Around the holidays I bought my first router lift. It replaced a Rousseau plate I had used in a table saw extension with my DEWALT DW 625 since the 90s. Here is the new setup.
.
The Rousseau and Woodpecker plates are different sizes. Fortunately the Woodpecker lift is larger in at least one dimension. I was able to enlarge the hole to fit, drop it in and get to work.
I made my own router plate template by first using the lift plate itself as a template. I then tested the template in scrap to make sure it worked well, then used it in enlarge the hole in my existing table saw extension, and soon I use it again to make the opening in a new and larger extension.
After some initial headaches with the lift that required weeks to work through with the manufacturer, I am now one happy router (camper). The result is now a lift that works as sweet as one could hope. And boy is it fast and accurate. I expect this to last until I can no longer work with wood.
If any of you PRL V2 lift owners have issues with your calibration ring not rotating accurately as you turn the fine-adjust thumb wheel, let me know. I may have a simple fix for you.
