Mast-R-Lift II - Now Accepts 18 Different Routers, From 8 Different Mfg's!

Gone are the days of having to purchase separate router pads to accommodate your specific router when using a lift. The JessEm Mast-R-Lift II router lift now accepts 18 different router motors straight out of the box, the ultimate convenience. JessEm have kept all of the great features of the previous Mast-R-Lift, but updated the design to include several new key features. Make bit changes and height adjustments with a simple twist of the convenient speed crank, from above the table! The Mast-R-Lift II is built for long-term use and is designed specifically for the Porter Cable 7518 router. The heavy duty aluminum insert plate measures 8-1/4" x 11-3/4" x 3/8" thick and is precision CNC machined to guarantee flatness. The handle of the speed crank raises and lowers the bit a total of 3-3/4" with 1/16" resolution per rotation with adjustments as fine as .002" possible. The plate features a 3-5/8" diameter center hole that will accommodate even the largest raised panel router bits.
