In this video I will show how to hack an old router with a simple lifting system. May not be the most precise work, but kind of "Proof of concept". I have seen a lot of fantastic router jigs created in different ways and in different materials on YouTube (and thanks for that :). But why bother build a jig or system, if you have an old router laying around anyway - which can be modified as needed.
I plan to permanently have the router mounted in my table saw side table, so no need for creating a fancy plate for picking the router on and off the table .. In this way it can be made easy and simple :)
By the way - this router is today priced at about 56 € as new and is 1200 W.
