Not
metal working per se but sometimes a project needs a wooden base.
A low-cost ($10)
router lift that uses a 2-ton hydraulic
bottle jack.
Since this router model is spring-loaded for plunge cuts,
setting the depth while
mounted in the table used to be tedious.
Always wear safety glasses & breathing protection.

Router Lift Jack
A self-adhering Teflon pad is on the jack point.
The jack presses against the router.
This
Dewalt router, Model DW621,
has a strongly built motor housing.
The jack lifts the router easily &
precisely to set the depth
with a gauge.
The valve & lever are easy to manipulate
by hand.
A screw holds the jack in place.

Table Locks
Since the plunge router has a strong spring, the jack
can
lift the table a little, so two latches were installed.
The table was drilled & tapped for 10-24 threads to
accept the eye of the latch.
The eye has thread lock on
it & a jam nut. The latches quickly lock & unlock for
bit changes.
They are located in-line with the bit.
Bit Changing
Bit-changing features are retained.
Note: Remember to unlock the router
itself before lifting & do not over jack.
A 2-tom hydraulic jack can easily break the weakest
points which are by design, the two low-cost side latches.
Saw Gauge
Combination
router bit & saw
height gauge.
