Tool Workout:
Rockler's
Mast-R-Lift Router table system
As I have said many times in reviews like this, the quality
of your tools is reflected in the finished quality of your work. With that
in mind I would like to introduce you to the Mast-R-Lift Router system from
our friends at Rockler. The heart of the system is the precision lifting system
itself. Crafted with solid incremental adjustments in mind, the tooth belt
gearing allows for adjustments that are very fine indeed, and stays where
you need it without slipping.
The removable top crank handle gives you easy access for quick adjustments
without fumbling under the table. The tabletop itself is another example of
the high standards we have come to expect from Rockler. Smooth, solid and
durable it mates perfectly with the lift. Adjusted to level with the tabletop
by 4 screws, allows you to bring the two units into alignment for a smooth
surface. Backed with the fence and safety guard which will also accept the
rockler
dust collection system that brings the whole package together. To hold
our table up, we also purchased the legs that bring the table to a comfortable
working height. All of these items are purchasable separately so you can adapt
them to what ever working layout you have in your shop.
The
Mast-R-Lift system was outstanding to work with, the precision adjustments
available from the lift bring true versatility to the router table. From the
moment I opened the package the unit simply screamed quality and precision.
The solid construction speaks of quality and long life. I am certain the Mast-R-Lift
will hold up under constant use in our shop.
Although there are defiantly cheaper lift systems available, if you believe like I do, that you get what you pay for, then the Mast-R-Lift system is a good value. Durable, precise, and an addition worthy of any home shop, I value the Mast-R-Lift system as welcome member of my shop.

A good router table is a valuable
work center for any shop. The investment in one that will perform accurately
is invaluable. This is a good investment in quality.

The Router is defiantly one of
the more useful tools in your shop and in my opinion no place to skimp.
Your investment will be rewarded with quality craftsmanship.
