Hybrid Router Lift

Router lift that allows you to mount a router in a table and adjust the height precisely from above the table.

Features

• Above table height adjustment
• Lockable to ensure no height movement when working
• Fits all routers with a diameter up to 107 mm (Includes rings for 65 mm, 88.9 mm (3.5") and 91.8 mm)
• Easy swappable insert rings
• Removeable starting pins
• Backlash limiting spindle nut
• Round plate to make it easy to route a hole using a router circle jig
• Made in Fusion 360

Hardware

Some hardware depends on the plate thickness you use. I listed the dimensions for 15mm thick plate and added the formula for calculating the length in parentheses for the parts where that is necessary.
