Wife just ordered the Mast-R-lift router table pkg for me from Rockler . Can anyone tell me if this is a good set up or anything about it? Thanks.

Mast-R-lift I have one for my PC router and it works just fine! I had to make a insert so it fit into my cast iron table on the saw.. Pain in but to make the template but IT WORKS!
I for one, use it all the time (when the shop is warm enough!)
EDIT: I forgot to mention.. You owe the Wife a BIG HUG and dinner!

Oh yeah. Thats a little pricy but definately well made and if you're a guy who's gone through life up until now with phenolic inserts you'll kiss that wife's feet every time you use the thing now. Its just stupid easy to do adjustments with, and I love that it'll take a 7518 motor and put the whole shaft above the table for bit changes.
Real trucks dont have sparkplugs
That's the set up I Have been using with the 7518. Also like the master fence with the slide. I think you will be thrilled with that acquisition.
Don't know the router, but love the store. With Rockler, I can be sure I'm getting the best.
Look ma, no jigs!!!
That outfit is made for Rockler by Jessem out of Canada and it is first rate quality equipment. Anything from Jessem for their router table will fit as well. I am not sure what router you will be putting in the lift, but if you are buying a new router I would stay away from Porter-Cable anything. My tool supplier in Ann Arbor said he is not going to even carry the line when all of his stock is sold. He said Dewalt is dismantling the company tool by tool. So you never know what is going to be discontinued. John White at FWW sent out a thread saying about the same thing. He said they are dropping the 310 router, I have one and it is a sweet little trim router, best on the market, and they are dropping it.
