You can never have enough routers. And if they all go up and down thats even better.
If you have the space to keep both, then thats what you must do.

@Seldonman.Hi Jim,hope you bought your new toys at a good price.No matter what you paid you sound very happy & you can tell us how much if you want to.But follow Sunnybobs advice & keep them. JamesjjHello Everyone,
I intend to be a more faithful follower and contributor to Router Forums since as of the first of this month I am officially retired. The week I retired a lady at church told me another member was selling his house and moving to a town house and he had some woodworking tools that he wanted to sell. Well, to make a long story short I bought his Jet Cabinet saw with 92 inch Incra rails and the LS-II fence plus the Miter 5000 cross cutting sled. The extension table on the saw has a Jessum router lift and I just ordered and received the INCRA scales for the fence. Question, I currently have a Rockler router table with an INCRA Lift. Is the router table now redundant, that is, is there a reason to have two router tables with lifts? I definitely intent to use the INCRA Fence for making box joints and dove tail joints on the table saw extension table but can't think of a reason I would need the Rockler. Any thoughts would be appreciated as always.
Jim
I agree with Nick on this one. I have a tablesaw router setup I use most of the time but I have used my other router table setup when I have a project using different profiles so I don't have to keep changing bits. It also comes down to space. If you have room for both, keep both. You won't regret it. My shop is my shared 2 car garage. My second setup is just a router table top that I sit on some saw horses when I need it. The lack of space is what pushed me into the saw extension router wing.It's against the law to reduce redundant woodworking tool inventory...Ref: "Book of Things", Ch. 14, pp 542-544
Congrats...nice score...
You will find that some projects will force you to break down, change bits, only to set the original bit again...suggest you keep them both until one collects dust...
Huh! Don't router tables normally collect dust? :wink:>It's against the law to reduce redundant woodworking tool inventory...Ref: "Book of Things", Ch. 14, pp 542-544

Exactly...when they measure garages in terms of x-car-garage, it only refers to a unit of measure approximating 5'x16'...it is a common unit of measure used to develop the amount of tools that can be placed in that space. For example, a two-car-garage actually provides 4 units of measure in equivalent space. This maximizes the amount of tools that can be placed in the same space to approximately double had square footage been used as a measure instead...Yes, what was I thinking, it is against the law to get rid of tools. Problem is is that I am having trouble getting my new car into the garage. But on second thought a car is not a tool so it does not belong in the garage, right!
