Easier access to a table-mounted router

DOWELMAX HAS INTRODUCED A ROUTER LIFT that’s a big departure from traditional designs that incorporate the lift mechanism into the insert plate assembly. The Dowelmax system uses a hinged plate that attaches between your router table and its base and opens up like a car hood to gain access to the router for height adjustments and bit changes. This makes it a perfect solution for a fixed-base router that cannot be adjusted from above the table.

 

A pair of gas-spring struts hold up the table when the lift is open, and support it no matter what size router you have installed.

 

At just $150, the Dowelmax router lift is an economical alternative to traditional router lifts, especially since it can be retrofitted to your table so you can use the insert plate and router you already have in place.
