Do any of you have thoughts on any of the “Router Raisers” on the market today. I want to purchase one but have seen none in person. Thanks

Curt - There are several good lifts on the market. I personally prefer the Bench Dog Ni28; however, it is specifically designed for the PC 7518 router. An adapter is available for other routers, and they also make an aluminum version which is lighter and cheaper. The Ni28 is cast iron and quite heavy. It requires a sturdy table. What type of router do you have, and what kind of table are you going to put it in?

Seems like there have been 2 or 3 threads on this topic in the last few months. Here one link from an Advanced Search on "router lifts":

Curt,
I also have the Bench Dog Ni28 and it is a fine piece of equipment. I highly recommend it. It got good reviews on an issue of FWW. Not cheap by any stretch of the imagination but worth every penny.
