Thread: SawStop Router Table wing coming soon

The router option does look good but what worries me is compatability of the router lift with routers available here.

cheers

I will say right at the outset that I haven't made any purchase yet, but am doing a bucketload of research in preparation of buying the Professional SawStop, and 52" Incra TS-LS Joinery system. This system allows the mounting of a router table to the right of the saw table. I am fairly sure that if you had the right length SawStop rails, you could also mount a router table to these rails - someone please correct me if I am wrong!

In terms of a router lift, I went many times around in circles doing research on this - it was easy to find a lift in the USA, but it would mostly only take USA made routers. No good to us here, then I thought about getting one shipped over, and buying a local 240V to 110V converter - it would work, but wind up being crazy expensive. Then I found a couple of "motor only" "routers" that would work in the Incra router lift (ping me by PM for info if you need, I still have them bookmarked).

Then, I found an Australian router lift that would fit in a Euro or USA size router table - it's available from Timbecon: https://www.timbecon.com.au/routing/...mounting-plate

And after doing all that research, and chasing around... I found out the Triton TRA001 router (it's nice because 2400W means never wanting more power) doesn't even need a lift, and you can just mount it under a normal router plate... saving hundreds on a lift. If you're super lazy, you can get something like: Triton Router 2" Crank "Extension" Only | eBay for it.

Caveat: I haven't made my purchases yet, I've only done the research, and have yet to confirm it all with people "in the know" - I have many other useful bookmarks when it comes to router lifts and router tables in table saw rails, so if you need more links, happy to shoot them to you

I havent used the winder handle for my Triton for over a year. I find it easier to use the built in micro winder
on the router even though it's in a table behind a door. I have to lock the plunger when I adjust the height and their beside each other. To stop the micro winder winding down you have to give it a bit of a nip up after locking the plunger anyway.
