- Hi ! I show you how to make the Easiest and Cheapest Router Lift ( Router Lifting Attachmen ) from plywood . Thanks for watching !
DIY . Woodworking .
For the people with the negative comments......At least the guy made a lift and showed it to us. If you can do better, by all means, prove it. And if you dislike the music he provided, my answer is "TURN THE VOLUME DOWN STUPID!"
I like the trick of cutting the threaded rod at an angle. Very clever.
I have a home built router table, but you've inspired me to upgrade with this lift, or something very similar. (Like all home made jobs, I'll need to get under it to remember how it fits together!) Thank you!
Boy, every time I watch one of the "simple", "easy", "quick", videos, it makes me realize just how inept I am at this discipline. It ain't from lack of wanting to be, I can assure. 👍
The lead screw scarf joint held fast by two nuts was kinda clever. I hope you put some thread locker on it though.
I hope as I grow in this craft that I become as resourceful as you demonstrated in this build. Nice work.
Nice. I made one a year ago that was much more expensive but doesn’t do anything better than yours. Nice work.
A good idea. Captivating simplicity of materials and manufacturing itself. Thank you.
I've been in the market for a router lift. This video is super helpful! I'm just going to build my own now! Thanks!
You welcome!
Really liked this, as many others have said if only I had thought of/done this myself. I loved the way that unlike most of polished unachievable sub-mm perfect woodwork we see portrayed on utube I could see the same tools/methods and techniques I would use myself with all the same niggily wee (entirely understandable) errors. Ok I'd make many more!!
Love it
I'll be making one of these next because my attempt at the Woodsmith router lift was a total disaster. I will probably just use threaded rod and weld a hex nut to the end instead of the method you've demonstrated here.
You're q magician. Well done
Great job, learn a lot from you Thanks
Nice work , great idea I love it
Well done. Thank you.
wow! neat!!!!
Excelente...muito criativo e prático...PARABÉNS...Estarei COPIANDO com muito GOSTO...Grato...Abraços...👋👋👋🙏🙏🙏
Obrigado pelo ótimo comentário. Estou muito satisfeito . Bons comentários me ajudam a criar algo novo.
Really good!
Props for making this lift. But I would use the threaded rod from a vice not those ones. They aren't meant to be used that way. In a while you have to replace it because of tread wear.
Great, I’ll make mine soon as I just received the exact same router 😂
I am amazed at this video, Thank you. Do you have plans for this ... I realise much of the measurements would vary due to the type/brand of router that is used, but perhaps the measurements that you used could be a guide to those of us too lazy/unable ( ..😉) ...
Thank you. Check out my latest video. There is a link to the drawing in the description.
So, what is the purpose of angle cutting the threaded rod?
Nice idea...
Es formidable
Excellent ❤.
Are your plans available? If so where?
Nice
Great video. It is so simple. I just was floored how you joined the bolt and the threaded rod. Never thought of doing that.. do you think a coupling nut would have worked without cutting bolt/rod ? Thanks buddy
Thanks for the nice comment! I think that such a nut is suitable. You just need to twist the threaded rod with pliers . Have a nice day !
@@sarayka7809 i mean to use the coupling nut to join the threaded rod to socket cap screw. Just love your design. You should make and sell kits.
@@Britineeng OK . Thanks !
Не повірив, коли побачив дніпро-м. Вітання )
Привіт , земляче ))))
This is a great set up. Nice and clean Do you have plans for this router table? It seems to fit with what I need.
Thank you ! Maybe in the future I will make a band saw. Have a Nice Day !
How do you know the angle of the nuts being put together at 5:44 so that the bolt/threaded rod will engage the threads in both nuts correctly?
There are some nice ideas here 👍
Just cut them, in one round it will fit anyway, maybe with a little space in between but far from generating too much space for making it work… so basically the answer is, take any angle but make sure you apply it on both side. It will make it !
You can also just get a coupler nut they are cheap.
I made this mistake once and the rod got always heavy to rotate until it, finally, damaged the screw thread and I had to redo the solution. Now I just use one nut only.
@@MarcosBaldinmy wife told me the same thing. 😂
Nice build and you should be proud of it. In my opinion, woodworkers get a little too carried away with the whole "build it yourself" thing. After all, one has to ask, how much is a woodworker's time worth? When I watch video's like this, my first thought is...not much.
Beretta Fan, you should take into account where this fellow is located. They can’t just run to the big box store for supplies.
I applaud his ingenuity making a working solution. Well done!
Cheapest, maybe. But easiest? You've gotta be kidding me.
Amen
Cheap ??? Have you recently priced decent quality plywood ???
If you're going to adjust with an and Allen key then cut her off and put a handle on it like a screwdriver, it made much easier to use and to make adjustments.
Nice idea
@@sarayka7809 I have for years cut the "L" off the allen wrenches, and stuck them in a drill to do things faster
how did you determine the angle for the threaded rod and socket cap head screw?
I drilled all the holes through the table cover. I did not capture the moment of drilling the hole on the camera. take a closer look at the video from 4:44. it will become clear to you. when you make all the details, you will understand where you need to drill a hole. I don't know how else to explain to you because English is not my native language.
6.59 looks like 45 angles, I have been wondering how/what's the best way of joining these parts together without any wielding kit. But l would have used Studding Connectors to join them together
They sell longer “nuts” that you can use to join the threaded rod and bolt. They are called sleeves.
дуже гарно! у Дніпро м достатньо потужності, оберти не просідоють? хочу придбати такий, як раз для таких задач
Дякую! Якщо його використовувати для зняття фаски, то справляється чудово. Ставив 20мм обгонну фрезу, що йде в комплекті, якщо без фанатизма, теж справляється. Але з 30-40мм обгонною фрезою мабуть йому вже буде важкувато.
дякую за відповідь!
This thing is cool! Do you have drawings/plans for it?
Thanks for the comment! Unfortunately, there is no. But in the future I will modernize it. Then I will make plans. Enter the channel. Stay tuned for updates.
What kind of blue tape do you use?
This tape is needed so that the router does not fall down, because it slides down. It is better to glue a thin piece of rubber.
I like that so cool do you have plans?
Thanks ! I have no
Do u have a cut list or any plans for this please 🙏
Do not have, sorry .
@sarayka7809 ah damn it no worries I'm a beginner and want to make something like this I've found a few videos but carnt seem to get any plans or parts lists 😩
This is fine as long as you don't care about accuracy.
Do you have a cut list for this?
Unfortunately no . But soon I plan to improve my lift and then I will make a plan.
That's great thanks. Unfortunately I have to make a lift ASAP. I really like your design Good luck with the new build@@sarayka7809
It is a good idea, don't get me wrong, but why don't you use one long 6"-7" screw with 2"_ 3" threaded area instead of a screw with threaded rod, join them together, complicating it, all the travel distance you need is the length of the cutting lip area of the tool max. 2" of travel, plus, I think the accuracy is iffy.
I did not have such a screw. I have been using it for 6 months, the accuracy is good. If the plywood gets damaged in the future, I will insert t-tracks. In the future, I would like to improve this lift. Thanks for coment !
Although all the adjustment you need for working is the inch or two of cutting edge, it's nice to have some extra lift so that that the shank is more exposed to make it easier to change bits. But I agree, it seems like a long hex bolt would have been simpler. Home Depot and Lowe's carry them for just a couple of bucks each, even a foot or more long.
I'm not so sure that's a valid critizing point you make
If there is availability in your neighbourhood then sure go out and buy an engineering screw - end of-
Lots of watchers in other parts of the world do not have such simple access to long engineering screws or they are difficult to obtain it's helpful also to see this tip of creating an extended screw for other applications as well a
May I take this opportunity to say the router lift as made is an engineering marvel especially as pains seem to have been taken to make the construction accessable for people with simple tools.
Terribly dangerous design. Darwin Award.
EXPLAIN WHY... or shut up!
@@alfredomarquez9777 Look at the nut that holds the diagonally sawn screw. And this is the only support for a wildly rotating router. Is it not obvious?
Do you have some own good projects?
I just agree with nut. Much easy use long scrue bar..
That is a lot of fandango.
А я не понял зачем болты срезались под конус 😢
У меня не было под руками соединительной длинной гайки. Пришлось изобретать.
Couldn’t watch music drove me away
Music is annoying
But, but . . . it's a simple solution. How is anyone supposed to use this idea to make monstrously overpriced woodworking accessories? Oh! Never mind.
Ideas are cool but the videos are hard to watch. Music stinks.
Why do youtubers put shitty music on their videos?!
Couldn’t watch with the annoying music, gave up at 30 seconds .
No volume control on your computer?
Ridiculous
Very informative and thoroughly USELESS video.
No plans, no cut sheet, no link on WHERE to get info on how to make it?
Another "specialist" instructing others in the art of very serious accidents. DON'T FOLLOW HIS table saw "techniques". This is one sure way to lose a finger or fingers.
