Precision Router Lift

precision router lift

U.S. Patent #6,505,659.

If you're looking for the best router lift money can buy, look no further. The patented Woodpecker Precision Router Lift excels in every area. From its dual-lift screws, precision fine-pitch thread, ground and polished lift posts, cast and ground router plate and automatic brake, the Precison Router Lift is second to none. With the PRL's unique capabilities and unmatched heavy duty construction, you'll be able to make router bit adjustments in intervals of .001” as well as have the ability to change router bits above the router table with an American made tool design to-last a lifetime. FLATTER PLATE
We start with a super-flat, cast, Blanchard ground 9¼ " x 11¾ " by 3/8" thick aluminum plate. To ensure a perfect fit with the table opening, two edges have adjustable spring loaded brass plungers and eight threaded set screws for leveling.

TWIST LOCK RINGS
Included with each PRL are three Twist Lock Rings with. A 1” and 2-5/8” hole diameter as well as a step ring for PC template guide bushings.

HEAVY DUTY CARRIAGE
The motor support carriage is a solid, 2” thick aluminum extrusion machined to exactly fit the outside diameter of Porter-Cable Model 7518 router. Adapters are available for other motor diameters including Milwaukee 5625, PC 690/890, Bosch 1617/1618 and Makita 1100.

DUAL LIFT SCREWS
Only the Woodpecker PRL is built with dual, lift screws for smooth, even adjustments while firmly supporting 18lb router motors. Models are available in either 1/16 th or 1/32 th pitch giving you the choice between extremely fine or very fast adjustments. To make set up even easier, each PRL has two separate, adjustable scales which can be calibrated to your starting position then used as a reference for future adjustments.

OIL IMPREGNATED BEARINGS
All the PRL bearings are oil impregnated. They maintain a light oily surface to reduce friction and increase life.

WIDEST POST SPAN
The motor carriage glides perfectly on ground and polished 1.025” diameter steel posts. At 10-1/2”, the span between posts assures rock solid perpendicular alignment to the mounting plate.

AUTOMATIC BRAKE
No other lift features a built in, automatic brake. The PRL's brake lock system prevents vibration from causing unwanted lift screw rotation. The brake is automatically released when the crank tool is inserted into the lift sprocket and reactivated upon crank tool removal.

QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP
Every part of the PRL, from the precision steel lift screws, the polished steel posts and the meticulously machined rings are crafted to exacting levels of accuracy rarely found in woodworking equipment. Many tolerances of the PRL are measured in .0001” increments.

This accurate, ruggedly built tool will serve you for years.

We guarantee it, for life.

PATENTED DESIGN
The patented Woodpecker Precision Router Lift is manufactured by us, right here in our state-of-the-art metal working facility. We make it, we sell it, we stand behind it. Because we sell direct, you don't have to pay for multiple levels of distribution. For the price of your average router lift, you now can treat yourself to above average quality. Invest in the best. You won't just like it, you'll love it. Patent number 6,505,659

THE ORIGINAL PRL IS BEING DISCONTINUED.

Since 2001, the original Woodpeckers Precision Router Lift (PRL) has been a rock solid router lift known for its accuracy, durability and out-and-out precision. Production of PRL parts stopped months ago and soon we will be assembling the last of this model.

We're extending a special opportunity to all interested woodworkers to own a classic American made router lift for only $199.99. It's been about nine years since a PRL sold for that price. That's a savings of $130 from the current sale price.

It comes with a one year warranty and we expect to have spare parts for a couple years after that.

The PRL is available in 16 or 32 pitch. The 16 pitch raises and lowers at the rate of 1/16 th inch per rotation and the 32 pitch at 1/32 nd inch per rotation. We refer to that as fast or fine pitch. If you're not familiar with the original Woodpeckers PRL, click on the image and learn more.

Orders for the original PRL will ship approximately two weeks from the date of your order.

Note: Lifts include a Steel Starting Pin.
