Here is a photo of the huge Porter Cable 7518 Router bolted up to the Kreg Precision Router Table Lift. The 7518 is a very large and heavy router motor. One nice thing, about the 7518, is you can buy a "Motor Replacement" instead of the whole router. That saves you at least $50.<br />
<br />
The replacement motor is just the motor with out the base. Besides if you leave the 7518 bolted in the Kreg lift all the time you will not need the Porter cable base.<br />

I would say mine works the same way, with the rod, when doing major height adjustments. But I do not have any problem with the micro-adjuster. I just make sue to reset it to the mid point before I use the rod to adjust the height.

The router lift I purchased seems "sticky"....<br />
<br />
When the locking bar is inserted for macro adjustments, the lift is difficult to move to where I want it to go. A significant force is needed to "break" it loose from its current position, and often travels much further than I wish.<br />
<br />
The micro adjust wheel moves fine, but does take some pressure to move as well.<br />
<br />
Any tips for how to get the router lift to move more fuildly are much appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance.<br />

If you look closely at the line drawing in the instruction you can see the proper way of installing the Fence Block. I just though it needed to line up with edge of the table. It did not make sense that the mount overlapped the table. But that is the correct way. I'm sure it too keep things aligned.<br />
<br />
Just my dumb mistake.<br />

I've been thinking about gettin the smaller model this Fall if possible. Not enough room in my shop for a full-size. How oes quality compare to the Kreg Jig?</div>
