvious?
Another "specialist" instructing others in the art of very serious accidents. DON'T FOLLOW HIS table saw "techniques". This is one sure way to lose a finger or fingers.
