I purchased an Hitachi 3hp router many moons ago, and have been using it
with a home build router table that has server me well. Some of the
negative
attributes have been bit changes on the router, and no variable speed.

The router died over this weekend. Will replace it with a new router, yet
to
be determined.

I'd really like to know your thoughts and experiences with router-lift
systems, and routers that work well with these systems. I'm tempted to
just
replace the router, and be done with it, but from what I've read, the
router
lift systems may we worth looking at.

Any thoughts that you can share?

thanks,

Built my own using a 1" dowel and a knob. Cost about $1.50 and works fine.
Of course, my router table is accessible from the front without removing the
router ( Hitachi M12V). In a closed table, might be more cumbersome. I
really like all the gadgets but sometimes it gets to be a bit much.

Just MHO,
