Designed for routers with 3-1⁄2-in.-dia. motors (up to 2-1⁄4 hp), this lift has all of the features and accuracy of its bigger brethren, but in a slighter package. It’s easy to install the motor, adjust bit height, and change bits. The insert rings twist into place with a spanner wrench. Once set, height and alignment were very stable. If you never plan to get a big router for your table, this is the lift to have.
