Router Lift System for 3-1/2 Inch Diameter Motors | 3/8 Inch Solid Aluminum Router Plate, 5 Insert Rings, 3 Inch Height Adjustment, 10 Leveling Set Screws, RTS05

This is a well built and finished product comparable to any competitors. Lift operation is smooth and solid. There is no apparent backlash and it offers an effective and convenient locking mechanism, affording good adjustment precision. The indexing readout is also effective and convenient to use and zero out. The crank is located well in front of the router and with its long shaft allows manual operation that clears typical fences in any position without interference. The table insert provides a perfect standard fit and adjustment.

Awesome. Makes for a very precise working surface. I couldn’t be happier with how it works and the quality of the product. Be careful of small hardware though. The set screws have a habit of falling out, and you’ll never find them in sawdust.

I've had my small wood shop for 15 years and always wanted to build a better router table. I purchased this lift kit and found it to be the best lift I've ever used. Can't thank the company enough. Price is outstanding compared to other lifts and the quality us nothing short of excellent. Thanks!

I like my Bosch RA1181 table but the lift mechanism RA1165 is terrible. I have gone through two of them with lost split pins and proposed fixes are marginal at best. And no matter what you do, you have to get your hand under the table to change out the bit as the router does not raise high enough to get the bottom spanner in place. So I wanted to replace it with a better lift but there is nothing with a plate that is the right size for the RA1181. So I took a chance and bought this one thinking I could trim the aluminium base with my table saw to fit. I shaved a few mm off each edge leaving just enough so that the levelling set screws still worked and it fit pretty much perfectly. The actual inset on the table itself isn't exactly square and there is some thick paint making it a bit uneven so some scraping of the table could have made the fit even better. But I'm very happy with it as is. It's perfectly level, the 3.5" 1617 router raises up and down without issue and it goes high enough to change the bit with ease. The other benefit is that I can close up the front and back of the table and get better dust collection. Previously I had a lot of dust drop down below the table and I couldn't close it up as I had to leave access from below to change the bit. The only minor niggle is that the bent wire tool for changing the plastic inserts is too flexible but this can easily be remedied with a handle or a replacement. It's a very simple tool. Overall I'm very happy with my setup now. I don't think you can get an aluminium topped lift without spending considerably more. I see a lot more routing in my future.

I got this router lift after having made my own for a while but were never really that good,saw this one at a good price and decided to get it,I made a new top for my router table to install it,it works like a charm,so easy to install and uninstall the router if need be,comes with a few different size inserts to use with different size bits,the up and down mechanism is nice and smooth and very accurate,I would get another one if I had to

I really like this lift. Reasonably priced compared to Jessem and just as high in quality. I like the nice, sturdy construction and setup was pretty easy. I guess 3 1/2" routers are a thing of the past, so I'm glad to have found this one. Ol' Skool is kind of a dumb name, but they seem to make pretty good tools.

Unit is precise and fits my DeWalt 3.5” dia. router perfectly, enabling me to easily swap bits and make adjustments above the table. My only gripe is that the rotation crank handle seems a bit wonky when attempting to raise or lower the router any distance rapidly. I’ve taken to using a small drill at low torque with a hex-head bit in lieu of the handle. The value point is really nice for the high quality and design when compared to much higher priced “brand named” units. Also, comes with wide supply of plates and very clear instructions. Agreed that this is one of those jigs that you don’t know you needed it until you find you can’t do without it.

I just received the O'Skool hand cranked router lift and it is absolutely a perfect match to the precise Bosch 1617. Not just in fit which it certainly does just fine but in the lift itself as well. It is super smooth and easy to operate along with the lock which does its job with ease. The rings fit well and turn to a locked position easily with the included stainless steel yoke. I did check it for flatness with a good straight edge and it is as straight as can be and most acceptable for my work. I had already ordered O'Skool's router plate when I saw their lift on Amazon. After receiving the lift and checking my 1617 in it I am sending the plate back without ever opening it. If you can justify the extra expense of the lift you won't regret it. The lift purchase frees up a base to set up for other things as well. I don't get as excited as this about many purchases from Amazon but this lift warrants being this pleased!

Buen producto se mira de buena calidad falta probarla

This product is half the price of the top tier router lifts out there and when you take it out of the box, it’s got some heft to it but more than that, it Ozzies quality! I have the Kreg phenolic router plate and it is just a directly swap into the router table, same hole positions and identical dimensions. Could not be more happy with the purchase. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Haven’t used it yet but so far, very, very happy with it.
