Our lastest lift solution for the router table is the MAST-R-LIFT EXCEL™. This product combines our solid phenolic MAST-R-TOP™ in black, with all the features of our MAST-R-LIFT™ and more. This combination was designed to allow the addition of two great new features, a micro adjust dial which protrudes slightly beyond the edge of the tabletop and rotates independently of the lift mechanism. This feature allows you to "zero-out" the MICRODIAL™ and then accurately crank the router up at a ratio of 1/64 inch per 1/4 turn of the crank. The dial is scaled for micro adjustments as intricate as .001". Extremely precise adjustments to the router bit cutting height can now be performed faster and easier than ever before. The second feature to this new product is an integrated dust port that is machined into the lift's housing underneath the table top. This design virtually sucks up the chips just as they are cut by the router bit. This design feature will literally extend the working life of the router motor. When mounted to the router table, the router motor is positioned upsid- down leaving the internal motor vulnerable to an accumulation of dust and pitch deposits. This causes the motor to heat up over time and eventually fail. JessEm's new lift design removes the chips before they can reach the router, ultimately prolonging the life of the motor through more efficient chip extraction.

The black phenolic MAST-R-TOP™ includes our MAST-R-TRAC™ with a Miter Track in between two T-tracks. this heavy gauge 6061 aluminum extrusion is anodized in red and ready to attach jigs, hold-downs or a miter gauge. The lift mechanism is raised and lowered by an offset right-angle gearbox positioned in the right front corner, under the table top. The gearbox features a red anodized aluminum "balanced ball crank" handle reminiscent of the classic milling machines used in metalworking. The gearbox drives the lift mechanism via a precision timing belt. The lift mechanism utilizes our patented adjustable tensioning design for reliable operation with the utmost accuracy and no backlash. The MAST-R-LIFT EXCEL™ will accept the Porter Cable model 7518 out of the box, and accepts additional routers with cylindrical motor housings with the use of a reducer collar (sold separately). The centerhole in the tabletop is machined with a 3-5/8" diameter TAB-LOC™ centerhole to accept up to a 3-1/2" diameter raised panel bit. An insert ring with a 1-1/2" diameter centerhole for most smaller bit diameters, an insert ring wrench, starting pin and hex key wrench are also included. Additional insert rings sets and featherboards are available separately. (please see our accessories page).

Like all JessEm Lifts our carriage shafts are precision ground and pressed into shaft mounts using hydraulic pressure, not just bolted to the plate. Our shaft mounts are held to the plate with (4) socket head screws spread equally around the shaft mount to ensure the plate and the shafts are rigidly connected together to overcome any lateral forces caused by routing. They are engineered to provide the most rigid mount for your router. This is an extra step but worthwhile to provide the most rigid set up and years of dependable service.

The Mast-R-Lift Excel™ features a balanced ball crank handle off the side. With the lift built into the top, height adjustment is built in.

The Mast-R-Lift Excel™ has a miter track and T-Track made of anodized aluminum inserted into the table top.

Another nice feature of the Mast-R-Lift Excel™ is the micro dial. It can be set to zero at any point throughout the travel of the lift and has gradations of 0.002".

As many woodworkers already know, multi-base router kits are becoming extremely popular today. Now the traditional fixed base router with a removeable motor has evolved into various kit options that include an interchangeable router motor, a fixed base, a plunge base and some manufacturers have also added a "D" base option. The JessEm Mast-R-Lift was originally designed to be used with the removeable 3HP motor from a fixed base Porter Cable 7518. Then we offered adapter collars for the smaller 2HP motor diameters to fit our Mast-R-Lift's carriage. The problem for many 2HP router users has been the cost of a Mast-R-Lift plus the adapter collar exceeds the price of their 2HP router. As much as they wanted to experience the benefits of a precision height adjustment system they could not justify the price. Now we have come up with a great solution, the all new Rout-R-Lift FX for 2HP fixed base router motors! Now you get all the great benefits of a Mast-R-Lift at a 2HP price! The Rout-R-Lift FX offers above the table height adjustment and bit changes as well as the unsurpassed accuracy of a JessEm Lift. The Rout-R-Lift FX offers comparable quality and performance at a very affordable price. Our New Cam-Lock Clamp design works great for quick and easy Plug'N'Rout motor changes, the Rout-R-Lift FX is fast becoming the "Ultimate Base" for interchangeable 2HP router motors!

This innovative product works by cranking a removable handle with a hex- shaped shaft. Simply drop in the handle, crank the router up or down, pull out the handle and you're ready to go! Adjustments can be made with incredible precision - each full turn of the handle equals .05". The plate has a dial etched with .005" increments allowing you to make repeatable micro adjustments with ease. The ROUT-R-LIFT offers a full 2-1/2" of vertical travel. Constructed of precision ground premium 6061 aluminum components and designed to stand up to daily demands of today's top cabinetmakers, furniture makers and other custom woodworking pros. The lift features our unique MAST-R-RING router mounting system with JessEm's so called "Swiss Cheese" multi-hole pattern. We have yet to find a router that won't fit this system! Once mounted to the MAST-R-RING the router can then be rotated to the most convenient position to access your router. The insert plate centerhole is machined to accept a large 3 - 1/2" raised panel bit and includes a 1-1/2" diameter insert ring. Additional insert ring sets are available separately. Turning the removable 3/4" solid arboron handle with quick speed knob is all you need to do to adjust the height of your router. Drop it in - adjust and take it out. Also new with the Rout-R-Lift™ is a new levelling system built right into your Rout-R-Lift™. Four 1/2" x 1/2" aluminum bars surrounding the Rout-R-Lift™ combined with set screws allows you to perfectly level your Rout-R-Lift™ in your table. NEW LEVELING SYSTEM ! The main insert plate is 11-3/4" x 14-3/4" x 3/16" solid aluminum and anodized for durability. One revolution of the quick speed knob equals 0.050" The router opening on the top plate without the inserts is 3-5/8". NO MORE DRILLING ! Now the solid aluminum carriage plate on the Rout-R-Lift™ is predrilled for over 30 different router models. The hole patterns are layed out in the instruction manual, you just find your router make and model, mark your holes and mount your router to the Mast-R-Ring. The unique feature about the Mast-R-Ring is not only are your holes already drilled but once you place the ring back into the carriage plate you can rotate the Mast-R-Ring to the best position most convenient to you. HOW THE ROUT-R-LIFT WORKS... Driven by a belt-pulley system, you can adjust your router up to 2-1/2" up or down. The brass threaded tensioning nut compensates for thread clearance providing just enough tension on the threads to keep the carriage from adjusting while in use. ROUT-R-LIFT SIZE: 11-3/4" x 14-3/4" x 3/16" THICK FITS ALL ROUTER BASES USED WITH MAST-R-TOP #02034
