Hi, Has anyone out there installed a Router Raizer on a Porter Cable 7539? It looks like a fairly involved process. I hate the thought of drilling holes in my big beautiful router, but if it works as advertised, it sounds like a good thing. Please let me know how you guys like this product. Thanks.

Thanks Bob, I was thinking of returning the router raizer until I saw your pictures. It doesn't look too difficult now. I really appreciate your time.

Hi jcmmgm

You'er welcome,,, I said the same thing when I saw the plastic bag of parts, "what a joke, a rod and some plastic parts,,,, for 80.oo bucks ,they got to me,,," then I took my time and took a hard look at the parts, and said most of them I will not need but it can be used in many routers,,,,so if I get a new router I will have the parts I need to use it with the new router as well

It works great and not that hard to setup...in fact fun stuff to do on a cold day in the house..

The only I didn't like about the kit was the SMALL crank handle ,, so I made one just a bit bigger in dia. I just drill a hole in some hardwood the same size as the plastic one ,and with a drop of super glue I pushed it over the plastic one..

see it the pictures

Thanks again Bob, I believe I'll take your advice and make a bigger handle. It does seem to be a bit hard to use.

You'er Welcome Jim

It's not a big deal but it makes it lot easyer to use
It's a Tim Taylor (the Tool Man) upgrade so to speak ( more power/bigger ) plastic is plastic but Oak is Oak
