JessEm 02310 Rout-R-Lift II Router Lift and 02030 10-Piece Insert Ring Kit with Caddy Bundle (2 Items) – Router Table Lift System – Above Table Bit Changes – Quality Design

Built myself an outfeed/assembly table with T-track all over it and decided that I needed a router lift in one end of the table that can drop out of the way when I was assembling things and stuff. This lift by JessEm is really nice and easy to use. Now, installing it into a blank table with no hole already cut is a little challenging if you aren't up to it but if you can make yourself a template then you can get it done easily enough. You can purchase templates online but they are expensive and really a one use item unless you decide to make a new bench later on and want to move your lift. So, just make your own template, there are plenty of videos out there that show you how to do it and how to install the lift as well. I have an older Craftsman router that I'm using in it and it holds solid with no slipping issues. I can leave a bit in the router and drop it all below the surface of my work table and then just bring it up when I'm ready to use it. It locks in place simply and I've not seen any movement once it's locked. It will raise up high enough to access the spindle lock and collet nut for changing bits. And finally it just looks really nice. JessEm makes a quality product and you will have to pay for it. But in my personal opinion, it is well worth it if you spend any amount of time with your router table.

This may be the only item purchased from Amazon that I can't find anything to fault. It is an extremely well manufactured piece of equipment that works flawlessly. It holds the router motor securely. Precision height adjustments are a breeze with the supplied hex-key crank and I really like the friction lock that secures the set-up so you can work for hours without things slipping out of adjustment. I purchased the optional insert ring assortment and I like having exactly the right insert ring for the bit I'm using. I chose this unit based on the good reviews it got from a woodworker's magazine. It is the least expensive of the readily available router lifts and, IMO, that makes it an excellent value. I couldn't be more pleased.

I love this router lift! It was pretty easy to install, but I would recommend watching some youtube videos to get some ideas on how to make a template for it.... I love that it comes with the different size inserts to adjust for different bits. I made a router table, and this is the perfect addition. I have started making cabinet doors and raised panel doors which use a huge bit. This router lift made it so easy to micro adjust so I wasn't taking too much material out at once. I did realize afterwards that I needed to purchase an additional router to use since my primary router would be in the lift and I did not want to have to remove it after it was installed. Would highly recommend!

I have two lifts in my router table. This JessEm Rout-R-Lift II and a more basic Rockler lift, which is made by JessEm. This lift is very well made, accurate and does everything I need. Two big advantages with this lift over the more basic model is the locking feature and the easy to insert rings. I'd recommend buying the lift with the 10-piece insert ring kit. saves a little money and having the different sized rings is a big plus. My plan is to buy two more of these lifts and build a new 3-lift router table.

I could not find anywhere that this JessEm 02310 Rout-R-Lift II Router Lift would fit in or work with my SawStop cast iron router table (RT-TGP). I just bought it and said I'd make it work. The JessEM fits the Router table hole exactly but the mounting bolt holes do not line up at all. I was going to make brackets and do all that when I said I was just going to drill 2 new holes in the JessEM Base. Set the JessEM lift in the Router Table hole as it should be. From underneath drill up with a very small 1/8" but through the center of the cast iron Mounting holes on each side. These are the mounting holes that you would normally mount the SawStop Lift to. They are the Center holes on the left and right of the SawStop router table if you are standing at the end of the Router Table facing the saw blade. I have one pic with a screw in one of the holes that you will use. Drill just enough to mark the JessEM where you want to put the new mounting holes. Take out the JessEM and finish drilling all the way through to the front (yes you are drilling from the back side of the JessEM) with the 1/8" bit. I laid the JessEM over the hole in the Router table to do this instead of raising it on blocks. Turn over the JessEM and lay it in the Router table hole and drill the mounting holes from the front side. I used a bit just slightly larger than 1/4" so it would give some wiggle room. Now use a countersink and drill it deep enough so that the mounting screw rests below the surface plane of the JessEM. The SawStop router table has Leveling screws that come up from the bottom - use 2 of these as your JesssEM mounting screws. I did not put the SawStop leveling screws in the center left and right holes, but I did in the other holes that go around the base of the lift just because. The JessEM comes with It's own set screws to Level the JessEM from the top so use those to level the face plate of the JessEM. This leaves the large corner holes on the JessEM face where I suspect are the intended Mounting holes open. I did not like that. These holes are partially blocked by the Cast Iron recessed Plate on the SawStop router table. Rather that cut and grind the table away All I did was cut the mounting screws that came with the JessEM to a 1/4" in length, put glue on the edges that touch the surface of the JessEM and drop them in the corner holes. They cover the holes and are purely cosmetic (they will help with vacuum air leak) and no one will know but ppl that read this. The hard part about making this work was coming up with the idea to make it simple and easy to adapt the JessEM to the SawStop. Good Luck. I hope this helps.

The router lift works as advertised. Installation was straight forward. The ability to micro adjust the bit height from the top is so nice. The problem is that the hex key crank to raise and lower the router will not fit in the slot. It is the wrong size hex. I see from other reviews that this is a common problem. This seems like an odd problem that would have an easy fix. I have resorted to a standard hex key but it is shorter and not as useful as the supplied hex key crank could have been.

This is the greatest, I wish I would have spent the money years ago. This is so much better than what i had from a bigger name.
