INCRA/Woodpecker PRL-V2 router lift table insertINCRA has teamed up with Woodpecker to create the PRL-V2 router lift insert. Adjust the roughly the height of the router, then use a large embedded thumb wheel insert on the top of the table to make your final fine adjustments.

The concept is like nothing else: To raise or lower the router quickly, the quick lifting tool disengages the lift’s mechanism and the spring assist allows the heaviest routers to travel freely with very light effort and no cranking. The router’s collet can be raised above the table for bit changes in two seconds!

Adapter pads include DeWALT DW618, Bosch 1617EVS & 1618 and Porter-Cable series 690 and 890

I’m surprised, the price is quite reasonable for the features and construction looks quite impressive on the pics!

Festool MFK 700 - compact versatile router

I saw a great review on www.thewoodwhisperer.com. Found it was really innovative the whole concept of this little compact router. What they’ve done is allowed a router to flip on it’s base to get vertical with a 1.5 degree tilt up so that when doing edge trimming you aren’t going to kill the top part. So you get both, trim edge or top. Just wondering what else it can do as a router, doubt it would replace but I’d sure push one to it’s limits… he! he! he! The site also offers lots of pics and nice video demonstration. See Festool site.
