Has anyone bought or used a router lift that they
really like or should stay away from? Considering one for my Bosch router. Leaning towards the Bench Dog ProLift. MJ |

It's really a JessEm Rout-R-Lift in drag, but I still like it. The only fault I have with it is that it doesn't fit a "standard" table. The plate is something like 11-3/4" X 14-3/4" (rather than 9-1/4" X 11-3/4"). http://www.amazon.com/Jet-708124-XLI.../dp/B0007G8I9C |

Shapers can run 1/2" router bits.... in fact, they do so quite well. A set of cutters, the insert kind, don't have to cost an arm and a leg either. One nice thing is the induction motor of a shaper. quiet and constant speed. Usually pretty nice fence (two piece) dust collection, and a nice sturdy table.

Those huge 3.5" dia blades scare the hell out of me.
I'll stick with the router, also. Somewhat limited but more versatile. B.I.L. worked on a shaper professionally and made a vest of 1 x 2 pine, in a ribs like fashion. He tooks some ridicule for a long time until a few years later a shaper did throw a blade and it stuck in the vest. WHEW ! wrote in message ...

Considering one for my Bosch router. Leaning towards the Bench Dog ProLift. MJ Amazon.com prices: Bench Dog ProLift - $325 Triton 3-1/4-HP router with built-in lift $270 Triton 2-1/4 HP router with built-in lift $220 Check the customer reviews, Tritons get high raves. I bought the smaller router myself, it came with both 1/4 and 1/2 collets. I installed it with a Rockler aluminum router table plate, total cost still far less than the Bench Dog. The set-up is rock solid. I can now accurately adjust my router up/down in .001 increments (confirmed with a digital height gauge) in mere seconds, couldn't be easier. I also like how the Triton automatically locks and unlocks the collet when I raise and lower the router for bit changes. |

MJ The Bench Dog is an excellent lift. But condiser that for the price of a good lift you can buy a good router with the lift built in and you end up with another router. I had a large Bosch hanging under my table for about 20 years and replaced it with a Triton router about 7 years ago, it has a built in lift and works well with the Bench Dog table. |

Obviously, there is a price difference between the two, but that's not the question I'm asking. My older Triton has a fine adjust knob that you twist, it is at the top of the router but the bottom when hanging therefore it is easy to reach. The newer models allow adjustment from the top of the table. Additionally the coarse adjust knob is located on one of the handles, that too is easy to get to. Given that, most of the after market router lifts do offer a method to raise the bit a precise measured distance. I have never had the desire or the need for any type reference, I use my eyes and a test piece to determine If I am cutting in the correct location. |

Add me to that list. I have the G0453 planer (the 15" version of the 20" planer mentioned above), G0440 2HP cyclone dust collector, and the G1495 lathe. My dad has a 15" planer and dust collector (both different models than mine), a 8" jointer, a G1035 shaper, and a 14" bandsaw. No problems with any of them. -- Free bad advice available here.

To reply, eat the taco. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bbqboyee/ I guess it is personal preference for me to not like Grizzly, and I am probably unjustified in saying anything bad. I have a friend who has a couple of their shapers and a bandsaw and he says that they do ok. So I hereby backpetal on any comments about Grizzly. woodstuff |
