Lars's tilting router lift for a plunge routerLars, from Sweden, sent me a link to a post of his tiling router lift on http://www.hififorum.nu/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=91794, in Swedish. His router lift is loosely based on my tilting router liftWith permission, I have copied some of the photos here and included an English translation (via Google translator). I often use Google translator, usually fixing mistakes it makes, but this time, I left the text as is, so you can see how well it works.
Inspired by Matthias Wandels website: http://www.woodgears.ca/ I thought cobble together a new molding. I've stolen a lot of Matthias ideas, but then European mills are different from American (cylindrical) has milling bracket made ??wider and a little bigger. I also wanted to have a pretty hefty stroke in the Z direction to be able to both access the changing of cutters, as well as the router table. The idea is that the tool should be adjustable in the Z direction (up and down), and also be tilted 0-45 degrees. My wish is that the router table should be independent, but must also be docked together with my table saw (to be able to use the same fence and an expanded workspace)
