- I was getting ready to put together a new table saw. I had decided that I had made due with cheap router inserts long enough. I was getting ready to buy a Jessem router lift or perhaps one from Rockler. I even looked at the Incra router lifts and they all seem to be the same lift with only minor differences. Then I found this lift from O'SKOOL. It seemed to be in a class of its own, while the price was about the same as a couple of the other more expensive brands. All I can say is I am so grateful that I got this. It is really a wonderful piece of equipment. If you would like to get one for yourself, the link is below. I have purchased a couple of other items from old school. I had not heard of this company before, but every product I have bought from them has been excellent quality.

I like how you leave nothing out on your reviews. It looks like a great lift once you dial it in and get use to it. Thanks for sharing this one
Thanks, I try to put in what I want to know before purchasing.
I think I’m sold. Hopefully, it is the same size as my Rockler router plate. Thanks for the review.
I was fairly certain they were. Jessem makes the plates for Rockler, Kregg, and Incra. I just ran back out to the shop and pulled out a Kregg plate I had. They are the same size as the O'Skool
@@ShopRamblings thanks, buddy. Good job on your reviews
Thanks
I just built a router table and put the manual o s lift in a 1 inch thick acrylic top, kinda wild like yours.
So what do you think about the quality? 🤔
It seems to be just fine, i havent worked it very hard yet but I will very soon.setup and bit changes are qick yours has a bit of a learning curve to it. I just bought a new table saw or I would have got the motorized one too.@@ShopRamblings
Looks great. I'd don't see a mechanical backup when the brain box dies. Is there that option?
No
Watched your video and thats all it took I want one. My question if you can tell me what is the router lift cut out size Hoping its 11-3/4 X 9-1/4. Thank you for doing this video.
I am not at home to measure it but it is the same size as my Kregg and Jessem inserts.
Nice...my only thing is it moves soooo slow.. definitely guna consider it..,thanx..
It moves slow on short moves. It does speed up when making longer moves. To be honest, I was thinking the same as you when I first started using it. After using it, I realized that the only time I am making long moves is when changing bits. I hit the move all the way up button, and it finishes before I get the new bit out. Setting up the proper height is so much faster. On bits I use frequently, I am going to start marking the height I use them at. Then, I can install them and set the height on the first try. It's so much better than the way I have done it for the last 30 years. #efficiency #productivity #timemanagement
@@ShopRamblings oh ok.. good point...think I'm guna get, I'm sold because the set up is simple and the accuracy I can tell is there.. thanks again..
@@ShopRamblings Does the device have a memory of those heights, or do you just need to keep a notebook of what height each bit is?
When you set it up the first time it remembers top and bottom. It then only has one preset that you can change. That is zero. 🔧
When you change bits, they may not be in the same place. What would like would be a sensor where you could lower the bit. Place a metal ruler across the opening and raise the bit up until it touches.📏
I currently do this manually and set that as zero. Then you can raise the bit to a predetermined height. 📏 #woodworking #DIY #tools
@@ShopRamblings The sensor you're talking about is a touch off gauge. I'm not sure if they make one router specific but there are a lot of different models for machining, both manual and electronic. I'm sure you can find one to work with a router table, or make a jig to hold one.
I'm sold also. One question would you make me a control switch box for me like yours. I will pay you & postage. Thank You, Tom.
Are you just wanting me to print the box and mail it to you? or are you wanting the switches, wiring, and plug all put together?
Yes, I don't have a way to make one. Let me know how to pay you. I'm in Prospect, Pa 16052. Really appreciate it.
Top it out and drop the router just under the ring you’re worried about crashing into.
That would work but one this router make it hard to be able to press the lock button.
IDK, $429 + tax to lift a $150-250 router? I don't see the value.
The lift is what gives you the accuracy.
@@ShopRamblings I realize that. Idk, maybe.
I don't understand why most router lifts cost $350-500. There's so many power tools that seem like they are more complicated and expensive to manufacture but can be had for a fraction of the cost of various router lifts.
Most are just a couple of linear bearings and a lead screw. This one has all that and a precision motor, control panel, and all the electronics for the same price as the Incra. @@YTubeSDD
