Default Poor man Router Lift

Good day

I don't have the "normal" cabinet router table so, a little bit of imagination please.

I have the Hitachi M8 router.
On the last 2 pics, I removed the back-cover to show that the center part over the motor/rotor is blocked (same on the cover), and gluing a metal plate of 3/4"~1" will not effect the cooling airflow.
Please check your router.

Regards
niki

















On the 2 next pics, I removed the back plate of the router just to show that if you glue a small metal circle, it will not impair the cooling airflow

Good idea. I'll take it under consideration but I'm going to use a homemade crank handle.

This is a great solution, I'm looking for the same concept where the crank handle is on the top.

Hi RMaxa

I don't know if it will work "on the top" but for the side of the table, I'll give you something to think about...

Do you know this flexible shaft extensions that are used with drills...

Thanks BJ

As I replied in the other post, I have the book and I know this method.
It's just that I like it simple and without any special hardware (that I cannot find in Poland).

Hi Mike

Can't find one for 50.oo bucks do you have a link for that one ?
I did find one for 70.oo
I was thinking about get one for my wife and put it in her car, just in case thing.
It may save me a long trip just to jack up her car up, she can change the tire but getting it up to do so can be tricky for her.
