Default diy router lift

if it would work with my PC69X I came across these instructions that
seem doable.

Anybody ever try something like this?


I've been using a Router Raizer with my Makita 3612C for many years, and it's a fine
solution for turning a plunge router into a router lift, but not all routers are well-suited
to the task (and my Makita is one of them). I've come up with workarounds for the problems
(removed one of the lift springs, and drilled through the shaft casting and into the shaft
sleeves and inserted a short roll pin into each one to keep the sleeves from working their
way out of the casting). Since doing that it works fine.
