So has anyone created one that I could have a gander at?

Shane I posted details of the one I made for the Triton router table about a year ago. See post 21 for details.

There have been posts of others as well so do a search and you may find an idea that suits you.

Hi Major

you seem to know what dingo is saying.......is this to lift the router up and down???

Do you need to get under the table to adjust it?

Cheers

My local woodwork club has a router table with the router mounted above an old, geared car jack. It seems to work OK.
I haven't looked close enough to see how it is stabilised.

They must make heavy routers down your way Robert.

Yeh, without spending bucket-loads of money you will have to get under the table to raise/lower the router.
I used a sholder vice bench screw when I built mine about 8 years ago. The acme thread gives VERY fine adjustment. This is the same as the veneer press clamp & about �¼ of the cost

Geared as opposed to hydraulic. Sort of rack and pinion gears. They were the cheap jacks when I was a young bloke, just after cars were invented.

I made my own by cannibalising bits and pieces. Had I seen the $10 McJing screw device, I would have bought that and just made the U bracket for under the router table.

Okay decided Im gonna have a what I will call... an alf t moment... and make one similar to what he posted on the thread linked (sorry sturdee ol son just easier! ) and pic below... since I have a couple of those jacks hanging around and a nice cast wing from the table saw that will make a perfect base for it and with a bit of this and that should end up high enough that the ol knees wont get clicking every time I need to raise it

Now next question!! {actually posted up in the router forum area)

So anyway question is where can a fella buy the on off switch?... You know the one that the router plugs into that fits to the leg or front of the stand the one that you then plug into the power and run the router from the front of the stand rather than having to reach under to turn it off and on which is bloody uncomfortable on cracking knees! along with dangerous in my view... so Im gonna get one somehow and be able to stand wind up the router with the jack setup get it right and just reach down and hit the button finish reach down and hit the off button... instead of bending feeling knee clicking out reachin under turning off router getting up clicking knee back into place... sigh its a biatch gettin on isnt it

Carbatec perth have a backlog of people who have ordered switches. I couldnt wait for them and got one from Timbecon....(this was just last saturday).

so....you may have to go back to timbecon, or order a triton one......

On the same line as "drunk"

I bought a snap adjust G Cramp from bunnies and cut most of the G away leaving the buttress thread the threaded head and part of the G.
I mounteg this on my router jig (home made) via a mortice which I glued the stub of the G into. Then drilled a hole on the lifting table so that the ball foot could wind down through it onto the pedestal plate and Bingo
Accuracy is at least to 0.1 mm
Can try to rake up some pikkies if your interested
Wish I'd seen Major Panics idea though

Pics would be much appreciated mate!
