SAVE $70! Introductory Sale Just $299.95!
Keep your work on the table and adjust the router from the side! This professional quality router lift is precisely machined from aluminum and steel. Built to handle the big 4.2" diameter, 3-1/4 HP routers with ease (MLCS Router Motor #9564 and Porter Cable #7518). This lift allows very smooth and easy adjustments. With over three inches of travel, router bit changes can be made from above the table. Sealed ball bearings, brass fittings, heavy duty guide posts and a lead screw mean this router lift is built to last.
  • The "U-Turn" Lift comes pre-mounted to a heavy duty aluminum router plate that is designed to fit the MLCS Router Table Top and Extension Table Tops.
  • The "U-Turn" 2 Lift is mounted to an insert plate which is designed to fit other (non-MLCS) router tables.
  • The router insert plate opening allows for bits up to 3-1/2" in diameter, and includes a locking insert ring with a 2" opening.
  • The 18-1/2" height adjustment handle arm extends from the center of your router table so that the handle will clear the edge of any 36" wide or smaller table.
  • The #9565 Pro Router Table Stand is designed to be used with this lift. If you are not using the MLCS Stand, you will have to drill a hole in your stand to accommodate the handle.
  • Our accessory Locking Insert Ring Kit has openings of 1/4", 1/2", 1-3/8" and 2-1/2". 2 Router Reducers are also available (below). Kits and extra Insert Wrenches are sold separately.
