This New Router Lift replaces ALL OF YOUR JIGS!

- Опубликовано: 13 май 2023
- This new machine just changed my entire woodworking workflow. I'm test driving and reviewing the brand new Shark RS1000 Pro router lift from Next Wave. The RS1000 looks like an ordinary router table from the outside but has the brains of a CNC. Giving accurate control over your bit height and fence placement. The RS1000 has 14 built in apps that replace all sorts of jigs and saves a ton of setup time. The moment I saw this machine I knew I had to have one in my shop. Don't be fooled by the touch screen and the motors. You don't need to design anything on a computer to upload. In fact the machine doesn't even allow you to upload files. Everything is built in and easy to use. AND you don't have to use the apps and can use the machine like any other router table. Learn more about the Shark RS1000 Pro here:

This may be one of the coolest woodworking tools I’ve ever seen. I can’t wait to see once we scratch the surface
This would completely remove all the fun(?) I get from messing up every joint I make. I can see me having to actually buy firewood since I won't be generating it from my failed projects.
I have the previous version- the Ready2Rout and Ready2Lift motorized combo. I was always disappointed that they didn't develop the apps like they promised. I was looking for an automatic version of what Incra's router fence positioner can do, and Next Wave implied that was coming. But I never got any update. I thought it was a good system for small projects and workpieces, such as for dovetailing shallow drawers and making boxes. But for the price, it needs to do a lot more than that. I haven't tried the new version, but it looks like the same thing. So much potential, but after all these years I am starting to wonder if they will ever take it to the next level.
I tend to agree. I want to imagine it replacing a domino but, by virtue of being a router table add-on, this is for small projects... Hard to get precise joinery in large pieces. With only one of the x/y axes controlled by the machine, there's a lot of potential for user error (read: liability concerns) which will limit what it can do
Thanks, James. You voiced my biggest concern: Because it's a closed system, you're dependent on the company continuing to develop new apps and to continue to support the system. That's a huge risk.
For example, a few years ago I bought a 'smart' treadmill. One of the selling points was that the treadmill connected to an app on your phone, which gave you access to several pre-programmed exercise routines, allowed you to create your own routines, and would track your workouts. It even weighed you each time you used the treadmill, so you could track your progress. The problem was the company quit updating the app within a year of my purchase. The app won't run on phones that are up-to-date with the current operating system (or even several iterations before the current system). That means I cannot use all the wizardry I paid for when I bought my treadmill.
Have you tried the Powerlift Pro from MLCS? I've been looking at it for a while. It looks less automatic Shark pro router. But I think it could be better in some ways.
It's a real shame they don't just make it programmable, I'd love to get one and play with writing some apps for it
It's 2,000 if you want the sliding miter with it, which I would consider necessary for this tool. Doesn't come with anything, you have to build it into your router table. It's interesting, feels like the next innovation on it might the one though for sure.
have you scratched the surface yet?
I think about the 5th time he said it, I was waiting for a second Ginzu knife to be offered for only $10 more if you call within the next 10 minutes!
Hahaha
Get outta here.
I'm going to be on my death bed still waiting...
He hasn’t even scratched the surface!
I would love to see a floating tenon app to replace another expensive tool!
I guess it’s there technically already either manually or as an extension of that biscuiting “app”
Wow, this was not what I expected after you said the next video will blow your mind. That is one really cool piece of tech for your workshop. So many options & so much time saving.
🤣🤣🤣 I guess price will blow your mind as well
I decided to watch this vid twice, BUT, I drank a shot EVERY time you said "we haven't even scratched the surface of what this thing can do"!
I ended up on the floor, passed out, and went through 2 bottles of tequila!!
🤭🤭
I just bought mine, solely because of this video! I would love for another video to follow up, to see you actually "scratch the surface" of what it can do
Damn, that thing is crazy
Very cool machine! I look forward to how you incorporate it into projects and come up with new ways to use it.
Opens up the possibility for discovering new things with how easy it is. Like that pattern you made just effin around. Pretty cool.
Please get back to me after you’ve scratched the surface.
That is an amazing tool! If I could afford it, and I still had a wood shop (long depressing story) I would buy it in a heartbeat!
Thanks for showing us these new products!
Wow that is so cool. Hope you do more videos about this router and it’s features and can’t wait to see what you build with it. Thanks for sharing.
I love this modern era of wood working and making we are in. This tool is awesome looking
Fascinating machine and great video, Dave~! I'm ready to see you using this thing in a project. Great review~!
Some say he's trying to scratch the surface of what this machine can do to this very day.
Well, I just purchased it hopefully it lives up to the expectations on the developers keep adding to the software
Thanks for the information..
What a great idea....
I can see a lot of use in a shop where you might be making furniture etc..
Love this!
This might be the coolest tool I’ve seen. It does it all! 💪🏽
I bought the Nova Viking drill press after your review video and I haven’t regretted it once. Now I’m thinking my router table needs an upgrade. This is amazing.
That router table is EPIC!! I hope you do more videos about this. I don't think you've even "scratched the surface"!
i feel like this comment hasn't even scratched the surface of what this comment can do.
Thats crazy, brilliant!
This is a great product... I'm going to start saving now...
This is a pretty cool tool!! Looking forward to see how you use it in your future projects
I think one of the most interesting ideas on this is the sliding mitre attachment running off that linear rail, which looks like a very sturdy set up.
Anyone have a link for that part? I can't find it online
This is pretty slick.
I get the sense that you haven’t even scratched the surface of what you could do with this machine. But if you could making it in your shop, you can making it anywhere.
Love you.
This is awesome can’t till more people get these in their hands .
Oh man! This is mind blowing! That is so cool! Definitely adding that in the to get list!!!!! 🤩🤩
That looks rather excellent!
WOW! WOW! WOW! That is amazing!
Crazy...Interesting setup for sure!
I saw an ad in a magazine for this just yesterday and hadn't had a chance to follow up on it to see what it is, so great timing for your video.
I hope you'll do a Part Two in a few months after you've used it more...and have scratched some surfaces. 🙂 I'll be interested to find out how well it stands up to heavy use over time. Did dust get into it and cause problems? Does it still maintain tolerances such as the set bit depth, spacing, etc as well then as it does now? Maybe you can cut some box joints or dovetails on one piece now and on the mating piece in a few months and see how well they fit together?
I'll also be interested to see if Shark can or will update the software, such as to add the features in your list of cons, if software updates can be installed by the user, and if they're free. Or will they come out with a "new and improved RS10001" and early adopters are left out?
Their website says it can be used with almost any router table, but what about using accessories such as after-market fences (e.g. Woodpeckers) or shop-made ones with all of their additional features?
Thank you for a really informative and entertaining video.
This is freaking amazing
Super Cool! I'm going to order one as a Mother's Day gift for my wife. 😉
Looks nice and I hope it works out for your future projects.
Great video. Good product will save ppl a lot of setup time and time is money! Was actually thinking of doing a diy fence positioner myself but no way my one would have that functionality!
It will change woodworking for good.I loved this
Very cool! While it's not a cnc, those are definitely some cnc mechanics there, coupled with good software. Thanks for another cool video!
Can't wait to pick one up
Your channel popped up on my youtube starting page and i just want to say that i really enjoy your videos. I am not a wood worker, mostly because of not having the space or tools to do so. Fun material though to work with.
I have bought a book called "The Folk Art Instrument Builders Reference" by Charles E. Atchison which i hope to be able to do something with in the future. Building and playing your own instruments sounds really fun. I have built a really simple cigar box guitar once by taking the neck from a childrens guitar and attaching it to a cigar box. Plays pretty well.
Take care and thank you for the videos.
That’s pretty damn cool. I’m reminded of your crazy high end drill press
For simple setups this is a moderate gain versus the cost. However for things you couldn’t do like the keyhole slot, biscuit joining etc. this is a real game changer
Awesome review. I’d love to know what that scratch resistant surface is made of.
Drinking game “we haven’t even scratched the surface” = 1 shot! Excellent video superb explanations thank you!!
That's pretty wild, and would probably pay for itself pretty quickly in a production shop. And sure it drills holes, but can it pound pegs? Thanks for sharing!
Im getting one right now this is exactly what i need in my shop even i have CNC machines but this is way faster and convenient to make traditional joints especially the the dovetail!!
That is awesome 😎 thank you for sharing this.
i agree its pretty cool most of the cons are placement and programing both can be overcome and im sure they will come up with more jig apps and ways to make your own jig apps
Man, this really is a game changer. very nice machine! Oh, and great video!
Pretty awesome this machine, really a cool tool and I tell you something......... you haven't scratch the service of what the machine can do. Love your humor 😜
Finally they rebranded the ready2rout
Wow that’s crazy cool
Honest review, first time i see u.
That’s a sweet machine! 🤤
This is nothing short of amazing!!!!
I'm actually suprised that its under 2k to get one!!!
Wow!!! I need this!!!
I am having router envy. That machine is amazing.
Stunning!
I haven’t even scratched the surface of my praise!

I’m pretty good at scratching the surface with my handheld router, would love one of these,without the exorbitant cost of shipping to Australia, nice demo!
awesome machine. I can see ways to improve it. like the box joint cutting. Place a wireless next and previous position button on the miter push bock. cut press button cut press button and hands never exit the work. I have been kicking the idea of making a router table saw fence like so.
Although I may never buy this, you made me want to buy it!👌 Can't wait for you to scratch the surface of it in future videos
very cool video dave! never thought id find that to be so cool and useful. reasonable pricing too! crazy. lets scratch the surface next project! haha
2 axis CNC with good apps. I like it.
I started engineering something like this a couple years back and got the bit moving up and down per my digital input via a stepper motor with an LCD screen and then got busy doing other things with plans to finish the table later. The programming is insane for someone that doesn't program. I would rather buy one.
Wow, pretty cool. This is like a Shaper Origin Router Table.
This is awesome. I would buy this in a heartbeat if I was doing any kind of production work where this could help.
That textured pattern would look nice as a table top with glass over it. Possibly stain the top prior to carving it to highlight the texture further.
Pretty neat.
At almost $2k, I think it’s probably best to save up a little more and get into a decent entry level CNC
I sort of agree, but I can see the market for this machine. A lot of people have a workflow in their shop that doesn't involve CAD software. This machine seems like it could easily be integrated into that workflow. If you want a degree of automation, but you don't want to start paying for a Fusion license, or learn how to use CAD software, this could be a good investment.
Entry level CNCs can't do anything efficiently, reliably or accurately. It has no place in a real workshop.
@@serdarbas8016 I think we have a different definition of "entry level" CNC. If you are spending $3-4k on any of the typical CNCs, you can definitely do all of the above and more. Especially if you shrink your footprint. needing a CNC to cover 4'x8' dramatically increases on the cost where as, something that does the sizes the machine from this video does is nearly professional level in 3-4k range.
I am curious if you have an example of an entry level cnc that makes dovetail joints?
@@CliffCutts a professional CNC can replace %80 of all my tools but I still own CNC + router + tablesaw, bandsaw… and other 20 tools. just because it can doesn’t mean it should.
All tools functionally overlap eachother at some degree and all have different weaknesses and strengths. It can be cost, speed, efficiency, accuracy, repeatability etc.
This router is almost a upside down CNC with your hands being Y axis. But it really have it’s advantages. Think of this as a afforable CNC with super fast setup and preset macros.
Ok. I'm impressed. And we haven't even scratched the surface.
I totally want one now Dave. Great job reviewing. If it can replace a domino that would be great too. I'm sure you could find a setting that would work.
🍻 Long live The Drunken Woodworker! 🍻
Game changing Shop Tech here! Great demo vid!! DRINK everytime he says "scratched the surface". 🍻😆🤘
Pretty cool even for the hobbyist woodworker as long as you can bring the work to the machine. Dont throw away that domino to soon. i do look forward to seeing more apps.
Ordered mine yesterday in no small part due to this video. I am looking forward to it and wonder if there will eventually be an add-on foot pedal for the next function so that you can cut box joints etc without taking your hands off the workpiece. That seems more efficient but I can see where it might be a safety issue too. Thanks again for excellent content presented in a fun but clear way. The production quality of you guys' videos is outstanding and has gotten better and better each and every video!
Really well thought out and useful tool definitely but can you use it to scratch up a surface. Love how each step you need to input has a clear image of what it's asking for so you can't misunderstand what you're being asked. Honestly can see this making life so much easier for so many woodworkers, both pro a dedicated amateur but it doesn't replace the Domino as you can't put domino joints in the end of really long planks nor can you take it with you to the work.
I was wondering about the lock mitre bit! Good to know it can handle one.
Great idea, can't wait for the geeks to get out Raspberry Pis, and Nemas. There will be a DIY version within a year.
Interesting they don’t have domino cutting. Would like to see that in the future.
I know! I was totally expecting a Floating Tenon app in that list. A GLARING omission.
That's a steal for the price.
For a small business online, I can see this being useful
Looks pretty cool. Gives you some CNC functions at a lower price and without the length limitations.
This video reminded me of the infomercials where it’s the “ BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE!!!” 😂😂 that’s an awesome device tho
Great review. However, you clearly avoided mention of the elephant in the room, floating tenons. Why?
The one thing that stands out to me on the negative side of things is that after each pass, you have to press the OK button. Why not provide a place to plug in a foot switch to be an "ok" key?
Other than that, dang, this thing is so cool!
Dave, saw this last night. Great video - and thanks for sharing the tool find. It went to the top of the list of shop equipment to buy. I've been struggling trying to make due w/ the built in table on a Grizzly 1023 table saw, that is not compatible w/ a lift. Been looking for a comprehensive solution. Happy w/ the Kreg table?
A friend sent this video to me. It's pretty cool, I guess. The Incra TS/LS has been doing this manually for over a decade now. Once it's setup, it's insanely accurate. I don't see the need to spend another $1500 to make it motorized. But this one is cool for what it is.
Love this machine!! Since you changed back to a router from a spindle, is there a "better" router that you recommend? Thank you!
I haven't been this impressed with a tool since I saw the pantorouter, now I'm imaging how cool it would be if this system was on that as well
Wouldn't it just be a CNC at that point?
*This is Mind Blowing fucking Crazy!!!* 🤯
*This is Fantastic I Really want this asap!!* 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍🏻
I can see why this would appeal to many woodworkers: it's intuitive, precise, quick, and familiar.
Keep in mind that you can achieve something very similar by using G-code directly, and many experienced CNC users will do just that.
I agree but this removes the computer from the equation which speeds up the process. As a CNC user myself I find this much easier and quicker.
It pleases me to see another wood worker intimidated by their router lol. Great video though. I love this product.
Wow - great tool. Most importantly to me, thank you for the disclaimer on how you obtained it and what expectations there were for it! This is important to me. I have a question - I have the Saw Stop Router table extension, which shares the table saw bed. If I were to get one of these - how easily would it be to take the fence part off and put it on when I was using the Router table? Can you show that action in your follow up video?
Thanks Bob!! don’t have any experience with the sawstop router extension but if it has slots like the Kreg table I bet it would work. Might be a better question for Next Wave.
Great video, thanks.
How would you compare this to a Shaper Origin?
Great overview of the tool. Will there be more surface scratching?
But wait, there's more,🤣 looks like a great addition to any wood workers shop.👍
“No surfaces were scratched in the making of this video.”
You are able to produce biscuits joints so much slower than a biscuiter can....amazing.
These kinds of tools are at least 10 to 15 years overdue. The technology for making this has existed for at least 20 years.
Damn! What a crazy freaking machine, Dave! 😯
Fantastic review! And congrats!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
