thingiverse

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](https://a360.co/32qEmfY) ## 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. | Part | Quantity | Use | Note | |-|-|-|-| | Ø25 x 240 mm precision steel shafts | 2 | lift motion | | | SHF25 25 mm shaft supports | 2 | shaft mounting | | | LME25UU linear bearings | 4 | lift bearings | alternatively LM25UU, or igus RJ4JP-01-25 | | M16 x 204 mm threaded rod | 1 | | | | M10 x 50 mm flat head bolt | 1 | spindle | (35 mm + plate thickness) DIN7991 / ISO10642 | | M10 nut | 2 | spindle | DIN934 | | M8 x 50 mm socket head bolt | 1 | lock | (35 mm + plate thickness) DIN934 | | M8 nut | 2 | lock | DIN934 | | M6 x 25 mm socket head bolt | 2 | router clamp | DIN912 | | M6 x 12-20 mm socket head bolt | 8 | linear bearing clamp | DIN912 | | M6 x 25 mm flat head bolt | 6 | shafts, spindle | DIN7991 / ISO10642 | | M6 x 25 mm flat head bolt | 8 | plate height | (table thickness) DIN7991 / ISO10642 | | M6 x 35 mm flat head bolt | 4 | plate mount | (plate thickness + table thickness) DIN7991 / ISO10642 | | M6 x 30 mm socket head bolt | 1 | crank | DIN912 | | M6 Ruthex inserts or equivalent | 13 | | | | 6 mm spare allen key | 1 | crank | cut the short part off using an angle grinder | | Ø6 x 15 mm metal shaft | 2 | crank | press fit | | 30 mm wood screws | 8 | baseplate mount | (table thickness + plate thickness - 5) | I made a kit at Motedis for the essential parts. * [Kit with igus drylin linear ball bearings](https://www.motedis.dk/shop/create_offers_kit.php?oID=6000135) * [Kit with linear ball bearings](https://www.motedis.dk/shop/create_offers_kit.php?oID=6000136)
