Very impressed, smooth precision adjustments every time. My Bosch variable speed and Porter Cable routers fit perfectly.

The Jess Em router lift was easy to install and operates smoothly. Being able to change bits above the table is a real convenience. Micro adjustments of the bit height are easy to make. I encountered one issue which was quickly and easily remedied by a phone call to Jess Em. During my first use of the lift, I found that the bit I was using would not lower enough for the cut I wanted to make, even at its lowest setting. The Jess Em technical representative advised me to "choke up" on the motor by loosening and lowering the motor in the housing of the lift to complete the cut. He suggested that I raise the motor to its intended height in the housing after completing the cut, but I see no reason to do that as motor seems very secure at the lower setting.

Well worth the money. Well built, I use a power drill to raise and lower, so much time saving. You can set the height for bit change, very easy.

I love my Jessem Rout-R-Lift II, especially at the sale price which makes it much more affordable than other brands. And it seems to have most of the features of the more expensive ones, without sacrificing quality. I added angle irons to the extension wings on the right side of my table saw, dropped in a leveled piece of 3/4 ply, routed out its shape to 3/8" depth, added a fence with vacuum port to the right side of my table saw fence and have ended up with a great router lift system without sacrificing any real estate floor space in my shop - which I did not have! So far it has worked great with the Skil 3.5" basic router and I look forward to it being a great addition to my shop. I 1st tried the Rockler Pro Lift with the Quik gear but it froze and was unusable. The Jessem "lock" is a much more useful feature as I have heard from others that the Rockler depth would drift during a job! So I turn the crank a few more times, but no big deal. I love it.

I’m really pleased with this router lift. It was on sale at my local woodcraft store. I purchased the lift and the corner clamps and the cutout Template at the same time. I have it installed on my new out feed table for my table saw.

I have looked at router lifts for a number of years and when this JessEm lift #02310 came up for sale, I couldn't pass it up. This lift, compared to more expensive models, fits my requirements completely. It is very solid construction, very smooth operation, and has a very positive locking feature that prevents any elevation movement during repetitive cuts.

This lift replaced my first router table (Kobalt) I had attached to my Delta table saw. Needless to say it's a HUGE upgrade!! I haven't had a chance to use it much yet but what I have done with it is great! It is very, very solid; well made (Go Canada!!); reasonably priced and easy to use! I use my Skil RT1322-00 router with it & it fit like a glove! I can see this lasting me a very long time!

An excellent product with the single MAJOR flaw that it does not work with a Kreg router table. The corner holes (that hold the screws that lock down the lift table once you've gotten it flush with the router table top) do not even come close to lining up with the corner inserts in the Kreg table and what's worse, the Woodcraft web site gives no hint that that is the case, so you can buy a Kreg table and the Jessem lift, both from Woodcraft and then have them arrive and find out that they won't work together. Their tech dept. is aware of this and they tell me there is an adapter that solves the problem and they are shipping it to me free. I assume that it will arrive and will work, but still, I should not have had to go through this.
