   AWW-March 2004 has an excellent article on a "homemade" router lift. It's next on my list of tools to build. Johnstone Supply sells a 35"X3/4" polished shaft that can be substituted for the shaft from Metals Supermarkets. The bearings are standard 3/4"I.D.X 1"O.D. flanged oilite bearings. Hoping to start on this project in fall. Already have bearings and shaft on hand. I want to use basic case from John White's router table with AWW lift. I am planning on reversing lift in the case. I want the height adjustment to be towards the front of the table , so as to not have to reach across the fence to adjust height This makes dust collection simpler too. I will probably adapt a fence system that was in either Shop Notes or Woodsmith. Maybe I'll use a modifided version of Norm's fence . John's router table was in the first Tools issue by FWW. People talk about hybrid saws, well this will be a hybrid router table.

   I made one in about 1992 or so, when I got my Uni. I still use it. It is pictured here, somewhere in the deep archives, so a search might turn it up.

   3 of them came in last month; early for Christmas rebuilds! I hope that's not a trend.
