    Great job. Don't get me wrong, it's great, but it's not that hard to build a table, what differentiates the regular ones to great ones (like this one) is the attention to details, the little things that makes all the diference, when you're working, that helps you save time, work safer, etc. Congratulations !!

    • @angelcastro3129
      @angelcastro3129 2 года назад

      I was wondering the same thing. my guess is 1/4 inch thick. personally I want to build a similar lift set up for a 3 by 7 foot long work bench with built in tools, figure I would have to build one on each end with the casters set to drop about 2 feet apart to handle the weight of the onboard tools and have support in the center of the bench while being moved.

  • @saritsotangkur2438
    @saritsotangkur2438 3 года назад +2

    Awesome design! You probably could have salvaged the twisting plywood board that holds the casters by adding some plywood strips on the underside to stiffen it up. They don’t have to extend all the way, just make them as long as you can without interfering with the casters. Once you start adding fancy aluminum plates the project becomes less accessible to many of us.

    • @WesleyTreat
      @WesleyTreat  3 года назад +1

      Anything tall or long enough to make a difference would've interfered with the rotation of the casters. There was just too much leverage on that corner for small strips to correct the twist. I attempted other solutions off-camera, but only the aluminum tubing was enough. Plus, aluminum is readily available and is about as easy to work with as wood. Thanks!

    @timderks5960 4 года назад +1

    I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure you're going to want to adjust that router inset (the pro lift), so it's flush with the table. You can already see your workpiece getting hung up on the edge at 16:20, which isn't something you want. It would also create a cut that isn't deep enough on longer workpieces, since the longer piece would be laying on the table, which is slightly higher than the actual router.

  • @TonyNakr
    @TonyNakr 4 года назад

    So. First, I will date myself as an old man: My very first router table video was on Norm Abram’s New Yankee Workshop. His (Norm’s) first router table build. So far back in the annuls of time, I honestly can’t even remember when (1980’s, perhaps - God only knows). So, I was like a few other commenters: Another table design. Wait. “Kick-Lift” huh? I guess I’ll take a look . . .
    Let me just say the machine lift idea is pure and unmitigated genius. Self-contained, effective, cool, cost efficient, practical. Well done. A truly great idea.
    There are only two things I’d change. An outside magnetic safety switch: Difficult to impossible to turn on accidentally and stupidly easy to turn off if there’s a problem. When power is restored, the router stays off. Thirty dollars is cheap insurance when you need it. I think Rockler sells one, I think. The other thing is I would have made it out of oak or cherry veneer plywood and hardwood edging where needed. The cabinets in a craftsman’s workshop should demonstrate his best work. Besides, you said in your opening you threw together a router table-top for one quick project, then used it for two years. This project was to make a permanent one for the shop, so make it nice. You deserve it.
    A question (or two): How well did the dust collector pull chips away from the bit and the void behind it in the fence? The video seemed to show some problems. Same for the trunk under the router lift. A tight fit between the bit and the collar might starve the dust collection. I would think about making the door out of hardwood rails and styles with a plexiglass panel. You can add some holes to the bottom of the front door is you notice a buildup problem in the trunk. With the router lift, you’re not going to pull the insert and lift out very often to change a bit or whatever. A small problem with the dust collector will fill the area under the router with flammable dust and chips. Had it happened to me with a table saw. The hose got a hole in it, so the suction in the cabinet went to zero. While changing the blade, I just happened to notice the foot of chips in the bottom of the saw. That Murphy guy is a bitch.

  • @3weight
    @3weight 2 года назад

    Best lift I’ve seen! I’m not used to working with aluminum so don’t have an intuitive sense of the strength of different gages - how thick are the walls of those rectangular tubes you used? (Are they about 1” x 5” in cross-section, too? Dimensions there would be a great jump-start on trying to reproduce this.
    To an earlier commenter: I don’t weld either, but I think I can through-bold the plate onto the steel tube, maybe with a twin on the bottom to sandwich the aluminum. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

    How about just using locking castors? Much easier, or you can buy bolt on stops, like over centre clamps with rubber feet - much less work.
    I am just adding something similar to my saw table with two wheels at the back and at the front a fixed and free crossmembers 3 inches apart. The lower beam has two castors. The upper beam has a wooden cam and fixed long handle in the centre. Turning the handle pushes the lower beam down and lifts the table. Done a temporary fix and it works well.

    Excellent video. The production values are amongst the best that I have seen. In order to really understand exactly what is being done at each stage, I will need to view and view again.
    Most of my workshop tools are on castors. Some are on castor frames which rely for stability upon the locking castors; not good enough. I have now built some on lifting castors; much, much better but my mechanisms are no way near yours in terms of function. However, I don’t weld and will try to figure out of I can do achieve the same without welding.
    It may be we’ll be camera angle but it seemed to me that, in the final shots, the insert was lower than the phenolic table?

    Nice router table build and really like the on/off roller device. Heck, with my budget, I can't even afford the plywood that one has in it, let alone the expensive fancy hardware from Rockler. That's for either people who have the money to burn, or that are on their send them equipment list.

    A little bar soap rubbed on those drawer glides will work nicely. Use a mint or lavender scented soap to annoy the critters that may wander in.
    Nice build. I rarely watch them, but yours had an addictive effect, with a nice touch of humor. New sub.

    Excellent video and process. I am inspired by the solid build on the lifting and the latching system. Excellent work. Thank you for sharing.
