What would be the suitability of mounting this router lift in an outfeed table? Plywood, etc. would constantly slide over the top.

Yes you could attach it to an outfeed table. The lift plate uses a cam lock mechanism to lock it in place after you use the leveling screws.

I mounted mine in my table saw. I removed one of the cast iron extension wings, got a piece of phenolic resin plywood and cut it to the size of the extension wing, routed it to accept the router plate and router, and mounted it where the old extension wing was. Works great and I have the option of using the fence from my table saw with it as well. I have run numerous sheets of plywood and MDF over it, as well as hard wood lumber, and have had no issues with it snagging or scarring material.

Yes you can, but....I tried some jointing but was unsuccessful. The fence is not precise and stable enough for jointing. Also, the "table" is unsteady and with a large router vibration is an issue, especially when the board makes contact with the bit. If you lived down my street I'd give you mine to try it out for yourself. In retrospect I wish I'd gone with a full size router table.

I had that problem. Mine was mounted in a router table so it was upside down which probably made things worse. I ordered another router, different make though, but will have router fixed.

The short answer is yes. The router plate in this table is not pre-drilled. It comes with a template that makes it very easy to locate and drill the mounting holes. I have never had anyone express difficulty with performing this task.Scott VMTW

I just went to garage and measured how much extension I actually get when the extender is fully seated in the 1/2" collet of the router: 1 1/4" extension. This extender is very beefy but I did experience slight chatter but that was resolved with a better mount of the router in the router table. It is recommended you use a 1 3/4" hole so the extender can be used above the surface of the router table.

I believe that it can mount to most standard router tables. I have not tried to do that, so I cannot tell you.

I'm using it in the Kregg PRS 1040 precision router table. It's a great combinaltion. One thing though, you have toorder the levelers from JessEm. The ones included with the table will not line up with the lift's screws.

The rest-plate-on-screw-head-and-adjust-plate-height thing is for sure the case with my table saw inserts. But for this router, I made up a router table (Formica to cabinet-grade MDF) and mated it to the table saw, like an extension table, but cheaper than cast iron. I know, I know--but lighter, too, and it works just fine. Then I routed a recess for the router insert, found brass flat-head screws that just fill the chamfered holes. Which means the screws through those corner screw holes hold the Triton insert plate flat and flush with the router table surface.

I have never had a problem like that. When I bought my router table I also bought a router lift to go with it. The router is the only thing on this lift and I have never had a problem with either. Suggest Mr. Lai buy a good lift mechanism and also keep the entire system vacuumed good.

Yes it can easily be mounted on a router table. In fact Rockler makes an excellent router table for trim routers. I personally made a portable one out of a sheet of plywood because I needed one a bit larger than the Rockler. If you search Amazon.com for Rockler Trim Router Table you will see what is offered. You can easily mount it to an existing router table by drilling new holes or purchasing or making a new plate ring.

I purchased the Kreg table for mine. To install this lift in a Kreg table you need to call JessEm and purchase a set of corners so the bolt holes line up in the plate otherwise the bolt holes will not line up with plate. I purchased a sheet of 3/4 inch FG ply and made a dust collection bin under the plate along with storage for bits ect, I modified Kreg's enclosure plans and took a little from the NYW router table to come up with a pretty cool table, IMHO .

I have the bench dog pro top router table (available on Amazon) with this router, and it works well. I can use the above-table connections , and they work okay - but I did have to mark and drill a hole for it, as it's non-standard to the plate that comes with the router table. The plate does mount the router fine, you just need a small pilot hole for the adjustment. Most times I just open the door and to the adjustments from there since it's a relatively compact table and easy to do.

I have both and I don't think you would be able to mount the Trio to it, the table is too large. I have a full size Bosch router on it. You should go to instructables dot com and look for the router table for the Trio, they have step by step instructions on how to build it with plywood, 2x4s and 1x6s. It seems pretty easy to build with your Trio, a saw and a drill.

Rockler has great router tables that won't break the bank. I have one and i love it. They have a throat plate that is specifay designed for this router which makes installing it extremely easy because the holes in the plate line up with the holes in the router. Honestly any router table would work with this router (woodpecker, jess-em etc.) but these can be a bit pricey.

As far as I can tell the height adjustment has to be made below the table. Changing bits can be done in with the router in the table.PS I like the router a lot and have never come close to overloading it. I looked at the competition and this was by far the best deal.

Yes, this lift is designed with features to make an excellent router table, not to make it so you only need one router for your shop. It is a little too difficult to swap from one use to another, and a tad expensive.

My kreg table has adjustment screws (for height of plate vs surrounding table) underneath. I still used them for this Incra router lift. Didn't use the router lift adj screws, as they weren't located where they needed to be for the kreg table.
