KREGPRS5000 Precision Router Lift - Router Table Lift System - Durable Router Plate Insert - Router Table Plate Insert - For Quick, Accurate, Reliable & Repeatable Setups

I just bought this in anticipation of getting a larger and more powerful router motor for my table. The problem was that I was not yet ready to upgrade the motor and wanted something with which I could continue to use my Porter-Cable 890 series until I made a decision as to what to replace it with. Other lifts in this price range could do this for me with the additional purchase of adapter blocks or rings. This unit accepts a wide range of sizes without the need to buy anything extra. I can use it with my present motor and when I upgrade, I can remove the lift, remove four screw pins, move the clamp blocks to different settings and I will be good to go in about ten minutes. The quality of the build is what I would expect from Kreg. Very smooth and solid. The only quibble I have is the plastic wrench provided for changing inserts seems a bit flimsy.One other thing to note is that there is no provision for leveling the lift plate from the top. It is designed to be use with Kreg plate levelers which are installed on the bottom of the table in the corners of the cutout. Not a deal killer, as they are less than twenty bucks and install very easily. The downside to this system is that one has to remove/replace the lift multiple times to adjust the set screws to get the plate exactly flush with the table OR you can leave the lift in the table and work upside down under the table and throw your neck out doing it. Fortunately, you only have to do it once.

I ordered this as an amazon return and when received it was missing one of the inserts. This unit is supposed to have three and there was only two in the box. After speaking to a friend who works for Amazon the reason became clear, when Amazon receives returned products the person reviewing simply refers to the Amazon pictures to confirm all parts are received, since the pics only show 2 they assumed it was complete, not the case. I contacted Amazon CS and was informed they could not supply the individual part, but would certainly issue a full refund and return authorization. I contacted Kreg directly and explaining the problem and was very pleasantly surprised when they resounded to my email stating they would ship out the missing item immediately at no charge, that is great customer service. I was already a big fan of Kreg products having several in my shop but I am now a customer for life. Thank you Kreg.To review the actual product, I purchased this to use with a Ridgid R22002 router, the fit was not noted in the guide but worked without issue on the #6 holiest. The installation is quite simply using a pattern bit to rout the releif in your router table, the lift is extremely accurate and the lock feature works great holding the bit height firm while routing. I selected this unit over the Jessem due to the aluminum plate over the phenolic Jessem. I have since purchased the larger insert ring set and can confirm the insert rings lock in securely and are flush with the plate.

Lockable, easy to assemble quality good , functional , design good, dust collection perfect

When I first thought about purchasing this item, I was thinking wow this seems expensive, I already have the Kreg table and standard insert. I knew I needed to upgrade but had to think hard about spending the money. I examined the documentation and router compatibility list and see my router was not on the list. I have an older Ryobi and no variable speeds. I knew I would also need a new router to fit. I bit the bullet and purchased the Dewalt router and the Kreg router lift. It arrived and after inspection I knew it was worth the money, it is very well constructed and rugged, Fit my bench perfectly. Rasing and lowering the router was a dream and the precision is defiantly noticeable. I recommend this to anyone wanting to upscale their work. I do woodworking as a hobby but spend every day in the garage and this lift is amazing.

This is a solid and easy to use router lift for your router table. I wish I had purchased it years ago.

Fits perfectly in the kreg router table (duh) and is super solid and heavy. Grips my Bosch router nicely. Smooth height adjustment. Highly recommend.

Four stars for quality but it does not fit the Saw Stop router table inset, so minus one star. The plate dimensions are correct but the screw holes do not line up. Thought I had done my research and was misled somewhere on the intenet. Beware! Otherwise it was very solid. Just triple check that it fits your table.

High Quality, very accurate and very easy to use. I have no complaints about this router lift as it was very easy to install, east to set up and also very easy to use with a twist of the handle.
