Default Need Router Lift Template

Turns out I bought one at a local Rockler for $9.99 and picked up the
router bit; I had a store credit burning a hole in my pocket. Router
lift is now installed.

You didn't ask for the how to but ....
I just got done mouting my Mast-r-Lift in a PM66 36" extension table. Easy
enuf to make the template by placing the lift with the top down on say 3/"8
MDF then trace the outside of the top plate. Carefully cutout with jigsaw.
Of course prior to this you need to cut the thru hole in the table. I laid
the template on the table, traced the inside then measured in 7/8" on two
sides and 3/4" in on the other two sides(check your lift demensions) then
cut out with jigsaw. Once the lift sits in the hole so the top plate sits
nicely on top of the table, place the template over it with double sided
carpet tape to hold it to the table, remove the lift and route away with a
top beaing template bit to grate the lip. Route slightly deeper than the
thickness of the
lifts topplate this will allow the lifts leveling screws to be effective.
You need
to drill seperate holes for to access the leveling screws to do this I
backed out
the screws a ways, set the lift in place and gave a good tap to each of the
4 corners this will give a nice mark where to drill the holes
BTW I bought the template, this is the second table I've needed it and there
will be atleast one more so its a keeper. Rockler inTorrance has the
template for like $12

om...
I have a Jessem router lift used in the Powermatic TS, but alas no
template to help make the hole in the table. I'm betting there is
someone out there who has one and no longer needs it. I live in Los
Angeles and am willing to fetch if local.

Thanks,
