Thread: Router Raizer

I haven't used them but instead made my own to fit a Triton Router table - total cost for parts $ 10. - winds the router up or down from below the table.

Sturdee

Post a pic of it for us to see.

Like Sturdee
I made my own from a Holden scissors type jack fitted under the table. Where the hook in the handle was,I fitted a plastic wheel with a rubber tyre to raise or lower the router. I use it with my Incra and it is as good as a bought one. Cost about as much as Sturdee's did.

Give us a look!

Just got the digital pictures emailed back so when I get the knowledge of how to send them off I will forward them on.

Derek,

I'll be taking some photos tomorrow and when developed I'll post them for you.
It will also show the brackets I made to fit the Triton sliding extension table to my router table.

This is my H/M raizer

Alf.

That is a FANTASTIC idea. I love this forum!

Alf

Great job.

How do you change bits? Do you remove the router from the top? Is the router just resting on the jack, or it it connected?

The wheel should would well for tiny increments. What about moving it by large amounts? Did you consider using a L-handle?

Impressed.

Derek,
Changing bits is a bit of a down side , I just wind the jack down to its base and do it under the table. I only have a small hole 3/4in at the top. (the size recommended by Incra) otherwise I could raise it enough to fit bits fron the top. I also removed the handles from the router to give me more height.
It is quite adequate for what I make. If I get a bigger shed I would like to make bigger things so I will probably make an insert that removes easily from the top of the table.

2.I modified the top of the jack so it fitted the router snugly.

Alf

PS. sorry about the size of the picture. As the man said " I've cut this wood twice and i'ts still too bloody short!!"

Come on Sturdee

Got those foto's yet?

I've got the Triton in a Triton Table so I'd like to see how you do it. It's breaking my back getting underneath to adjust every time

Mind I guess your device only operates the fine adjust as the raizer does. Having seen the blurb on it though - Gregories want $188 for it!! - think a bone cracker is cheaper!!!!!

Barnsey,

I took the photos yesterday and sent them out for developing. Will have them back on Monday and then I'll have to con my daughter to scan them from her scanner into my computer.

I don't have a digital camera ( I prefer to spend spare cash on tools rather than new cameras ) so please be patient.

BTW it not only does fine adjustment but I also use it to completely lower the router bits below the table.

Peter

As promised here are the photos. This one shows the height winder and brackets to connect a sliding table. The view is across the extension tables of my workcentre.

This is a close up.

Basically it is a cradle fixed to a threaded rod in which the router fits with a handle at the bottom.
It is secured to the table with the crosspiece into which a nut is affixed. The cross piece is connected lenghtways so that it does not interfere with the folding legs of the table.
