1. Jessem rout-r-lift fx in a Kreg benchtop table. Any problems? 2. 2 1/4 hp routers: PC890 vs. Bosch 1617. Any preferences? Thanks, thanks. Mike

hi Mike, im not sure about the pc, i have the bosch and if you get it you wont need the lift. the bosch has above the table adjustment and so do many more. i also have a 2 1/4 hp craftsman 3 base combo that i use in my table and love it. i have an older pc 7529 and it works fine. i had it in my table originally but due to the springs in it, it was a pain to adjust.

The PC890 also has above table capabilities, but I don't use it often. It's easy enough to reach under the table for height adjustments, and pull it out of the table for bit changes.

Thanks. I was going to test out the built-in lift before buying anything else. Are there any issues with precision, accuracy, or ease of use with the built-in? It would mean using the Kreg top plate, which may not be the best. Quote:

the built in lifts work just fine. i am thinking of buying a collet extender to make changing bits easier. but the height adjustment works great. i wouldnt spend money on a lift when its built in, but thats just me.
