Rout-R-Lift

Introduced to the woodworking world in 1999 by JessEm Tool Company. The ROUT-R-LIFT has added tremendous improvement to the table-mounted router. Changing the cutting height of the bit from above the table sure beats the cumbersome act of pulling the router out or reaching under the table to make adjustments.

This innovative product works by cranking a removable handle with a hex- shaped shaft. Simply drop in the handle, crank the router up or down, pull out the handle and you're ready to go! Adjustments can be made with incredible precision - each full turn of the handle equals .05". The plate has a dial etched with .005" increments allowing you to make repeatable micro adjustments with ease. The ROUT-R-LIFT offers a full 2-1/2" of vertical travel.

Constructed of precision ground premium 6061 aluminum components and designed to stand up to daily demands of today's top cabinetmakers, furniture makers and other custom woodworking pros. The lift features our unique MAST-R-RING router mounting system with JessEm's so called "Swiss Cheese" multi-hole pattern.

We have yet to find a router that won't fit this system! Once mounted to the MAST-R-RING the router can then be rotated to the most convenient position to access your router. The insert plate centerhole is machined to accept a large 3 - 1/2" raised panel bit and includes a 1-1/2" diameter insert ring. Additional insert ring sets are available separately.

Turning the removable 3/4" solid arboron handle
with quick speed knob is all you need to do to
adjust the height of your router.

Drop it in - adjust and take it out.

 

Also new with the Rout-R-Lift™
is a new levelling system built right into your Rout-R-Lift™. Four 1/2" x 1/2" aluminum bars surrounding the Rout-R-Lift™
combined with set screws allows you to perfectly level your Rout-R-Lift™ in your table.

NEW LEVELING SYSTEM !

The main insert plate is 11-3/4" x 14-3/4" x 3/16"
solid aluminum and anodized for durability. One
revolution of the quick speed knob equals 0.050"

The router opening on the top plate without the inserts is 3-5/8".

 
NO MORE DRILLING !
Now the solid aluminum carriage plate on the Rout-R-Lift™ is predrilled for over 30 different router models. The hole patterns are layed out in the instruction manual, you just find your router make and model, mark your holes and mount your router to the Mast-R-Ring. The unique feature about the Mast-R-Ring is not only are your holes already drilled but once you place the ring back into the carriage plate you can rotate the Mast-R-Ring to the best position most convenient to you.
HOW THE ROUT-R-LIFT WORKS...
Driven by a belt-pulley
system, you can adjust
your router up to 2-1/2"
up or down.

The brass threaded tensioning nut
compensates for thread clearance
providing just enough tension on
the threads to keep the carriage
from adjusting while in use.
