But you could call the one you made a horz. table also , by the way very nice

I should like to see some shots of things that can be done with this type of table.

Hi Lee

That's looks better

, how do you move the router up and down it's hard to see in the picture ???

Lee Brubaker · 06-26-2007, 11:01 PM

Actually there is a crank at both top corners....the lefthand one is hard to pick out & that is the one I use the most....especially for final fine adjustments.

Hey Harry

They also can put in round Dowel Pins holes

quick and easy , no fuss no muss just add a stop block with some plywood that's clamped to the top and push the stock in and your done,,,

I use a tee-slot for the stop block on the one I have.. plus no rubber ruler needed to set up the hole(s) the Horz. table will set them up...

They will come right out on the button on both parts of the joint...

Thanks for the thought Bj, but dowelling with the Nikilift* is so quick, simple and no measurements are involved, it's a bit like biscuit jointing, only freehand pencil lines are needed.

* The Nikilift is a simple mechanism for raising the router using a foot pedal and was devised by Niki in Poland, I'm sure he or someone else will post the relevant link.

Hi Harry

You ask what the Horz. table could do :

I have a question for you about the Nikilift,,,,most plunge/hand base routers have a lock on them to keep the router in the motor base case and keep it true, what did you do to get around this

if it's locked in place do you lift the router and the base plate at the same time

,, ? if it's not locked in place and the bit gets jamed and you try and drop in down ,what do you do ?
pry the stock of the bit ? ....

Just asking..

Bj

Bj, the only router that I have owned that remains locked unless the lever is held, was a Bosch which also had other "features" that I didn't like, hence the reason for selling it. The Makita and my new Triton can be left unlocked, therefore can be raised with the foot operated Nikilift and the plunge limit pre-set, or simply raised to the required height with the pedal and locked in this position. The Triton, once set to approx. height then has a micro adjuster for accurate height then locked. For table use it really is a fabulous machine.
