Looking good. Clever solution for levelling. A truly cunning plan. A Baldrick reference and a what could go wrong in 1 video which reminds me of old school Top Gear🙂
Hi JP - many thanks for the video. It was interesting to watch because only last month I made a router table and fitted the same lift attachment and fence from Banggood. (i have the dewalt router). I had a number of similar issues - made a router error when cutting t track slots - my clumsiness but the mistake is cosmetic only. My top was about 26mm thick so I decided to buy some longer bolts and when mounting the plate I made the same mistake and initially put the levelling screws in from underneath. A couple of days later when I was struggling to level the plate , the mistake dawned on me !!. I have made several purchases from Banggood and been delighted with quality but lack of instructions sometimes a problem . UA-cam comes in useful to see what others have done. Your comment about the plate being a tight fit is interesting because Dennis from the Hooked on Wood channel thought his adhesive template was slightly loose- maybe they have resized it . I continue to enjoy your channel - keep up the good work. Regards
Hi John. We are all allowed a faux pas every now and again as long that it’s just the wood that is hurt! Not seen Dennis’ video but it’s interesting about the jig. Thanks for the view and comment. Regards JP
hi great video i just bought the same router table lift & fence, i was wandering how to level the table lol.... thanks for a more in depth video best i've seem on youtube to date 👌👍
Hey JP great vid again. Really liked how you used feet under the top surface to dial in the height to match the saw. I think I will now make something similar for my Bosch table saw. I think I will make the router section wide enough to allow a Bosch AdvancedVac 20 to fit under which can work for the two items on the cart. I built two of these Vacs into my main Workbench. They are great and you plug in your tools to these and they automatically power on and off when the tools start/stop. I did consider using blastgates and pipes to split one Vac but all these parts add up and the Bosch Vac when on special on Amazon cost me €92. Also whenever you move the cart you take the dust extraction with you. Maybe something to consider on Cart V3.0. The nick you made with your router is there to remind you every time you use the router to be careful. Better to nick some wood than your finger.
YES!! Great video! i've been looking for some guidance on install since buying the enjoywood lift.. I like that you made the top removable, at first wasn't sure of the purpose, but after seeing the ease of access, it made sense. Going to check out how you installed the fence tracks.. Oh yea, what lights do you have mounted above, they seem to flush out any dark areas in the shop.. Many thanks again!
I bought the same router lift having watched your video. I am having a problem with 'depth wandering'. The router vibration causes the thread to slowly unwind as wood is fed through. Any idea how to cure this? I have tried tightening the two grub screws but this makes it difficult to raise and lower the router.
Morning Robert, sorry to hear you have an issue. I have not experienced an issue but I have seen the two grub screws. I have some routering to do tomorrow when I am back in the workshop. Can I come back to you then once I have had a look at the mechanism? Regards JP
Hi. I’ve just rebated a batch of timber on mine. my screws are set fairly tight although I can raise / lower with one hand. no issue with the cutter unwinding. Regards JP
Hello! I saw that you have the diameter of your router is 65mm. What is exactly the name of your Makita router? I am going to order exactly this router lift and I want to buy a router that fits. Its hard to se on manufactures sites exactly the diameter of the router. Greetings from Sweden

Glad I could help! Regards JP
JP's Small Barn Fine Workshop Furniture and Sawdust Emporium. Nice build. ICR to the clumsy slip with a power tool. Take care & stay safe all.
Thanks Doug. Whats does ICR mean? Regards JP
@@Smallbarnworkshop I Can Relate. I've had to touch up or make into design features a few whoops moments.
Thanks. I’m obviously not down with the kids for such acronyms 😂
Brilliant JP, that lift looks like a quality bit of kit for the price 👍
Hi Chewie. Yes, I am very pleased with it. Regards JP
Excellent work, I have enjoyed seeing your working process. I learned a lot. Thanks so much!!
Thank you. Regards JP

Hi Gary, great point about the router nick! You’ve got me thinking about V3.0 now 😂Regards JP

Hi Drew. Thank you. The lights are 40w LED that I bough from eBay a few years ago. They were relatively inexpensive, maybe about £12 each. Regards JP
Happy routering! 😁👍
Router base is coming on well JC, it’s a shame about the nick out of the top but it’s nothing really. Thanks for the video.👍👍
Hi Terry. I’m pleased with the overall build, annoyed by my faux pas! Regards JP

Looking very good, didn’t get the adjustable feet to start with 🤪😂.
Hi, Thank you. Maybe I went off on a tangent? Regards JP
