Thread: router lift for OF 2000-????

check these guys out i think the one they sell will do festool check there web site out

i have already checked with these companies. when i called woodpecker they said "fez what". i already own a phenolic plate from peckers, although i had to buy a blank model and drill it out myself for the of2000. what gets me is they make one to fit a crap router like a freud that costs one third of the lift, and other routers that have way too weak of a motor to be fitting under a dedicated table. go figure.


if anyone needs to talk to me, i'll be under my router table busting my knuckles.

If you can find a lift that fits the Mafell LO65e, it should also fit your festool 2000
They are almost the same machine.
Cheers!

Hi,

You should try Roger at Wood Workers Workshop, he sells both the UniLIFT (Woodpeckers) and the Router Raizer and also sell Festo products so he should be able to advise.

I hope that this helps.

Saw a guy on Eagle Lake Woodworking demo one he had made was driven by a small cordless drill direct wired to a switch,with a foot pedal control which left both hands free to feed your work.Google Eagle Lake Woodworking should find him.Maybe some Aussie genius can come up with something similar?

HAve you considered the Festool CMS?

Thanks for the honorable mention Pheonix!
It is on this forum where I was given some great advice and guidience when I made the first prototype for the Motorized router lift.

The device has proven to be a great addition to my shop - it really changes what you can do on the router table.

I am currently working with a company to bring a universal version of the device to market. The new design will house round body router motors (like the PC 690 type).

There's a few videos of the motorized router lift in action, but one in particular showcases it pretty well:

Thanks again for the mention.
