This is an older video that I originally posted on my second channel, more or less accidentally - I got mixed up and uploaded it to that one instead of this one, and since my internet is expensive, I decided to leave it.
It has done ok there, but it really belongs here. I don't have a new video for this week (busy working on the plans for a new machine) I thought now was a great time to post it over here.

Hey John , yesterday I paid for your router lift plans , which I have not received, I paid by PAY-PAL
@@jmm1886 I guess you didn't read this:
ibuildit.ca/important-information-buying-plans/
@@JohnHeisz Hi John , thanks for the reply , could you please send me the link so that I can download them
@@jmm1886 like it says in that page that I guess you still haven't read, the link was sent to the email address you use with paypal. please check there and your spam folder for it and if you still can't find it, email me using the email address in that page.
As I was building this, I was amazed at the brilliance of the design. Exceptionally accurate and easy to operate, yet ridiculously simple to build. Really, it's just layers of plywood, no complicated joinery. Genius! I found the table saw fence to be the same; easy to build, brilliantly designed, simply tune-able to dead-nuts accuracy.
Thank you!
Just finished your lift last week. Previously, I built your table saw rip fence and it made my accuracy go up 10 fold over my 40 year old craftsman contractor saw fence. I took my time (not easy for me) building the lift and it works fantastic. I always love your plans and accompanying videos and articles. By the way this is the 3rd lift I’ve built. The other designs were from other RUclipsrs and I just could not make them with enough precision. Thanks again for great videos and plans.
I should be finishing the build this morning. In case anyone is in doubt, John's plans are extremely clear and easy to follow.
Thanks Graham :)
I'm always amazed at what you can put together from a small pile of plywood and a fist full of hardware. Very clever mechanism John.
I like that your router lift is a slow moving lift with a hand crank for precision depth
How do I download the plans without downloading other programs, when I try to download it forces me to download a winzip program that I have already downloaded previously.
I bought the plans and built it. Great addition to my shop and great improvement for any router table.
Their is one thing I do admire about you, your attention to detail and you simple explanation.
Just bought the plans and the download was jet fast. Had no idea how well- illustrated and detailed the plans were going to be. You get 2D and 3D drawings that show exactly how to build it. These "I Built It" videos are loaded with clever tricks, especially this one with the sliding parts.
Thank you!
Buy the plans for this router lift (and the bench top router table), you won't be disappointed. The plans are exceptionally well written with plenty of detail and easy to follow. My benchtop router table is a joy to use. Thank you.
wow, you've out-done yourself john, i'm very impressed. when i saw you screwing the t-nuts into place I remembered that there are t-nuts for metalworking, they're meant to be welded in place. but for woodworking applications they can be screwed in place using the predrilled holes.
.
I bought the plans and built the ultimate box joint jig over a year ago. I wish I had known that you we're going to design and build a router lift. Because I know it would have worked just as well as the one I bought ~ 4 months ago, and would have cost me nothing compared to the lift that I bought. Anyway I use my box joint jig all the time and I really really like it. I really do appreciate the things that you do and provide plans for us to buy and build. From now on I'm going to check in on your Channel and see if you have, or are going to build something that I might need before I go out and buy it.
I don't always get notifications of your projects that you are starting to work on. Sometimes I do. Oftentimes I have to go back and click on the Bell and reset it. Even that doesn't always work. Thanks for all that you do.
Excellent build! Wish that I had seen this before I built my router table. I am going to have to look at those measurements to see if the lift will still fit under my table. If it will, I am going to order those plans & build it................Thanks John.........................
How am I not subscribed to this channel. Goldmine of good ideas.
Thank you for this masterpiece, Master woodworker mine you will be 😂😂😂😂 this is genius
Already have your lift . The best money I ever spent. This router lift works great.
You make marvelous projects. Years ago before you tube I never would have thought you could make so many things from wood
Thank you for making these videos
Great idea and I plan to buy the plans as soon as my router plate comes in. I am making a table from scratch so I might as well add a lift at the same time. I was thinking of using plastic on the moving edges to make it smoother up and down. Great design and the best I have seen on youtube.
Great design John... I'm going to have to buy these plans for myself ASAP.
Just so I have it straight in my head, The hex nut in part I is pushed by the locking handle, causing part I to press against the carriage, creating a friction lock?
Great project John.
exactly.
Looks like a great design. Seems a hand plane might come in handy for the fitting.
This is a really clear and easy to follow process... even I could do this!
Perhaps this lift would be the perfect design for developing into a tilting router lift :)
Two screwdrivers as adjustment motors and it's a DE-lux lift
Thank you, master! from Argentina
Great channel thanks for the content and
greetings from Reutlingen👐
Once I get myself a router i'll build this thing! Great design!
Spectacular build as always John, will have to keep this in mind for when I get around to building my router table. 👍
Excellent build video, John!! Thank you for posting this and making the design available!!
John?! Your Workbench clean? Holy Moly😂
Another great video John! Nice engineering went into this one as well as many others you build! Definitely Inspirational!
That’s ingenious, awesome 😎
The same applies here, Hi, I would definitely buy these plans if I knew where to buy the router motor. Thanks for the video. Mike
Beauty is you can utilize any router. Including just finding an old used router and taking it out of its base
This is clever and makes perfect sense, except that bolt glued into part H. I can't figure out what's up with that.
John, I haven't been on youtube in some time and you were the first I wanted to see. I literally was looking for a router lift online when this video came up. Earry. The shop looks so good and well organized. Thanks for this and all of your video';s
Others should use John's plans as an example of how to do them properly.
Bought one somewhere else this week for a jig and it looks like a manual to build the Enterprise. Going to reverse engineer it from the picture instead... sheesh.
Was planning to build this today until the flu kicked my ass this week.
Really clever router lift i loved it
"As the rod turns" I love that show
Awesome job thank you for taking time to show us
Very good work. I am just lost on how the locking machinism works.
Great job John! Workbench looks great!
Another great video - you are doing a fine job John. Mike in Australia
awesome work as usual Sir. bravo.
This is an excellent project video and well explained...
John, as usual this is a great assembly video of your astonishing router lift!
The gray last a long time ,I'm told but it is your video ,
Very cool John. Thanks for posting.
Awesome work John! 👍👊
Now that’s a sweet lift thanks John. Take Care
john your videos are always imformative and are interesting to watch, keep up the good work.Thankyou!
A very cool project and well designed too. I'm curious about the function of the 1/4 inch bolt that was glued in near the end of the video though. I couldn't tell what it is for.
Same! What's that bolt for? ?
If you're talking about the rod at 12:56, I wondered the same thing. That bolt gets a handle on its end (seen on the diagram at 13:34); turning it applies pressure to a plate that jams the router carriage in place after the height is set, so it can't slip. I think that's why some of the pieces (I and J) were not glued, but only screwed in place at one end, so they can flex enough to use as "brakes."
162 978 views it's not enough! very good job, smart creative and well done.
Simply wonderful. Wish i could do the same. Regards, Engineer from India
Thanks for posting it again.
thank you very much , John .. İstanbul turkey..
I like this plan and I'm planning how to buy it, but I suggest you make a plan for a big router. Thank you.
Who the fu#% hits thumbs down??
Great job and design, John!!
Excellent router lift!! I wanna ask you if I can build the plywood parts with hardwood, as I don't have plywood
Great work! Very impressed!
I am tempted to make this then take it apart and cast it in aluminum.
Good tool!
Nice! Thanks for the video.
Enjoying following this build. Thanks for making these videos😁 how's the table saw coming along?
I built this a few years ago after buying your plans, it still works great and in my opinion one of the best designs out there. (I motorised it using an old drill motor, I also used petroleum jelly to lubricate the sliding parts and have never had any problems sticking)
Hi John I like to know what is the measurements off all the parts i like to build one my self
very good , thanks
Nice made
I use the wax from a toilet bowel ring. Inexpensive at the big box stores.
Nice to see this video again on this channel . As you suggested i am following the forum to for the tablesaw build , so maybe ahead on the topic , but since you are motorizing the saw for lift are you gonna motorize the tilt to ? Maybe with lineair actuator ( elektric cilinder) or something else or keep that manual ? Cheers
The tilt will be manually operated.
Any experience with candle wax, paraffin, as a lubricant instead? For the extra difficulty of applying it, it should at least last longer to be worth it.
Cool video. What’s up with the table saw build? Is that still happening or no?
Están muy bien los trabajos pero estaría mejor si les pudieran poner subtitulos gracias
Ótimo trabalho!
I need to build this someday soon, probably in the early spring. I live in rural Canada, can you tell me where to get bearings?
John, Is there a video covering the lock mechanism?
So it's a case of a little dap will rather that the bigger the gob the better the job.
John, can this be built where the handles come out the opposite side?
genius
I would to buy the plans for the How To Make A Precision Router Lift
This works.
Great video! Excellent instructions
I just saw your utube Chanel I have worked with wood for about 40 yrs.i love the way you make these machines out of wood
Are wax AND jelly a bad idea?
I don’t suppose anyone knows what type of router John has used in his video. Is it a 1/2” or 1/4” collet size. I am struggling to find an appropriate router with a 1/2’ collet (I have quite a collection of 1/2” bits) thanks, Mike
tem como fazer de plástico reciclável ? grato
Hi John , just paid for your router lift plans , how do I get them, and when
Отлично 👍👍👍👏
Thanks for sharing. ;-)
Nice!!!!
At 10:22 what is the point of the bolt you inserting?
Do you still use this lift? Long term are you happy with it?
I too bought John's excellent plans and built this lift. However, the router I chose to use [Makita D Handle Router 3601B] was a bit meatier and gave the mechanism some challenges. I looked around for some ideas and chose to follow the modifications that John Deacon employed [ruclips.net/video/uXWzVyHdOxQ/видео.html]. I also used an M16 threaded rod. It now works like a charm and is a great addition to my shop. I also started out with lower grade ply - note from the wise [now] - always use birch ply when told to!
Does this fit a compact router?
Hi John! is it better for you that we are supporting you through patreon or youtube membership?
who charges less commission?
Patreon changes less and you can pay what you want to - anything from a dollar and higher. Memberships are flat $5 per month.
@@JohnHeisz i'm already a patreon but i was thinking to myself if thats the best i can do for you, i wasn't sure that i'm helping as much as i can. now i know that i am.
Thanks for everything! i really do enjoy each and every video you post.
HI John , Yesterday I paid for your plans and have not received them , could you
please let me know what is happening regarding this . I paid by PAY-PAL
Srsly 2 downvotes? Must be drunks that missed the thumbs up button.
So I just bought the plans and I tried to copy them , then lost them. Can anyone help?
I found them!!!
How to buy plans from you?
Hi John. I hope you don't find me too invasive, but I want to ask you how are you going? I mean, really. You sound exhausted. You got me worried. Please, take care of yourself. Love and light, brother.
This video was made more than a year ago, and I'm still alive, so...
That's good to hear. Peace.@@JohnHeisz
Would have linear rails and a dro if it's really precise lol
Hi there I hope you dont mind I have messaged you on instagram just want some advice before I download the plans many thanks , keep up the good work
You should work for IKEA!
Who down votes videos like these? People who have no clue as to what they are watching I guess.
Usually either haters or people that think by clicking the dislike button. RUclips will stop recommending videos like this. Some people need a larger power (like RUclips) to filter what they are shown so that they won't click on it and watch, because they can't help themselves.
