A cast-iron plate, accurate height adjustments, and a stout lift mechanism make this a great router lift. The crank handle is a speed wrench, which is nicer than the handles on the other lifts, but there was too much play in it during use.
Fine Woodworking Recommended Products
Sawstop Miter Gauge
It has a toothed angle-setting rack that is extremely solid, accurate, and easy to use, and it offers all of the features I love in a miter gauge, including the ability to add an auxiliary wood fence, and a flip-stop that will accommodate it.
Veritas Wheel Marking Gauge
A wheel-type gauge is the easiest to use, and this wonderful Veritas model is a steal at $38.
Double Sided Tape
A thin woven core makes XFasten tape strong yet not too thick (0.008 in.), and helps it hold powerfully without being difficult to peel off.
